Wave.video review
A web video toolkit that pairs social editing with hosting and live streaming.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Wave.video brings video editing together with hosting, landing pages, social publishing, and live streaming in a web-based platform. Its feature set is aimed at creators, marketers, agencies, and businesses that need to produce and repurpose videos for social networks or other marketing channels. Editing tools cover clips, text, music, effects, transitions, layouts, and templates; users can also add captions and branding, publish directly to social platforms, or download rendered videos on paid plans. This breadth makes it relevant to creators who want video hosting alongside editing, rather than a tool focused only on making clips.
The plan ladder is defined by editing access, video length, and added creation features. Free is available without a time limit and includes a basic editor with a watermark plus 2 million stock assets and templates. Streamer costs $16 per month with annual billing and allows videos and GIFs up to 5 minutes. Creator is $24 per month with annual billing, raises the video limit to 30 minutes, and adds stylish captions, subtitles, and text to speech. Business costs $48 per month with annual billing; it supports videos up to 2 hours and 60fps and adds shared login alongside captions and text to speech. The published pricing page displays annual billing with a 20% discount and monthly-equivalent prices.
The main distinction is the combination of creation and distribution: Wave.video includes video hosting, embedding, landing pages, direct social publishing, and live streaming with recording, as well as social aspect-ratio resizing and AI text-to-video from articles, links, or pasted text. Saved logos, colors, fonts, and text styles support consistent branding across output. That range suits creators who value one web workspace for editing and hosting. It may be a less natural fit for someone who needs longer videos on the entry paid plan, or who wants watermark-free editing without a paid plan; Streamer’s published limit is 5 minutes, while the Free editor includes a watermark.
