The purchase page lists three paid options, with prices in euros including VAT. Video Editor is a one-month subscription at 18,95 € a month; the page also shows a 20 % first-month offer of 14,95 €, then 18,95 € a month after the first month. Video Editor Plus is 55,95 € for a one-year subscription, and Video Suite Plus is 75,95 € for a one-year subscription.
The page says all three have no watermark, no cap on video or audio length, and free minor and major updates during the subscription period. A free version exists, but the page says its exports carry a watermark, are limited to 60 seconds and cannot be exported in 4K. Movavi Effects and Movavi Templates are separate optional subscriptions, and the page offers seven days of free access to Effects. Plans change, so check the live price on their site before you buy.
Movavi’s pricing page, as we read it
What Movavi does
Desktop video editor with one-click AI subtitles, background removal, noise reduction and screen recording, sold as a monthly or yearly subscription.
Yearly Plus costs about three months of the monthly plan
Video Editor Plus at 55,95 € for a year is about three months of the 18,95 € monthly plan, so the yearly plan pays off if you edit for more than three months. The page lists three bundled effects packs with Plus. Video Suite Plus adds to that, but we did not establish which extra programs it includes, so check the product list on the purchase page before choosing it.
How to actually use Movavi
Download Video Editor from movavi.com and open it with the free version to try the tools. Add your clips with Add Files, drag them onto the timeline, and place a second clip above the first if you want an overlay (Tools > Position adjusts its size and place). When you are happy, open the export settings and press Start. The free version puts a watermark on the export and stops at 60 seconds, so buy a plan before you export for real. We did not install the program ourselves.
Distilled from Movavi's own purchase page, trial-limitations page, refund policy, cancellation guide and overlay tutorial, read on 9 November 2026 with research prepared in October 2026. Movavi is an affiliate partner of ours through CJ. We have not used the software ourselves.
The natural comparison is Filmora: Filmora is not in our directory as a reviewed tool, so we have no direct comparison. Compare the first-year price with the free version of each and test the watermark limit on a short clip.
