Prices carry the date we read them. UNKNOWN means we couldn’t verify — never a guess. Roles: methodology.
CHALLENGER. $8M ARR, 1M+ users [3P]; moat filed as distribution — 30% lifetime affiliate commission plus the biggest SEO footprint on the board: 21,264 sitemap pages [OBS]. Entry price $12/mo billed yearly [OBS]. [OBS] 2026-07-10: homepage banner logged — "Submagic API is live! Automate your video editing workflow." As of 07-16 no standalone API price tier has been observed on the pricing page; API access appears only as per-plan minute allowances (10 min/mo at entry). Second battlefield opened, price undisclosed. [OBS: runs a 30% affiliate program]

FRONTRUNNER. $20M ARR (2025), 10M users, $50M raised [3P]; the benchmark board — competitor comparison pages in this field are titled against it. Entry plan on the books at $14/mo [OBS]. [OBS] 2026-07-11: sitemap +290 pages in one reading, nearly all German-locale /de-de/mcp/inspiration pages (7,184 → 7,474); on 2026-07-16 the tape logged −285/+10 — the German batch withdrawn, 10 English /mcp/inspiration pages shipped instead (7,199). A localization push tested and pulled inside five days.

CHALLENGER+REBRAND. Ex-Vidyo.ai; 4M users claimed pre-rename [3P, medium confidence]. Highest entry price on the board at $19/mo; steadiest content cadence — sitemap +1 blog page most days on the tape [OBS]. [OBS] 2026-07-11: homepage added "Vidyo.ai is now quso.ai", the pricing page added "Coming from Vidyo.ai? Your plan and pricing are unchanged", and a /vidyo-ai page entered the sitemap — a rebrand-reassurance push logged well after the rename itself. On 07-02 it also pruned 56 "alternatives" comparison pages [OBS].

BOOTSTRAPPER. Two named builders on the pricing footer ("Made with ♥ by @theo and @victor") and a self-reported counter of 8.5M clips made by 3.5M creators [OBS, FDR claim]; no funding record found (desk's own search record; roster entry, medium confidence). Three plans filed: 100 clips at $14/mo up to 1,000 clips at $94/mo, billed yearly [OBS]. [OBS] Against a $14 baseline (through 07-10), the tape logged $39 on 07-11, $14 on 07-12 through 07-15, and $39 again on 07-16 as the pricing page alternated between two render states; carried as a price test or render variance [INF], not a confirmed repricing. [OBS: runs a 20% affiliate program]

SPECIALIST. B2B-leaning: webinars and podcasts to clips, per its own homepage [FDR] — it does not contest the general creator pool. Cheapest entry plan in the field at $5/mo, 25% affiliate [OBS]. [OBS] 2026-07-07: pricing page dropped "Videos stored forever" and "Custom fonts" and added metered storage lines (15GB base, 50GB, unlimited by tier) — a quiet storage repackaging. Homepage also alternates between a marketer pitch and a creator pitch across July readings [OBS]; logged as an A/B test [INF]. [OBS: runs a 25% affiliate program]

LONGSHOT. Indie; traction UNKNOWN; single low-confidence source on file. Free tier at $0, paid entry $14/mo [OBS]. [OBS] 2026-07-02: sitemap went from 0 readable pages to 753 in one reading, including /alternatives/ pages naming OpusClip, Submagic, Vizard, CapCut, Veed and Vidyo — the full comparison-page playbook filed at once. [OBS] A 'We've just launched 1-Click Posting & Scheduling' banner has sat on the pricing page since at least the 06-30 baseline; the 07-09/07-10 log entries are render-state flips, not a new launch. Homepage testimonial carousel rotates daily; logged as noise.

No board in this track has drawn a tombstone yet. The nearest grave sits one field over: AvatarAI (r015, AI headshots track), launched ~2022-11, folded into its own maker's PhotoAI around 2025 after roughly 28 months on the books — same-owner overlapping sites consolidated rather than died fighting [3P]. Warning carried forward: in crowded AI-tool fields the first exits tend to be quiet mergers, not shutdowns — watch this six-board field for consolidation before failure.
