StoryCut vs Quso: the short answer

Verdict

Both find the best moments of a long video, score them, reframe them to 9:16 and add captions.

Pick StoryCut to clip more video for less (10 hours for $19/mo, against 600 minutes for $49/mo on Quso Growth), for Kick links and a gaming facecam layout, for 2K and 4K exports, and for edit styles, sound effects, eye contact correction and an API.

Pick Quso to schedule clips to 12 social networks with a content planner and analytics.

Price of 10 hours of video
StoryCut Pro: $19/mo for 10 hours, or $14/mo billed yearly. Quso Growth (600 credits, 1 credit = 1 minute) is $49/mo, and yearly billing costs the same per month ($588 a year). Quso Lite gives 100 minutes for $29/mo; StoryCut Starter gives 3 hours for $9/mo.
Links you can paste

StoryCut takes a YouTube link, a Twitch or Kick past broadcast, a Google Drive or Dropbox link, or an upload, on every plan, free included. A run takes up to 150 minutes of a video (30 on Free), from any part of a longer one.

Quso takes YouTube, Twitch, Vimeo, Zoom, Loom, Google Drive, Dropbox, X, Facebook, LinkedIn and Rumble links, and uploads; not Kick.

What every clip gets

StoryCut returns 3 to 12 vertical clips a video, each with a 0 to 100 virality score, framing that follows the speaker (a split screen for two people, the facecam on top of the game for streams), captions in your style and a headline on its first seconds.

Quso makes 4 to 60 clips a video depending on its length, with a virality score out of 100 and CutMagic reframing (9 layouts, including screen and speaker) on paid plans, captions in 99 languages and a headline on the first 5 seconds.

Your style on every clip

On StoryCut Pro, one of 18 edit styles adds zooms, sound effects on key words and one music track to every clip of a run, and B-roll to the 3 best; eye contact correction covers 10 videos a month.

In Quso you add B-roll from a stock search, music, sound effects and zooms by hand, and Essential and Growth remove filler words and silences. We found no eye contact correction.

StoryCut

Web app • AI clips and a full editor

StoryCut is an AI clip maker for long videos.

Which should you choose?

Both make real AI clips, with a score and speaker framing. The difference is the price of the minutes you clip, and whether you need the posting side.

Pick StoryCut if you clip hours of video a month, from podcasts, YouTube videos or Twitch and Kick streams: 10 hours cost $19/mo on Pro, gaming streams get the facecam over the game, exports go up to 4K, and your edit style, sound effects and eye contact correction finish every clip.

Pick Quso if posting is the job: it schedules to 12 networks from one calendar, with a content planner and analytics, and its free plan gives 75 minutes a month to try it.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Quso the same as vidyo.ai?

Yes. Vidyo.ai became quso.ai in January 2025: logins, plans and projects carried over, and vidyo.ai addresses now redirect to quso.ai. The company behind it is Vidyoai Internet Ventures, Inc., in New York.

How much does Quso cost in 2026?

Quso Lite is $29/mo for 100 credits a month, Essential $39/mo for 300 and Growth $49/mo for 600, at US list prices. One credit is one minute of imported video. Yearly billing is 12 times the monthly price ($348, $468 and $588 a year) and gives the year’s credits up front (checked on November 10, 2026).

Is Quso free?

Yes: the free plan gives 75 credits (minutes) a month, exports 720p with a quso.ai watermark, posts to TikTok only, and deletes projects after 7 days. StoryCut’s free plan turns 1 long video a month into AI clips (any 30 minutes of it) in 720p with a watermark.

Which is cheaper, StoryCut or Quso?

StoryCut. 3 hours of video cost $9/mo on StoryCut Starter, while Quso Lite gives 100 minutes for $29/mo; 10 hours cost $19/mo on StoryCut Pro, against $49/mo for 600 minutes on Quso Growth. StoryCut’s yearly billing also lowers the price; Quso’s doesn’t.

Can Quso clip Twitch or Kick streams?

Quso takes Twitch past broadcasts and clips, but not Kick links, and its help center calls gaming videos “not recommended”. StoryCut takes both, finds the facecam and stacks it over the gameplay, from any part of a long stream.

Does Quso export in 4K?

No: Quso’s help center says no plan exports in 4K, and paid plans go up to 1080p. StoryCut exports 1080p on Starter, 2K on Pro and 4K 60fps on Business.

Does Quso post to social media? Does StoryCut?

Quso’s Essential and Growth plans schedule to 12 networks, and Free and Lite post to TikTok. StoryCut’s publishing to YouTube and TikTok is coming soon; for now you download each clip and post it.
