Marketing has changed its course across industries. Video has become a recurring requirement for many marketing teams.
How does the marketing of a SaaS company look like now? It may need an explainer for a new product, a product demo for sales, five short-form ads for a campaign, onboarding videos for new customers, and customer testimonial clips - all within the same quarter.
Buying each video as a separate project can make budgeting and production difficult to manage.
That's where video production subscriptions come in.
Companies can pay a recurring fee for access to video production capacity instead of starting a new vendor relationship for every video. Depending on the provider, that can mean a dedicated editor, a creative team, production credits, a fixed number of videos, unlimited requests, or a broader creative team covering video and design.
But these services are not interchangeable.
Some companies specialize in video editing. Others provide full-service production. Some focus on animation and SaaS explainers, while others handle live-action filming. And an unlimited subscription does not necessarily mean unlimited finished videos.
It's clear that subscriptions for video production services are better in terms of results and ROI.
We compared 15 video production subscription companies across their production model, services, pricing and target use cases to help you find the right fit.
Quick Comparison: Video Production Subscription Companies

What Is A Video Production Subscription?
A video production subscription is an ongoing arrangement where a company pays a recurring fee for access to video production or creative services.
While the exact arrangement varies by provider, a subscription may give you:
- A dedicated video editor
- A fixed number of production credits
- A certain number of videos per month or year
- A set number of production hours
- Unlimited project requests
- Access to a broader creative team
- Live-action filming
- Animation
- Motion graphics
- Video repurposing
- Strategy and creative direction
Different from traditional video production where you partner with an agency when you need one explainer video, pay $5,000 for it. Now down the line when you need a product demo video, you go over the same process again.
With a subscription, the relationship continues and the production capacity is available on an ongoing basis. The important part is to understand what you are actually subscribing to.
A $1,299/month editing service and a $15,000/month enterprise creative team may both call themselves subscriptions, but they serve very different needs.
The 15 Best Video Production Subscription Companies
1. What a Story
What a Story is a video production company focused specifically on B2B SaaS and AI companies.
Its subscription offering, The Content Engine, is priced at $6,000/month. The current plan includes one active request at a time, approximately three-day draft turnaround, unlimited revisions, full-stack creatives and up to two users. The subscription is broader than video editing alone.
Depending on the requirement, the team can produce:
- Explainer videos
- Product launch videos
- Feature-release videos
- Short-form ads
- Onboarding videos
- User testimonials
- Training videos
- Pitch decks
- Landing pages
- Design assets
- Social media designs
- High-fidelity GIFs
- Marketing collateral
What makes the model different is its industry focus. What a Story states that it works exclusively with B2B SaaS and AI companies, with a team that understands products, APIs, PLG and ARR.
The company also offers one-off video production, so a subscription is not the only engagement model available.
Best for: SaaS, AI and B2B technology companies that need recurring video and creative assets.
Model: Monthly subscription
Price: $6,000/month
Standout feature: SaaS-focused creative team with video and broader marketing asset production.
2. Superside
Superside is one of the broader creative-as-a-service options on this list. In addition to the video, its subscription model includes design, motion graphics and presentation design. That makes it more comparable to an outsourced creative department than a conventional video production agency.
The current offering includes end-to-end video production, including pre-production, filming, editing and post-production, alongside formats such as product videos, explainers, testimonials, social content and animation. Pricing starts around $15,000/month, putting it firmly toward the enterprise end of the market.
Best for: Enterprise marketing teams that need video plus other creative services.
Model: Monthly creative subscription
Starting price: $15,000/month
3. Vidico
Vidico focuses on technology and SaaS video production.
Its subscription and retainer approach is designed for companies that need recurring product and marketing video rather than an isolated project.
Typical requirements can include product explainers, product videos, advertising content and other B2B video assets.
Best for: SaaS and technology companies.
Model: Subscription / retainer
Pricing: Custom
4. Content Beta
Content Beta is particularly relevant to B2B and SaaS companies.
Its subscription offering covers several common technology marketing formats:
- Product demos
- Explainer videos
- Testimonials
- Educational videos
For SaaS companies, the breadth of formats is useful because video requirements often extend beyond a single hero explainer.
Best for: SaaS and B2B technology companies.
Model: Monthly subscription
Pricing: Custom
5. Shootsta
Shootsta takes a different approach from traditional full-service production.
The model combines self-shooting with professional post-production. Your team records footage using the company's production framework, while Shootsta's team handles editing and finishing.
This can make sense for organizations that regularly have people, products or events to film but do not want to build a large internal editing operation.
Its listed annual packages include:
- Kick Starter: 12 videos/year at approximately $1,099/video
- Creator: 24 videos/year at approximately $874.50/video
- Scaler: 36 videos/year at approximately $783/video
Best for: Corporate communications, training and social content at higher volumes.
Model: Annual subscription platform
6. Lemonlight
Lemonlight is more production-heavy than many subscription editing services.
It provides full video production and has a network of cinematographers that can support filming across locations.
Its offering is relevant to companies that need professional live-action content rather than simply turning existing footage into social clips.
Best for: Brands requiring professional live-action production.
Model: Package / project-based
Pricing: Custom
7. Infinite Creatives
Infinite Creatives focuses primarily on video editing rather than complete video production.
Its subscription includes access to a dedicated editor who can work through an ongoing queue of editing requests.
This makes it a different proposition from a production agency that handles scripting, storyboarding, filming and animation from scratch.
Best for: Teams that already have footage and need recurring editing.
Model: Unlimited subscription
Pricing: Custom
8. SoCreative
SoCreative operates through a quarterly credit-based model and a global network of videographers.
The service covers filming, editing and design.
The listed pricing is approximately $4,200 per quarter, or about $1,400/month when averaged across three months.
Best for: Companies that need filming across different locations.
Model: Quarterly credits
Price: ~$4,200/quarter
9. VideoScale
VideoScale focuses on recurring video editing and supporting marketing assets.
Its services include:
- Video editing
- Captions
- Graphics
- Thumbnails
- Video SEO
Plans start at approximately $1,299/month.
This places it among the more accessible options for companies that primarily need post-production rather than complete video production.
Best for: Businesses needing ongoing editing and video marketing support.
Model: Monthly subscription
Starting price: $1,299/month+
10. Wyzowl
Wyzowl uses a monthly credit model.
Rather than promising an unlimited number of videos, the subscription gives customers a defined number of credits that can be used for different video requirements.
Its services include animation, social videos, product demos and testimonials.
A listed plan costs $4,995/month for five credits.
Best for: Companies producing recurring animated and marketing videos.
Model: Monthly credits
Price: $4,995/month for 5 credits
What Should You Look For In A Video Production Subscription?
1. Production model
First, identify whether you're buying:
- Editing
- Animation
- Full production
- Filming
- Creative strategy
- A combination of these
This prevents you from comparing unrelated services.
2. Industry experience
Industry knowledge matters when your videos involve technical products.
For example, SaaS videos often require someone to understand product interfaces, APIs, workflows, integrations, user journeys and technical terminology.
A general video company and a SaaS-specialist video company may approach the same brief very differently.
3. What counts toward your subscription?
Ask whether the following are included:
- Scriptwriting
- Storyboarding
- Voiceover
- Animation
- Editing
- Motion graphics
- Sound design
- Revisions
- Thumbnails
- Short-form versions
- Video repurposing
4. Turnaround time
A subscription only helps if the production speed matches your marketing calendar.
Ask for typical draft and final delivery times.
5. Revision policy
Check:
- Number of revision rounds
- Whether revisions are unlimited
- Whether major changes consume additional credits
- Whether changes to approved stages incur extra fees
6. Dedicated team vs. shared production queue
Some services give you a dedicated editor or creative director.
Others use a shared production team.
Neither is automatically better, but they create different working experiences.
7. Contract terms
Check:
- Minimum commitment
- Cancellation terms
- Pause options
- Renewal terms
- Unused credits
- Carryover rules
8. Ownership and usage rights
Make sure you understand who owns the finished videos, source files, stock assets and other production materials.
This is particularly important when videos will be used across paid advertising, websites, sales presentations and multiple regions.
Subscription Vs. Project-Based Video Production
A subscription isn't automatically better than project-based production.
The right choice depends on production frequency.
If you need one major launch film, hiring a specialist production company for that project may make more sense.
If your marketing calendar contains video every month, a subscription becomes more interesting.
How Much Does Video Production Subscription Cost?
There is no standard price.
The companies in this list range from focused post-production subscriptions around $1,299/month to enterprise creative programs costing $15,000/month or more.
Some providers charge by:
- Month
- Quarter
- Year
- Credit
- Production hour
- Number of videos
- Active requests
For example, What a Story's Content Engine is currently $6,000/month, while Superside's listed subscription starts at $15,000/month. Wyzowl's listed monthly credit plan is $4,995/month for five credits, while VideoScale starts at approximately $1,299/month.
These prices should not be compared in isolation.
The services included at each level are very different.
A $1,299/month editing subscription may require the customer to supply finished footage and scripts.
A $6,000/month full-stack creative subscription may include strategy, scripting, design, animation and several different asset types.
An enterprise subscription may also provide access to a much larger creative operation.
How To Choose Between The Companies On This List
Rather than ranking all 28 companies from "best" to "worst," it is more useful to match them to the type of production you need.
Best for SaaS and AI
What a Story is focused exclusively on B2B SaaS and AI and offers both project-based production and a $6,000/month Content Engine subscription.
Vidico and Content Beta are also worth considering for recurring SaaS video requirements.
Best for enterprise creative services
Superside is the stronger fit when video is only one part of a broader creative requirement.
Best for animation
Wyzowl, and Simpleshow are relevant when animation and explainer content are central to your requirements.
Best for editing
Infinite Creatives and VideoScale make more sense when your team already has footage and needs ongoing post-production.
Best for self-shooting
Shootsta is a good fit when your internal team can record footage but wants professional post-production.
Best for live-action production
Lemonlight is better suited to organizations that require filming as part of their video program.
Final thoughts
Video production subscriptions are not simply a cheaper replacement for traditional video agencies. They are a different way of buying creative capacity.
The model works particularly well when a company has a steady stream of video requirements and wants a predictable relationship with a production partner.
For a SaaS company producing video every month, a specialist subscription can provide a more consistent production process than commissioning every asset independently. For a business that only needs one major film, traditional project-based production may still be the better choice.
The best subscription is therefore not necessarily the one with the lowest monthly price or the word "unlimited" in its headline.
It is the one that matches your production volume, video formats, internal resources and marketing schedule.
