About Filmora: AI Video Editor&Maker

Filmora is Wondershare's phone version of its desktop editor, and it keeps the desktop shape: a real multi-track timeline with separate lanes for music, text, stickers and effects, plus auto captions, AI voices and image-to-video generation. Editing is free to try. Getting a clean export and the AI tools means passing three separate paywalls — a subscription, credit packs and a watermark removal.

Filmora Review: A Real Timeline, Behind Three Paywalls

Multi-Track Editing, Not a Template Filler

The timeline is the reason to choose this over the simpler phone editors: video, music, text, sticker and effect layers stack as separate tracks, each trimmable against the same playhead, with keyframes and transitions between clips. Auto captions transcribe speech into styled subtitles that can be edited word by word, and an AI audio panel generates narration in a chosen voice from typed text. Templates exist for people who want a finished look in one tap, but the app does not force them on you the way its rivals do.

Pro at $9.99, Credits and a $4.99 Watermark

Three charges sit on top of each other. Filmora Pro costs $9.99 a month or $45.99 a year, with a cross-platform version at $21.99 and $69.99. AI features run on credits sold separately — $8.99 for an advanced pack, $15.99 for a professional one — so a subscription does not include unlimited generation. And removing the logo from exports is its own $4.99 purchase, listed as Remove Logo Roll. A cloud storage tier at $3.99 completes the set. Prices are US listings and change with promotions. Cloud storage at $3.99 a month is offered separately again, so the full stack of charges is four items rather than one subscription.

4.0 on Google Play, 4.7 on the App Store

The seven-tenths gap between stores is the widest of any tool in this catalogue, and the Android sample is far bigger: 1.17 million reviews against 89,000 on Apple's side. The install is heavy for a phone editor, which is part of the explanation — rendering AI effects on mid-range Android hardware is where the complaints concentrate. On data, Apple's card states usage and diagnostic information tracks users across other companies' apps, while purchase history is linked to the account for analytics. The Android listing was last updated on 4 September 2026, so the complaints are about current builds rather than an abandoned app.

Verdict

One of the few phone editors that respects a timeline instead of forcing templates, and the captions and AI voice tools genuinely save time. Price it honestly before starting: $9.99 a month, plus credits for the AI features, plus $4.99 to remove the watermark, is three charges for what looks like one product. Check the Android reviews if that is your platform — the 4.0 rating there is not an accident.

Frequently asked questions

Is Filmora free to use?

You can edit and export without paying, but exports carry a watermark and the AI tools are limited. Removing the logo is a $4.99 purchase, the Pro subscription starts at $9.99 a month, and AI generation runs on credit packs sold separately from both.

What can the AI tools do?

Auto captions transcribe speech into styled, editable subtitles; AI audio reads typed text in a chosen voice with adjustable tone; and image-to-video turns a still photo into a short animated clip from a text description. All three consume credits rather than being included in the subscription.

How much does Filmora Pro cost?

$9.99 a month or $45.99 a year for the mobile app, with an all-platform plan at $21.99 and $69.99 that covers the desktop version too. Add $8.99 or $15.99 for AI credit packs, $4.99 to remove the watermark, and $3.99 for cloud storage.

Do exports keep the watermark forever?

Only until the removal is bought or a subscription covers it. Videos already exported with the logo keep it — the purchase applies to new exports rather than retroactively cleaning old files, so it is worth deciding before publishing a first video rather than after.

What are the alternatives?

CapCut offers a comparable timeline free of charge with its own export limits and ByteDance's data practices. Apple's iMovie is free on iPhones and simpler. This one earns its place when you need multi-track work and captions on a phone without moving to a desktop.
