Recast vs Video to Blog
Video to Blog does one job and does it well. Recast does that job and keeps going — the card, the queue and the publishing sit in the same workspace on the same brand kit.
If turning videos into articles is the whole job, they are a focused, mature tool and the cheaper entry. If the article is one of several things you need from the same recording, a single workspace stops you paying for four subscriptions that cannot talk to each other.
Five tools, not one
The article is where they stop and where we carry on. The same recording gives you the headline card at every social ratio, the story goes into a queue with everything else, and one brand kit governs all of it.
Pictures from your own footage
Stills are pulled from the video at points spread through it, plus the thumbnail. No stock library, no generated image of something that never happened.
A second brand costs nothing extra
Workspaces are separate by construction — own kit, own sources, own queue, own destinations. Agency has no cap on them.

Which one is right for you
Video to Blog if the job really is video in, article out, and nothing after it — they are cheaper at entry and longer established. Recast if the article is one of several things you need from the same recording, or if you run more than one brand.

Recast vs Video to Blog, answered.
They are, at the entry point: $14/mo against our $19/mo (both read from the live pricing pages on 16 August 2026). Whether that stays true depends on how many other tools you are paying for alongside — the comparison stops being like-for-like the moment a card designer or a scheduler is in your stack.
Yes. Both accept a pasted transcript when a video has none, which is the common case for anything not on YouTube.
Both export clean HTML and Markdown, and both publish into the same CMS platforms, so nothing you make is trapped in either.
