KapwingvsEziclipThe free Kapwing alternative — edit video by text, no watermark
Eziclip is a free, in-browser text-based video editor: delete words in the transcript and the matching footage is cut, or strip every filler and pause in one tap. Kapwing's free plan stamps a watermark on every export with no exceptions, caps you at 720p and a handful of short projects a month, uploads your media to the cloud and needs an account — the watermark clears only on Pro from $16/month (annual). Eziclip has no watermark, no project cap and no upload, all on your device.
