reap

Reap is an AI video editor for turning long spoken videos into clips, captions, and translated versions. It suits creators and teams repurposing interviews, podcasts, webinars, and similar material. Its generous range of spoken-video tools is balanced by tight free limits and annual billing on its lowest paid price.

Overview

Reap brings clipping, captioning, dubbing, and transcript-based editing into one workflow. Its focus is spoken content: it is a stronger fit for interviews, lectures, and podcasts than for projects centered on visual effects or non-spoken footage.

Key features

Clips and captions

Reap analyzes faces, vocal tone, pauses, and pacing to find moments for social clips. That approach is well matched to long recordings with a clear speaker, though the stated focus does not make it a general-purpose editor for every kind of footage. More than 50 animated caption presets and support for 100+ languages, including romanized scripts, give creators options for presentation and reach.

Editing, dubbing, and publishing

Transcript-based editing lets users change the video by changing its text, a useful shortcut when refining spoken material. Paid plans add AI dubbing in 80+ languages, subject to monthly limits. The social publisher connects TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, LinkedIn, Facebook, and X, though supported destinations vary by plan.

REST API, CLI, and MCP access, along with stated compatibility with n8n, Zapier, and Make, make Reap relevant to teams building repeatable workflows. Imports include YouTube, Twitch, Twitter/X, and Vimeo. Uploads are capped at 5 GB on Free and 10 GB on Creator and Studio.

Pricing

Reap has a free plan and a free trial. Creator starts at $9.99 a month, billed $119.88 annually; monthly billing costs more. Studio is $29 a month, billed $348 annually, with higher-priced monthly billing also available. The annual totals matter if you want the advertised monthly rates. Enterprise has custom pricing.

Free is substantially constrained by its one-hour monthly quota, watermark, 720p ceiling, and seven-day project expiry. Creator removes the watermark and raises the quotas, but limits use to one seat and two dubbing hours per month. Studio increases those allowances and adds team seats, 4K exports, and faster processing. Enterprise is the route for custom volumes and SSO.

Platforms

Reap supports web, API, Android, and iOS. It runs in a mobile browser; native iOS and Android apps are launching in Q3 2026. That makes mobile-browser access useful now, but readers seeking a native app should account for the stated launch timing.

Who it's for

Reap is best suited to creators, publishers, and teams turning talking-head videos, podcasts, interviews, webinars, lectures, and other long-form spoken content into social clips or translated versions. It is less compelling for users who need an unrestricted free tier, longer-lived free projects, or more dubbing time without moving to a higher plan.
