InShot review

InShot is the friendliest all-rounder for people who edit a few clips a week and also want photo and collage tools. The App Store listing covers auto captions, bilingual subtitles, AI text to speech, and an AI Cut feature that removes silences, filler words and breath sounds. Editing tools include speed from 0.1x to 100x with curves, keyframes, chroma key, picture in picture, stabilization and smart tracking for text and stickers. The photo side adds AI object removal and a collage maker for up to 20 photos. Pricing is the lowest on this list for a full upgrade: InShot Pro costs $4.99 per month, $19.99 per year or $49.99 for life in the US store. The free version carries ads, and some transition and filter packs are separate purchases, which adds friction. It also runs on iOS 15, so it is a good fit for older iPhones.
