# Best AI video editing apps for iPhone

> The iPhone has the most apps that cut a talking video for you. CutUGC removes retakes and dead air today, BlitzCut removes dead air and captions, and SlapCut cuts while you film. ClipEasy, coming soon, adds the rest in one app: captions, audio cleanup, a tighter opening, a voice-following teleprompter and 10 videos at once.

Reviewed 8 November 2026. Prices from each app's own pricing page on that date. ClipEasy is made by us, Socialynx Media Inc., and is not released yet. We say so wherever it appears on this page. Every other tool was assessed from its own website and pricing page on the reviewed date; none of them paid to be here and none of the links are affiliate links.

## How we chose

- Automates the cut, the captions or both
- Edits footage you filmed rather than generating video
- Free tier or trial on the App Store

We read each tool's own website, pricing page and app store listing on the reviewed date and tested the free tiers where there was one. We did not run a timed head-to-head, so treat the order as a fit ranking for the use in the title, not a measured benchmark.
