Two different tools

CapCut is a general video editor from ByteDance with templates, effects, AI tools and AI video generation. It also has an AI clip maker that cuts a long video into short clips and reframes 16:9 to 9:16. CapCut's page for that tool lists uploads from your device, cloud, Google Drive and Dropbox, not links.

Vidulk is built around clipping. You paste a link or upload, the AI transcribes and scores the moments, and you edit the clips with 65 caption styles, auto-reframe on faces, a hook title card, progress bar, logo and music with ducking.

Pricing

CapCut says prices vary by region, device and promotion. On its US pricing page, Pro is $19.99 a month with 1,200 AI credits, Ultra is $79 a month, and Teams is $12.49 per seat. Its iPhone app also sells a Standard plan at $9.99 a month. Yearly billing is up to 30% off.

Vidulk Unlimited is $9.99 a week, $19.99 a month or $179 a year on the web, with no clipping cap and no AI credits to track. Credits cost $7 for one video or $19 for ten.

Where CapCut is stronger

CapCut has a free plan, desktop apps for Windows and Mac, a large template and effects library, and a much deeper timeline editor. Vidulk has no free clipping, no desktop app (the web app runs in desktop browsers), no stock or B-roll library and no team workspace.

Many creators use both: Vidulk to find and cut the clips from a long video, CapCut for heavy editing afterwards. Try the clipping side at vidulk.com/app.

Vidulk's presets and its option to copy a style to every clip keep a series consistent.
