The WeVideo alternative without 480p watermarked free exports
WeVideo found its niche in classrooms, and it shows: the free plan exports at 480p with a watermark, five minutes of publish time a month, and the tiers that fix this run $4.99–$39.99 per month. For a creator or small business, that free tier is a demo reel, not a tool.

Why creators switch from WeVideo
EseCut's free plan is the tool: 1080p watermark-free exports, unlimited projects, auto captions, motion presets, SFX, and background removal. If you outgrew WeVideo's education constraints, this is the upgrade that doesn't add a bill.
- 1080p free vs 480p — your work stops looking compressed
- No monthly publish-minutes meter to ration
- Captions and effects in the free tier, not the Business tier
- The same browser convenience WeVideo pioneered, without the classroom limits
The verdict
WeVideo's free tier is a preview of a paid product. EseCut's free tier is a product — same browser, ten times the output quality.
