By job
Which tool for which job
Start from what you need to get done this week. Then pick the tool.
Edit any kind of video
Vlogs, behind the scenes, sketches, trends. Most of it has nothing to do with a song.
A general editor like CapCut fits best.
Make a quick lyric video
You have the song and want a vertical video with the words on screen, ready to post.
Kashie and Escalium both do this. In Escalium you can also edit it afterwards.
Run paid ads on Instagram and Facebook
You have a budget and want a tool built for setting up and running Meta campaigns.
Intellijend is built for that. Escalium makes the video and the page the ad opens.
Promote a whole release
You need several videos for one song, one link with every platform, and numbers that show which post sent people to listen.
Escalium does all of this in one account.

We say what each tool is for
Every tool here is good at something. We describe it the way it presents itself, not with reasons to avoid it.
We don't guess
No prices of other tools and no claims about their limits. When we're not sure, the table says “Not the focus”. Their website has the details.
We say what Escalium doesn't do
Escalium doesn't post to social networks for you and doesn't run ad campaigns. If you need that, use another tool for that part.
Two tools is normal
