MakeRoll vs Vizard
The honest Vizard alternative.
Vizard sells “free to use” with a free tier capped at 720p, watermarked, 10-minute exports and 3-day storage, and a paid library that is kept for 28 days once the subscription expires. MakeRoll runs the same credits-equal-minutes model at roughly half the price, with no watermark on any paid plan and a real editor rather than a safety net around the AI.

|---|---|---|
| Cheapest paid plan | €15/mo · 600 min | $29/mo · 600 min |
| Price per source minute | €0.025 | ~$0.05 |
| Free plan | 1 video up to 1 hr / mo, full AI + editor, 720p, kept 7 days | 60 min/mo, 720p, watermarked, 3-day storage |
| Watermark on paid plans | Never, on any paid plan | No |
| Your files if you cancel | Kept a week after you cancel; anything you exported is yours for good | Kept 28 days after the subscription expires |

Why people switch
Editing that goes deeper than presets
Vizard’s editor is a safety net around its AI. MakeRoll is an editor first: edit by transcript with ripple cuts, frame-quantized timeline, captions that follow every word, and the export is pixel-identical to the preview.
The same minutes, roughly half the price
Vizard Creator is $29/month for 600 minutes. MakeRoll Creator is €15 for the same 600 minutes, with no per-seat surcharges and no credit sliders.
Your footage isn’t training data
Transcription and scene detection run on our own GPUs, so your sources are never handed to an outside model provider and nothing you upload is used to train one. The landing page you’re reading doesn’t ship third-party ad-tech SDKs either.
Where Vizard is ahead
MakeRoll publishes and bulk-schedules to TikTok and YouTube today. Vizard still has more distribution machinery: caption translation, AI B-roll, a public API and more posting destinations. If translation or an API is your bottleneck, it has more of that right now.
