A data-driven research and scriptwriting platform for short-form video creators. Build a Watchlist of channels in your niche, deep-analyze their best-performing videos (1 credit each) to extract transcript, hook, storytelling format, visual layout, and outlier score, then turn those patterns into ideas and scripts. MCP is built in: connect https://mcp.sandcastles.ai/ to Claude Desktop or Google Antigravity, and ask it to bulk-analyze top outliers or research winning hooks and formats directly from the chat. Automations (Pro+) let rules auto-analyze videos by outlier score, views, and engagement. Pricing: a one-time $5/month Starter plan exists for new accounts only, but it is severely limited—10 credits/month, 1 workspace, no MCP, no Automations, no Reports, no new-channel tracking. Full plans: Pro $49/mo (or $39/mo annual, 100 credits, 3 workspaces, MCP), Visionary $99/mo (or $79/mo annual, 250 credits, 5 workspaces), Titan $499/mo (or $399/mo annual, 1,500 credits, 20 workspaces, API access). Note: Starter is a one-time offer and its limitations are easy to miss—full plans start at $49/mo. ScamAdviser shows a trust score of 0 but concludes the site is legit (score likely stale—not scanned in 30+ days); WHOIS is hidden and traffic is low. Not a publishing tool—research and scriptwriting only. Not to be confused with the open-source sandcastle-ai workflow engine on PyPI.

A unified social media API platform for developers and AI agents. One API key and one REST API pattern provide access to public data from 20+ platforms—TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter/X, Threads, Reddit, LinkedIn, Facebook, Pinterest, Google, and more—covering profiles, posts, comments, analytics, transcripts, and commerce signals. The platform is explicitly “AI-agent-first,” with a Google MCP service (https://mcp.keyapi.ai/google/mcp) that lets agents run web and image searches via KEYAPI_TOKEN, plus AI Agent endpoints on paid plans. Pricing (31-day cycles, unused credits reset on renewal): Free 100 credits (expires in 7 days), Basic $59 for 20,000 credits, Pro $199 for 100,000 credits, Ultra $699 for 500,000 credits. Basic was cut from $189 to $59 and Pro from $439 to $189 on 2026-10-15. Note: developer/agent-only API—no end-user dashboard; no verified third-party user reviews on Trustpilot/G2/Capterra as of listing (AurionX marks it “early listing”); a third-party security audit of an integration skill flagged token handling (visible terminal input, plaintext persistence in shell profile) and data transmission disclosures—review credentials carefully before production use.

An AI long-video-to-short-clips tool. Upload a long recording, and it transcribes, detects high-engagement moments, and generates self-contained clips with scroll-stopping titles, styled captions, and a chat interface that can reference any second of the source video. Future Tools also lists animated captions, translations, social-size formatting, and export/scheduling for TikTok, Reels, and YouTube Shorts. Operated by an unfunded company based in Wilmington, US. Note: product identity is ambiguous across directories—some describe a long-video-to-short-clips tool, others a “recording intelligence layer” for lectures, meetings, and sales calls; pricing is not publicly listed in any verified source (Future Tools marks it Paid, but no numbers are confirmed); no user reviews on Product Hunt as of listing; not to be confused with the PodCut audio editing app on the App Store.

An AI long-to-short video clipping tool. Upload a long video or paste a link, and it identifies high-engagement moments, cuts them into vertical clips, auto-captions with hashtags, reframes for TikTok/Reels/Shorts, and generates titles and descriptions. Includes a “HiClip Chat” mode where you can give natural-language editing instructions (e.g., “cut the slow parts, keep the highlights”). Chinese tech media reported HiClip as a product from HiDream.ai, launched at WAIC 2025. English directories list a HiClip AI under Sparking Innovations Limited (Hong Kong). Note: product identity is ambiguous across sources; pricing data conflicts ($9–$20/mo reported; Starter $9/mo has the most support); free tier limited to 5 exports/month with watermark; users report slow processing on longer videos; manual editing is limited. Not to be confused with “Hip Clip AI” (Los Angeles, podcast transcription).

A short-form video intelligence platform with two distinct sides. The developer-facing side (dev.virlo.ai) is a pay-per-request data API and MCP server covering TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels: Content Research Agents that collect videos by niche with 79 AI labels (topic, hook, format, tone, brand safety, AI use), creator/sound/hashtag lookups, tracking with daily AI reports, trends/digests, and an MCP server (https://dev.virlo.ai/api/mcp/mcp) for Claude Code and Cursor. Billing is prepaid (1 credit = $0.01, errors free); Trends Digest costs $0.25, creator lookup $0.50, agent run $0.50, raw video data $0.01. The consumer-facing side is an AI content creation tool (script/video/audio/image generation via Veo 3, Runway, Sora 2, ElevenLabs), sold via subscription tiers—but the intro subscription is data-only, and content-creation credits require an additional purchase or a higher tier (a point of complaint on Trustpilot). G2: 4.9/5 (6 reviews, all small businesses, Apr–Jun 2026); Trustpilot: mixed (two 1-star reviews about subscription not including creation credits, one 5-star review). Note: the two product lines have different pricing and access models—verify which one you\'re evaluating.

A short-form video analytics platform for creators, agencies, and brands. Track any public TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, Snapchat, or X account by URL—no ownership or credentials required—and monitor views, engagement, outlier performance, and competitor strategies in one dashboard. Includes AI-powered discovery of viral videos, collections for grouping accounts by client or campaign, automated creator payments (via Contra, 180+ countries), and Slack/Discord alerts. Pricing: no free tier; 7-day trial only. Launch $99/mo (unlimited accounts, 1,000 videos stored, 24h refresh, 1 seat); Scale $249/mo (5,000 videos, 12h refresh, 3 seats); Enterprise custom (unlimited, API/MCP/Webhooks included). 1h/4h refresh and full API/Webhooks are paid add-ons ($150/mo for Premium API). Note: video-only tracking (no photo posts or carousels); ScamAdviser trust score shows 0 but its conclusion is \"legit and safe\" (score likely stale—page not scanned in 30+ days); limited independent reviews (RightAIChoice, WhichAITools, Trackagoat comparison).

An AI social engagement platform (formerly NSWR) that centralizes comments, DMs, mentions, and ad replies from Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube into one shared inbox. AI drafts replies grounded in your knowledge base and brand voice, detects intent and sentiment to prioritize buying signals or sensitive conversations, auto-hides spam/scams/harmful comments, and supports multilingual detection and replies. Includes trigger-based DM automations, saved replies, team assignment, and conversion tracking. Pricing: Free (100 actions/month, multi-user), Standard €29/mo per workspace, Pro €99/mo per workspace (adds ad/dark-post comment moderation). Note: the main pricing page does not fully display paid tiers—prices come from the official comparison page; free trial is advertised as both 7 and 14 days (confirm at signup); channels are limited to Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube (no X, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Threads, or Pinterest); limited independent user reviews as of listing; not to be confused with blabla.group (SocialFi) or the Blabla AI Network app.

An AI agentic clip editor centered on “Eddie,” a chat-based editing agent that turns horizontal footage into polished vertical shorts. Describe the style or vibe you want, and Eddie assembles cuts, animated captions, effects, and 9:16 reframing automatically. After the first pass, keep refining through chat or open the full editor to adjust every cut, caption, and effect manually. All plans include 2K exports, unlimited daily projects, and full editor access. Pricing: no free tier; Hobby €29/mo (or €24.17/mo annual, ~8 one-minute clips), Pro €49/€99/€149/mo (or €40.83/€82.50/€124.17/mo annual, ~30/70/140 clips). Credit consumption depends on model and editing complexity. Note: starts from a clip you already have (not a long-video auto-clipper like OpusClip); no verified third-party user reviews found on major platforms as of listing; max export is 2K (not 4K).

A unified social media data and video analysis API for developers and AI agents. Extracts transcripts, AI summaries, comments, stats, channel data, and downloadable files from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter/X, and LinkedIn. Coverage includes video transcripts (2 credits/started minute), AI summaries (2 credits/request), comments/search/listings (1 credit per 50 results for most platforms, 1 per 20 for Instagram), and downloads (1 credit/started minute up to 480p, 4 credits for 720p/1080p). Failed requests cost 0 credits. Offers Agent Skills (npx skills add SocialKit-API/skills --all) for Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex, with MCP optional. Note: developer/agent tool, not an end-user app; platform coverage varies—Instagram search returns only one batch of up to 12 reels with no pagination, LinkedIn only supports publicly accessible profiles, and Facebook lacks bulk/download endpoints. Rate limits scale with effective credit allowance (40 req/min below 2,000 credits up to 600 req/min above 50,000). Subscription plan pricing is not fully documented in the API docs; verify on the official site. Not to be confused with socialk.it, a separate social media scheduling product.

An AI video intelligence workspace for organizing and searching saved short-form content. Paste a TikTok, YouTube, or Instagram Reel link (or bulk import your saved lists), and Quiki scans the video to generate an AI summary, extract keywords, and auto-file it into one of 47 smart folders. Paid tiers add full transcript search (find a video by a phrase spoken in it), custom notes and tags, and deeper analysis. Available on web, iPhone, Android (via share sheet), and Chrome extension. Swipe Mode turns your library into a full-screen feed. Pricing: Free (100 recent videos, limited daily scans), Play $4.99/mo (1,000 videos, 100 scans/day, bulk import), Pro $29.99/mo (10,000 videos, 1,000 scans/day, notes), Agency $249.99/mo (deep multimodal analysis, transcript search, unlimited storage). Note: this is an organizer/searcher, not a video generator or social publisher; Instagram scanning requires paid credits; company founded 2025 in the UK; no verified user reviews on Capterra as of listing; not to be confused with the AI notetaker app or the Go wiki engine.
