Strategic Summary
Supercut and Descript both offer AI-powered video editing but at different scales and price points. Supercut is a focused screen recording tool with automatic silence/filler removal, chapter generation, and team workspaces. Descript is a comprehensive video and podcast editor with text-based editing, multitrack support, screen recording, AI voice cloning, and publishing. Supercut's auto-edit is faster and more automated — record and it's done. Descript gives you full editorial control but requires more hands-on editing. At EUR 13/seat/month, Supercut is cheaper than Descript's $24/month Pro plan, but Descript covers far more use cases.
