Nova vs Reap
The Reap alternative
that finishes the job
Reap leans on multilingual clipping. Nova does the whole pipeline — finds the viral moments, reframes to vertical, captions, translates into 90+ languages, dubs the voiceover, and hands you an editable EDL/FCPXML timeline — from a single link, with a real free tier.

Why creators switch to Nova
Clip and localize in one place
Nova doesn't just translate — it finds the moments, reframes, captions, translates into 90+ languages, and can dub the audio, all in one pass from a single paste.
Hand off to a real editor
Export the cut as EDL or FCPXML and finish in Premiere, Final Cut, or Resolve — the editor handoff most clippers, localization-first ones included, simply don't offer.
A free tier, not a teaser
Clip and caption a real video on the free plan, no card, before you decide.
Questions? Answers.
Is Nova a good Reap alternative?
Yes — Nova matches the multilingual clipping (90+ translation languages plus optional AI dubbing) and adds the parts Reap doesn't: AI moment detection from a single link, an editable EDL/FCPXML timeline export, broad source support, and a genuine free tier. Run the same video through Nova's free plan to compare.
How many languages does Nova translate into?
90+ — the translation pipeline is language-agnostic, so the supported list is broad by design, in the same range as specialist localization clippers.
Is there a free plan?
Yes — 60 minutes/month with no credit card. Paid plans are $29 (Pro) and $99 (Premium).
