Filmora earns its long run as the default pick for creators graduating from phone apps: a genuinely easy timeline, 2.9 million-plus stock assets in Filmstock, and, since the Filmora 15 update, in-timeline access to Sora 2 and Veo 3.1 for text-to-video generation without leaving the app. G2 reviewers rate it 4.4/5 across 601 reviews, with 75% landing five stars, which tracks with how approachable it is for non-editors.
The catch is that the headline subscription price buys less than it looks like. AI credits, premium Filmstock assets and some effects sit behind separate paywalls even for paying subscribers, and Trustpilot is full of complaints about trial-to-paid billing and slow refunds. The perpetual license dodges subscription creep but locks you to that version's feature set. Fine for hobbyists and small-business marketing video; professional editors will outgrow it.
What people say
Wondershare Technology Group has been Shenzhen-listed (SZSE: 300624) since January 2018, was founded in 2003, and sold consumer video-editing software long before AI was part of the pitch. That longevity shows in a template and effects library far broader than the AI-first editors that generate more but edit less.
Filmora 15 is described by Wondershare and reviewers alike as the biggest upgrade yet: AI generation through Sora 2, Veo 3.1 and Kling 2.5, dual-timeline editing, a pen tool for motion graphics and 10-track audio export, alongside smart cutout, auto-captioning and voice cloning.
A February 2026 restructure consolidated plans around AI credits, and the SKU list has splintered enough that our two records of it disagree. One shows Basic at $49.99/year with 500 AI Mate conversations, Advanced at $59.99 with 1,000 monthly credits, Premium at $99.99 with 2,000, and a perpetual licence near $79.99 capped at 15 lifetime updates; the other shows the same $49.99 and $59.99 tiers plus a $69.99 Cross-Platform plan, Filmstock a separate $79.99/year, and older perpetual buyers locked to the version they bought. The credits go fast either way: Veo 3.1 text-to-video costs 450 per generation, voice cloning 100, text-to-speech 1 per 10 characters — so a 1,000-credit plan covers roughly two AI video generations a month before top-ups.
On G2 Filmora holds 4.4 out of 5 across 601 reviews, and Wondershare cites 11,000+ reviews across G2, Trustpilot, Software Advice and Gartner Peer Insights averaging the same 4.4. Reviewers credit the drag-and-drop workflow and template breadth for letting non-editors ship fast. The recurring complaint is that advanced editing feels thin next to a real NLE and the software slows on large 4K files. Trustpilot runs rougher and varies sharply by regional domain — some pages score 1.6 to 3.1 — with clusters describing trials that kept billing, forced-card signups, unannounced renewals and refund requests going nowhere.
The net complaint is the same on both: the advertised price is a floor, not a ceiling. For a hobbyist the consolidation is worth the friction; for client work at volume, budget the credit math in advance.
