Reelsaw vs quso.ai
quso.ai alternative with no credits to count
quso.ai, formerly vidyo.ai, bundles clipping with a content planner, scheduling to seven platforms and an AI assistant, all metered in credits where one credit is roughly one processed minute. Reelsaw is a narrower, self-hosted tool: it clips, and it does not meter.
Pricing checked 2026-10-18 on each vendor's public page. Vendors change plans without notice; verify before you buy.
What quso.ai costs
A free plan and three paid tiers measured in credits a month, with yearly billing at half price.
The page does not mention watermarks for any plan.
What Reelsaw costs for the same job
The software is free under the AGPL-3.0 and there is no hosted plan to upsell you to. What you pay for is the machine it runs on and, only if you choose cloud models, the per-call price of those models.
Fully local: Ollama for the language model and Speaches (Whisper) for transcription. The installer picks a model by GPU memory or RAM (qwen2.5:14b with 24 GB of RAM or a 12 GB GPU, qwen2.5:7b from 12 GB, gemma3:4b below that), reuses one Ollama already has, and puts both on an NVIDIA GPU when there is one. Nothing leaves the box and there is no per-minute cost at all.
With cloud models: set OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Groq, Deepgram, AssemblyAI or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint as a provider:model string and you pay that vendor's metered price for transcription minutes and a few thousand tokens of selection per video. There is no Reelsaw margin on top.
