Vizard alternative: what each tool is good at
Vizard and Spoolfield both count usage in minutes of video and both turn long recordings into short vertical clips. The difference is in what surrounds the clipping. Vizard adds a video editor, a post scheduler and team workspaces, and its paid plans take uploads of up to 600 minutes. Spoolfield keeps to clips, captions, transcripts and conversions, and its free plan exports without a watermark.

Ask in your own words
Type the job in any language, such as “3 Shorts about the pricing part”, and Spoolfield fills in the tool and settings and shows the price.
An MCP server, not only a skill
Claude on the web, Claude Code and Cursor connect to Spoolfield by URL and run jobs on its servers, with the price agreed first.
Questions
Do Vizard and Spoolfield count minutes the same way?
Not quite. Vizard’s free plan counts minutes of video you upload. Spoolfield counts minutes of speech turned into text plus minutes of clips you get back, and simple jobs like converting use 1 credit per 5 minutes.
Which one keeps my files longer for free?
Vizard: projects on its free plan expire after 3 days, while Spoolfield keeps free files for 1 day. Spoolfield’s paid plans keep files for 3 or 7 days.
Does Spoolfield work in languages other than English?
Yes. The site and app come in 17 languages, the prompt box understands any language, and speech to text recognises about 100 spoken languages.
