SendShort vs. Kapwing – which one is actually better for short-form content?
Kapwing is a solid general-purpose video editor, but it’s not built for short-form video automation. It focuses more on long-form editing, while SendShort is designed specifically for repurposing long videos into engaging shorts — faster and with AI-powered automation.
1. Pricing – more value for less money
SendShort starts at $20 per month and includes all AI-powered features for short-form editing.
Kapwing starts at $24 per month, costs more, and isn’t optimized for short-form content repurposing.
2. Editing focus – short-form repurposing vs. long-form editing
SendShort is built for clipping, editing, and automating short-form content. It lets you turn long videos into 100+ edited shorts per month without extra work.
Kapwing is better suited for long-form content. It limits video processing to 5 hours per month and lacks key automation features for short-form repurposing.
3. AI automation that speeds up content creation
Both tools offer AI-generated captions, but SendShort adds automation that saves creators hours of editing time:
- Automated faceless content series that generates and schedules multiple faceless videos. Kapwing doesn’t support this.
- AI-generated hooks to make shorts more engaging and increase retention. Kapwing doesn’t have this feature.
- Custom thumbnails so you can control how your video appears on platforms like YouTube Shorts. Kapwing doesn’t let you set thumbnails, meaning a random frame is selected instead.
SendShort is the better choice for short-form content creators
Kapwing is great for editing longer videos, but if you’re serious about repurposing content into short-form clips, it lacks the AI-powered automation that makes the process efficient.
SendShort gives you better tools, more automation, and unlimited repurposing capabilities for a lower price. If you want to create, edit, and scale short-form content easily, SendShort is the better option.
