Gling runs an AI pass that cuts silences and filler from your footage. REQO is a full browser-based editor: clean up a video by editing its transcript by hand for free, and get one-click automatic silence and filler removal on REQO Pro at $19/mo.
Gling runs an auto-cleanup pass and hands you a cut file. REQO is a full timeline: record, trim, cut, reorder, add music and captions, then export, all in one browser tab.
Delete filler words, bad takes and dead air by highlighting them in the auto-generated transcript. The footage follows your edit. Manual cleanup like this is free on REQO.
Want the one-click version that detects and cuts silences and filler for you? That is REQO Pro at $19/mo, alongside watermark-free exports and AI Studio.
REQO runs in the browser. Record, edit, caption and share from the same tab, on any machine, no desktop app.
To be clear: Gling is purpose-built for one-click automatic cleanup, and it is good at it. REQO only matches that automatic pass on the Pro plan. What REQO adds is a full editor around it, with free transcript editing for people who would rather clean up by hand.
