Stillhaven VS Castmint

Stillhaven's answer

Every video is private by default. There is no public profile, no discovery feed, and no ads. You upload a video, get a private link or an embed code, and decide who can see it. Pricing is bandwidth and storage, nothing else: no add-ons, no per-seat upsells, and client review and approvals are included on every plan.

Castmint's answer:

Most AI video tools automate a single step — voiceover, or captions, or stock clips — and leave you to stitch the rest together yourself. Castmint goes from one typed line to a finished, publishable vertical short in a single pass: script, AI voiceover, synced captions and visuals, all in one automated flow. You still get a full timeline editor when you want to polish it by hand.

Stillhaven's answer

Most video hosts price like you’re a media company. Stillhaven starts at $9 a month, and the monthly plans come with a 14-day trial, so you can see the whole product before you pay. Every plan states its storage, bandwidth and hours of new video a month in plain numbers on the pricing page. You also get client review with timestamped comments and approval, domain-locked embeds, a browser recorder for quick screen and camera videos, and a WordPress plugin, without stepping up to a $79 plan to unlock them.

Castmint's answer:

Castmint removes the assembly work, not just one piece of it. You type an idea and get a complete short ready to post — no separate tools for scripting, voice, captions and editing. Your first three videos are free with no card required, so you can judge the output on your own topic before committing to anything.

Stillhaven's answer

Independent creators and small teams who deliver video to clients or members and want it kept private: videographers, course creators, membership sites, agencies and web developers embedding video on client sites, and small teams hosting internal training.

Castmint's answer:

Faceless-channel creators, solo YouTubers/TikTokers who'd rather not be on camera, and small brands that want to post consistently on TikTok, Reels and Shorts without hiring a video team or an editor.

Stillhaven's answer

I’d been hosting videos for my own web and aerial clients for years and looked at Wistia for a proper platform. The pricing didn’t make sense for a small shop, and the cheaper options all pushed videos toward a public audience I didn’t want. So I built what I needed: private hosting with honest pricing and client review built in. I moved my own clients onto it first, then opened it up in 2026.

Castmint's answer:

Castmint started because the founder's own channel kept going quiet — not from a lack of ideas, but because every short cost an evening of scripting, recording, captioning and cutting. Castmint automates that whole pipeline, so one typed idea becomes a finished, ready-to-post short in minutes instead of hours.

Stillhaven's answer

PHP, running on AWS: ECS Fargate, S3, CloudFront, MediaConvert for transcoding, Transcribe for captions, DynamoDB, and Cognito. Payments through Stripe.

Castmint's answer:

Built on Next.js and TypeScript, with AI generation powered by OpenAI, ElevenLabs and fal.ai.

Stillhaven's answer

Stillhaven launched publicly in 2026, so our customers are small studios, construction and real estate firms using it for aerial footage review, and independent creators. We don’t publish customer names.
