SendShort cuts a long video down into shorts. GhostShorts builds a short from a script when there is no long video to cut. Pick based on what is sitting on your hard drive right now.
Pick SendShort if you record things. Podcasts, streams, talking-head uploads, webinars. Its whole design assumes you arrive with a long file and want the good ninety seconds pulled out of it, captioned, and translated. Its Starter plan is also cheaper than ours.
Pick GhostShorts if you record nothing. There is no upload step, because the video does not exist yet. You write or generate a script, choose a format, and the finished vertical video comes out the other end. That is a different job, not a cheaper version of the same one.

The most common reason people land here is that they want a faceless channel and have never filmed anything. There is nothing to clip. GhostShorts starts at the script and produces the finished file.
A Reddit post read over gameplay. A fake argument in iMessage. A split screen with Subway Surfers underneath. These are specific layouts built as templates, which is different from a tool that generates faceless video in the abstract.
One click puts your captions into more than thirty languages. GhostShorts does not do this at all. For anyone taking a single video to several markets, this is a real reason to choose SendShort.
Their Starter is $15 a month billed yearly against our Starter at $16.66, and they have a free tier with no card required. The difference is not large, but it is in their favour and it is worth saying so plainly.
