What VidChops customers actually report
No Trustpilot profile (confirmed 404) and BBB still shows 0 reviews. No public Google Business Profile star reviews surfaced. Genuine third-party reviews found on VirtualAssistantAssistant.com (user-submitted, with star ratings) and on Yelp (mirrored via Yahoo Local, with names/dates/star ratings). Yelp negative reviews are truncated on the accessible listing, so quotes use the verbatim opening portions only. Self-hosted testimonials on vidchops.com were excluded.
“Unlike most video editors I've hired in the past these guys are really talented. I can tell they really train up their editors. They are prompt to get back to me and have helped me grow my business.”
“They bill their unlimited plan as 'unlimited' but on their very own website they hide away in FAQs that it is at most 8-12 videos per month and a 48 hour turnaround time per video.”
“This company failed to deliver on multiple occasions so I requested they cancel my service.”
“I used and paid for this company for 4 months. I stayed that long hoping the editor would catch on.”
“I have done paid video work for years and my own YT channel for a long time and needed some help.”
What you’re really getting with VidChops
VidChops is one of the longest-running productized video editing subscriptions, built around pairing you with a dedicated editor who learns your style over time. The entry plan costs $495/mo and works on a credit system: you get 4 editing credits per month, and because a single credit can cover multiple short vertical clips, the company positions the plan as stretching to roughly 16 shorts if you spend every credit on short-form.
The workflow is upload-and-wait: you send raw footage and a brief, your editor cuts it, and finished files come back in 1-2 business days. VidChops backs the service with a money-back guarantee, which lowers the risk of trying it. The service grew up around YouTube creators, and that is still where it fits best: channels with a steady stream of raw footage that need reliable, recurring editing from someone who knows their content.
For a small business that mainly wants a monthly batch of TikToks, Reels and Shorts produced and published, the fit is less natural. Credits are a volume abstraction you have to manage, and everything VidChops delivers still needs to be scheduled and posted by you.
The two things to scrutinize before buying are scope and math. On scope, VidChops' plans do not include custom motion graphics or voiceovers, so if your shorts need branded animated elements beyond standard editing, you will hit the ceiling of what a credit buys. And the service ends at file delivery: no scheduling, no posting, no hashtags research on your channels.
On math, $495/mo is real money for a small business. The roughly-16-shorts figure assumes you use every credit on batches of vertical clips; use a credit on a single longer edit and your effective per-video cost jumps sharply. Feedbird's entry plan delivers 5 fully edited, captioned and scored shorts, posted to your channels, for $149/mo, and scales to 25 videos for $549 (about $22 each). Unless you specifically need a dedicated named editor for YouTube work, the credit system costs more and does less of the job.
VidChops is a solid pick for YouTube creators with steady editing volume, but at $495/mo against Feedbird's $149/mo for 5 posted-for-you shorts, most small businesses pay over 3x more and still post everything themselves.
VidChops is a fair pick for creators with steady footage who just need the editing handled.
We'd genuinely point you their way if that's you. Where teams switch to Feedbird is when they want custom, on-brand work they approve first, a flat published price, and the freedom to cancel any month, without chasing a rep to do it.

What changed when small business owners handed social to a team that actually owns it.
"Feedbird creates social media content that's better and more affordable than what we can produce in-house. Went from 6 hours per client to just the 15 minutes needed for review and approval."
"It takes the socials off my hands but still gives me control over the end result given their review process. The onboarding was extremely thorough, there were very few edits required."
"Immigration law isn't exactly known for visually exciting content, but Feedbird proved that wrong. Every post is creative, on-brand, and actually looks good."
"We've been working with Feedbird for a few years now and we continue to be very pleased. They have different creators so things don't get stale."
"Feedbird is hands down the best decision I've made for my business in years. They've completely transformed my social media presence."
"Outstanding content with expert advice. Very happy! The process is easy to follow and I especially appreciate their carousel post add-on."
"I've tried many companies in the past 5 years and none was able to provide the value we get from Feedbird. The content is very relevant even though our industry is niche and technical."
"We used to spend $500 a month for the same service with a different company, so I'm so glad Feedbird exists since they charge only a quarter of that."
"Feedbird has been a total game-changer for my business. They make social media posting effortless and consistent, saving me hours every week."
