Pricing

Self-host for free, or let us host it

The software is AGPL-3.0: install it on your own machine and there is no plan, no meter and no watermark. The hosted service runs the same code on our machines with cloud models, and is priced by minutes of source video a month. Every plan has every feature, including the MCP server for agents.

Hosted at app.reelsaw.com

Prices in USD; tax is added at checkout where it applies. A plan's minutes count the length of the videos you add in the billing period, never per clip; on Free, your first video is free up to 60 minutes. When minutes run out, the app says so and tells you when they reset. Storage counts sources, uploads and rendered clips; delete a project to make room. Plans change on Stripe's portal and are prorated. Limits: Free 20 min, 2 GB, 10 projects; Starter 100 min, 10 GB, 50 projects; Creator 300 min, 30 GB, 200 projects; Pro 750 min, 100 GB, unlimited projects. Same prices as OpenShorts Cloud, so the choice is the pipeline and the licence.

Self-hosted: $0

One command installs it on macOS, Linux or Windows. Fully local models cost nothing per minute; with cloud models you pay the vendor's metered price (roughly $0.02 to $0.04 per minute of video on Haiku-class models and Deepgram) and no Reelsaw margin. Multi-user installs get admin approval, per-user quotas and usage, and an optional watermark for accounts that are not admins. Everything in the hosted service except billing is in the open-source build.
