Are you evaluating Quso (formerly Vydio) and wondering if there’s an alternative that offers more clarity, robust features for business, and greater flexibility? Many users seek solutions that provide transparent value, powerful automation capabilities, and don’t lock essential tools behind higher-priced tiers or opaque credit systems.

Quso offers a range of AI tools. However, potential users and existing customers might look for alternatives due to:
Understanding how many videos or minutes of processing Quso's "credits" truly provide can be difficult, making usage planning and cost prediction challenging.
A lack of clearly offered, user-accessible API on standard plans can be a major roadblock for businesses and developers needing automation and integration
Tools for deep branding control, extensive team collaboration, or specific B2B support might not be prominent or accessible on lower tiers.
The need to jump to higher, more expensive tiers for increased capacity or specific features, without the flexibility of simply adding more processing units
If these considerations resonate with you, Swiftia provides a clear, powerful, and flexible path forward.
Swiftia is built on a foundation of clarity, power, and flexibility. We offer:
Buy additional minutes as needed, without mandatory plan upgrades.
Know exactly what you're getting.
Automation and integration for all paid users.
Plans that grow with you, from solopreneurs to large enterprises.
Let’s dive into how Swiftia’s offerings compare to Quso’s plans.
Both platforms offer a free way to start, but here is where the value proposition starkly diverges.
| Feature | Swiftia Starter ($9/mo) | Quso Lite ($29/mo) | Swiftia's Clear Advantage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly Price | $9.00 | $29.00 ($24 if paid annually) | ✅ Massively More Affordable |
| Processing Allowance | 300 Clear Minutes | "Credits" (volume unclear) | ✅ Transparent & Predictable Volume |
| Output Resolution | 1080p Full HD | 1080p Full HD | ✅ Parity |
| Cost Per Hour (Swiftia) | $1.80 | (N/A due to credit system) | ✅ Demonstrably Low Processing Cost |
| API Access & Mgmt | Yes (1 API Key, User Managed) | Not Mentioned | ✅ Included for Automation |
| Branding/Overlay | Yes (Full Custom Branding) | (Brand Kit on $49 Growth plan) | ✅ Included (Huge value vs. Quso) |
| Custom Aspect Ratio | Yes | AI Video Resizing | Likely Comparable |
| AI B-Roll | Yes | (Part of "10+ AI Tools" higher up) | ✅ Included Feature |
| Filler Word Removal | Yes | (On $39 Essential plan) | ✅ Included Feature |
| Team Member Seat | Yes (1 Team Member) | Not Mentioned | ✅ Included for Collaboration |
| Buy Extra Minutes | Yes, Add Minutes Anytime | Not Mentioned | ✅ Ultimate Flexibility |
Massive Price Difference: For just $9 a month, Swiftia’s Starter plan is dramatically more affordable than QuSo’s $29 Lite plan.
More Processing Power for Less: Swiftia gives you 300 minutes compared to QuSo Lite’s 225 minutes. That’s 33% more video processing for over 68% less cost!
Astounding Cost-Effectiveness: This translates to a cost of just 0.03$ per minute ( 1.80 per hour) with Swiftia, versus approximately 0.13$ per minute ( 7.78 per hour) with QuSo Lite.
The API Game-Changer (QuSo Has None): This is where Swiftia leaves QuSo far behind. Our $9 Starter plan includes direct API access. QuSo offers no API at any price point, making it unsuitable for users needing automation, integration, or scalable video workflows.
Superior Captioning: Swiftia guarantees 97%+ accuracy in over 90 languages, a specific mark of quality QuSo doesn’t detail.
While QuSo Lite provides 1080p at $29, Swiftia’s $9 plan delivers far superior overall value with more minutes, a drastically lower cost, and the indispensable API access that QuSo completely lacks. For users focused on efficient, high-volume, automatable video repurposing with professional branding, Swiftia is the undeniable choice.
As your needs grow, the differences become even more pronounced, especially given QuSo’s absence of an API.
These plans add more AI tools (like AI Writer, Content Planner), native social scheduling, and increase minute/credit allowances (Essential: 360 mins, Growth: 600 mins). The “Growth” plan also adds features like Advanced AI Analytics and Custom Templates. However, the critical lack of API persists across all QuSo plans.
Swiftia’s approach ensures that as you scale, your ability to automate and integrate scales with you, alongside generous minute allowances and features:
Swiftia Starter ($9/mo): Already provides 300 minutes, key editing features, branding, AND 1 API Key.
Swiftia Professional ($48/mo): Explodes your capacity with 1800 minutes, 1080p resolution, 12 API Keys, 3 Team Seats, Advanced Analytics (including our Virality Score™), and 30-day storage. This plan offers immense processing power and automation capabilities for less than QuSo’s top-tier “Growth” plan, which still lacks an API.
If you need to process a significant volume of video, require 1080p, or plan to leverage automation deeply, Swiftia’s Professional plan offers unparalleled power and value that QuSo simply cannot match due to its fundamental lack of API.
Committing to an annual plan with Swiftia significantly boosts your savings and processing capacity, further widening the value gap with QuSo.
Swiftia Starter Yearly: 102/year for 3600 minutes (1.70/hour), includes 1 API Key & all Starter features.
QuSo Lite Yearly: 288/year for 225 minutes/month x 12 = 2700 minutes (~$6.40/hour), NO API.
The Swiftia Annual Advantage: You pay almost 65% less with Swiftia annually, get 900 more minutes (33% more), and crucially, you get API access, which QuSo doesn’t offer at all.
Scaling to Swiftia’s Professional Yearly plan ($540/year for 21,600 minutes at $1.50/hour with 12 API keys) offers even more dramatic savings and capabilities compared to attempting to match that volume or automation potential with QuSo (which isn’t possible without an API).
This is a fundamental differentiator.
This means all tasks must be performed manually within their platform, severely limiting scalability, integration possibilities, and efficiency for businesses with growing needs.
API access with dedicated keys is standard with every paid plan, starting at just $9/month. This opens the door to:
Seamless integration into your existing applications.
Large-scale automated video creation and repurposing.
Building custom video tools and workflows.
Unprecedented efficiency gains.
If automation, custom integration, or handling video processing at any significant scale is part of your strategy, Swiftia is the only viable choice between the two.
Beyond the direct comparisons on price, minutes, and the critical API, Swiftia is engineered with a comprehensive suite of advanced features:
Smart scene detection, speaker identification, and auto-reframing.
Understand performance and predict engagement.
Content-aware resizing and highly accurate transcripts for easy repurposing into text formats.
Collaborative project management, real-time previews.
Expert guidance, strategic consulting, and personalized onboarding.
Swiftia provides a fundamentally more advanced, feature-rich platform to elevate your entire video marketing ecosystem.
Swiftia’s unique strengths make it the ideal choice for:
Utilize API, team seats, and upcoming native scheduling (currently achievable via API + n8n/Make) to streamline client work and internal processes.
Get significantly more processing minutes for your money with transparent, cost-effective plans. If you felt QuSo's credits didn't stretch far enough, Swiftia delivers.
Leverage our industry-leading 97%+ accurate captions in 90+ languages to maximize your international reach – a level of precision not detailed by QuSo.
The INCLUDED API from $9/month is a game-changer that QuSo completely lacks, enabling seamless integration and scalable video workflows.
If you've hit a wall with manual processes in QuSo or similar platforms, Swiftia provides the automation gateway.
If your goal is efficient, scalable, high-quality video repurposing with the option for powerful automation, Swiftia is unequivocally built for you.
Considering the switch from QuSo, you might have questions about specific workflow elements like social media scheduling.
Direct in-app scheduling is coming soon to Swiftia.
Many Swiftia users already automate scheduling and multi-platform publishing using our robust API with tools like n8n and Make.com. This offers incredible flexibility now – something impossible with QuSo due to its lack of API.
QuSo lists various AI tools like an "AI Video Generator" and "AI Writer." Swiftia maintains a laser focus on being the best-in-class AI video repurposing and editing engine, with features like superior captioning and the upcoming Virality Score™, ensuring the core task is done exceptionally well. For broader AI content generation, Swiftia can be a powerful part of your toolkit, feeding perfectly repurposed video content into other specialized AI writers or planners.
Swiftia provides a powerful core engine with unmatched automation potential via its API, allowing you to build the exact workflows you need.
You came here because QuSo (Vydio) wasn’t fully meeting your needs – perhaps due to its lack of automation, unclear value, or limitations as you try to scale. The evidence is overwhelming: Swiftia is not just an alternative; it’s a vastly superior platform for value, power, and future-proofing your video strategy.
Swiftia offers robust API access starting at $9/month. QuSo offers NO API at any price. This is fundamental for automation and scalability.
Get more processing minutes (e.g., 300 Swiftia mins for $9 vs. 225 QuSo mins for $29) at a fraction of the cost per minute.
Clear minute-based plans, not abstract credits.
97%+ accuracy in 90+ languages.
With scalable plans, more API keys at higher tiers, and dedicated B2B support.
Making the switch to Swiftia is an investment in efficiency, scalability, and superior quality.

A: API access allows you to automate video processing, integrate Swiftia with other software, build custom workflows, and scale content creation far beyond what’s possible with a manual-only platform like QuSo. It’s essential for businesses and serious creators. Swiftia includes it from $9; QuSo doesn’t offer it at all. See the Full $9 Plan Showdown Again
A: QuSo’s free plan is generous for very light, occasional use. However, Swiftia’s free trial is designed to let you test the full power and features of our paid plans. Once you move to any Swiftia paid plan (starting $9 for 300 minutes), there’s no Swiftia watermark, and the value in terms of minutes per dollar and included features like API vastly outweighs QuSo’s paid offerings.
A: Swiftia’s Professional plan offers 1800 minutes for $48 (along with 1080p and 12 API keys). That’s three times the minutes for virtually the same price as QuSo’s Growth plan, plus you get far more robust API capabilities, as QuSo has none.
A: Native scheduling is on Swiftia’s roadmap. Currently, our powerful API allows users to easily integrate with tools like n8n or Make.com for custom, automated scheduling – a level of flexibility not possible with QuSo.
A: Swiftia focuses on being the absolute best at AI-powered video repurposing, editing, and captioning, delivering exceptional quality in these core areas. Our highly accurate transcripts are perfect for feeding into your preferred AI writing or planning tools, allowing you to use best-in-class solutions for each part of your workflow.
A: Not at all! Swiftia has an intuitive interface, and our free trial lets you explore its capabilities risk-free. We also offer support to help you get started.
