AgentRecast vs Descript,
for real estate agents.
Descript is an editor: you edit video by editing its transcript, and it does that very well. AgentRecast makes the video for you: clips from your video, and reels from a listing link. Here is the plain side by side.

Dallas: Buyers got their leverage back
here’s what changed this month

This frame is from our own demo: a 10 minute Dallas market update recorded on a phone, cut into vertical clips.
Every clip opens with a headline that names the town, in a white box for its first 3 seconds, and captions follow each word. More on captions and hooks. Weighing more tools? See OpusClip, Descript and Canva alternatives.
Pick Descript when you like to edit.
- You enjoy editing and want control of every cut.
- You make a podcast and want to clean up the sound and the filler words.
- You need more hours a month than our plans hold: Descript Hobbyist has 10 media hours.
Pick AgentRecast when you would rather not edit.
- You want the clips found and cut for you from a YouTube video or an upload.
- You have listings and nothing filmed: a link becomes a video from your listing description and photos.
- You want the week from one video: clips, posts and a newsletter.
- You would rather ask for a change in a sentence than learn an editor.
Free to start, no card.
- Free: 60 minutes of video a month, no card. Clips and reels carry a small watermark.
- Starter, $25 a month: 150 minutes, no watermark, 3 AI edits per video.
- Pro, $29 a month: 300 minutes, 10 AI edits per video.
A minute of the video you bring is a minute; a listing link counts as 10. A project that makes no clips costs no minutes.
Before you switch or try.
Can I edit an AgentRecast clip myself?
Yes. Move a clip's start and end, edit the written posts, or turn the headline off, at no cost. For other changes, ask the AI in a sentence: 1, 3 or 10 AI edits per video by plan.
Can I use both?
Yes. Some agents edit their long video in Descript and paste the finished YouTube link into AgentRecast for the clips and posts.
Can I try AgentRecast without paying?
Yes. 60 minutes of video a month, no card.
