Flowstate vs hiring a freelance editor
A good freelance editor can be great value. The difference is everything around the edit: packaging, Shorts, publishing and someone checking what worked.
| Flowstate | The other option | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Monthly plan, quoted after you apply | Per video, often cheaper for one format |
| Your time each week | Send VODs, review if you want | Briefing, feedback, finding cover when they are busy |
| Story and pacing | Editors who specialise in gaming streams | Depends on the person |
| Long-form and Shorts | Both, from the same streams | Usually one or the other |
| Thumbnails and titles | Included | Often a separate hire |
| Publishing handled | Yes | Rarely |
| Best for | Streamers who want a channel run for them | Creators who want to manage the process themselves |
When the other option is better
If you already have a strong channel process and just need extra hands for one format, a solid freelancer may be all you need.
