Cutora AI is an AI-first video editor for one job: raw footage of a person talking to camera goes in, and an edited video comes out, with the cuts, captions and other stages applied for you to review. Reelify is a web app that turns a raw take, a voice recording or a script into a captioned vertical video. We make Cutora, so every fact about Reelify below comes from its own pages, read on 4 November 2026, with a link to the page.
How are Cutora and Reelify different?
- Same job, different shapes: both remove long pauses, false starts and retakes and add word-by-word captions, and both have a chat. Reelify also builds scenes from a brand kit and a script; Cutora works on footage you recorded of a person talking to camera.
- Output: Reelify's page states vertical 1080×1920 MP4 output. Cutora exports vertical (1080×1920) or horizontal (1920×1080) MP4.
- Languages: Reelify states English and Egyptian Arabic. Cutora's English captions work today and Arabic captions are in Beta.
- Watermark: Reelify states no watermark on any plan. Cutora's trial exports carry a small Cutora mark.
