Pick Descript if you cut talking-head video by editing its transcript. Pick VEED if you want a browser editor with templates, AI avatars and prices in rupees.

## Side by side

| | Descript | VEED |
|---|---|---|
| Main idea | Edit the transcript to edit the video | Browser editor with templates and AI tools |
| Runs on | Mac and Windows app, plus web sign-in | Browser |
| India | Dollar prices only | Prices shown in rupees |
| Free plan | 720p, watermark, 1 media hour a month | VEED watermark, 720p |
| Paid price | Hobbyist $16, Creator $24, Business $50 a month billed yearly | Creator INR 400, Pro INR 937 per user a month billed yearly |
| Captions | 26 languages, Hindi in Beta | 125+ languages listed. Hindi named for translation |
| Filler words | One click, English transcripts only | Editor page mentions removing silences and filler words |
| Text-based editing | The core feature | Not mentioned on the pages we read |
| AI video | Video and images from prompts, AI avatars | Sora 2, Veo 3.1, Kling AI, avatars |
| Dubbing | Business plan, 30+ languages | AI dubbing and a video translator |

Descript's page shows two numbers per plan without labels, and we read the lower as yearly. VEED's prices are from [its pricing page](https://www.veed.io/pricing), read in a browser from India (checked 3 Nov 2026).

## Three differences that matter

- **Cut by words or by clips.** Descript is built around the transcript. VEED combines editing with AI video generation in one place.
- **Price in your currency.** VEED shows rupees. Descript shows dollars and no India page.
- **Language limits.** Descript's filler-word removal works on English transcripts only. VEED lists 125+ caption languages in its page metadata, so test your Hindi clip on both.

## What each does well

- **Descript:** Studio Sound for clean speech, Underlord AI tools, and a team Brand Studio on Business.
- **VEED:** a brand kit for colours, fonts and logos, a teleprompter, a screen recorder and eye-contact correction.

## Worked example: one editor

Say one person edits your ads for a year, billed yearly.

- Descript Hobbyist: 12 x $16 = $192.
- VEED Creator: 12 x INR 400 = INR 4,800.

We do not convert between the two. Descript Hobbyist gives 10 media hours and 1080p without a watermark. VEED Creator gives 6,000 credits, 1080p and unlimited video length.

## Where Marxx fits

[Marxx's AI video editor](/features/ai-video-editor) also cuts by transcript and removes silences and filler words, in the browser. You can describe an edit in plain words. Plans start at $9 a month at launch prices (checked 3 Nov 2026). We make Marxx.

## FAQ

### Does VEED edit by transcript?

Not on the pages we read, though its editor page mentions removing silences and filler words. Descript is built around transcript editing. See also [Descript vs Kapwing](/compare/descript-vs-kapwing).

### Which has a watermark on the free plan?

Both. Descript's free plan exports at 720p with a watermark. VEED says free-account exports carry a VEED watermark.

### Which captions Hindi better?

The pages we read give no accuracy figures. Both list Hindi, and Descript marks it Beta. Test a clip, then read [how to add captions to video ads](/guides/how-to-add-captions-to-video-ads).
