Last checked: October 2026 · prices, ratings and turnaround read on vendor sites and Clutch on 24 Oct 2026
The best video production services in 2026 are Increditors (#1) for editing-led production and videoeditingcompany.com (#2) for a dedicated monthly team. Shootsta leads corporate subscriptions, Lemonlight packaged shoots, Vidico SaaS production and Epipheo flagship films. Published starting prices run from US$1,000 a month to $150,000+ per film.
Video production services come in five types, and the right vendor depends on the type: editing and animation on a monthly team, corporate video on a subscription, packaged live-action shoots, SaaS production, and one-off story-led films. We ranked ten vendors on the same seven fields and tied each price to the page where we read it on 24 Oct 2026. Wyzowl, Moonb and Increditors publish no price here; Superside needs a $15,000 monthly minimum.
Most lists of video production services mix camera-crew studios, subscription editors and enterprise design networks into one ranking and skip the prices. This guide separates them by service type and ties every price to its source page. It is written for US and UK marketing leads and founders buying video. It differs from three nearby pages on this site: our best video production companies guide is the general all-industries ranking, our corporate video production companies guide is about internal and investor video, and our explainer video companies ranking covers animated explainers only. This page is the by-type, priced view. For editing costs in particular, see our video editing cost guide.
Best Video Production Services by Type, at a Glance
Pick the type first, then the vendor. The table names our top pick for each type and the starting price each one publishes. “Not published” means we found no figure on its own site on 24 Oct 2026.
💡 Pro Tip: Ask whether the quote includes the shoot. A $1,500 package and a $5,000-a-month team are not competing offers: one buys a finished video, the other buys editing capacity. Match the type to your volume before you compare prices.
How We Picked These Video Production Services
Data date: every price, turnaround and rating was read on 24 Oct 2026 from the vendor’s own site or its Clutch profile. Criteria, in the order we weighted them:
- Verifiable proof: a Clutch rating with a visible review count, and named clients on the vendor’s own site.
- Price transparency: a published figure, range or minimum we could cite.
- Production depth: a visible portfolio of finished video, not only a service-list line.
- Turnaround clarity: a stated timeline, not “it depends”.
- Capacity model: whether you buy one film, a package or a monthly team.
We did not assign numeric scores, because one number would hide the trade-offs. Vendors with no public price or rating rank lower because a buyer cannot verify them. Where a field could not be found it says so; nothing is estimated. We dropped Awakened Films and Sandwich Video: neither publishes a price or has a Clutch or G2 rating.
⚖️ Disclosure: This guide is published by Increditors, a video editing company, and includes our own services. videoeditingcompany.com is a division of Increditors, which is why we list us first and it second. We show the evidence behind each ranking so you can judge it, and we do not publish our own prices here. The dataset behind this guide, with a source URL per row, is kept by us. Data date: 24 Oct 2026.
The 10 Best Video Production Services, Ranked
Each entry uses the same seven fields in the same order: Best for, Pricing, Turnaround, Capacity model, Rating, Based in, Named clients.
1. Increditors: Editing-led production and animation for B2B
Increditors is a video editing agency that finishes the work most production companies hand off: editing, motion graphics, color, sound and 2D animation, delivered by the same team month after month. We do not run camera crews, so the fit is a team that already has footage or scripts. The record is a 5.0 on Clutch from 12 reviews, 1,700+ videos and 340+ clients. We do not publish our prices in this guide.
- Best for: B2B and SaaS marketing teams that need finished, on-brand video every month without hiring editors
- Pricing: Custom quote after a scoping call; our pricing is on our own site and not repeated here (read on increditors.com, 24 Oct 2026)

What Video Production Services Cost, by Type
The table lists every published price we found, with the page it came from. All 16 figures are list prices in US dollars read on 24 Oct 2026, and they can change, so check the page before you commit. Three vendors publish no figure at all (Wyzowl, Moonb, and us by design).
Our arithmetic from those figures, so you can check it:
- Shootsta from US$1,000 a month, annualised: US$12,000 a year (1,000 x 12)
- VEC Core at $9,500 a month, annualised: $114,000 a year (9,500 x 12 (VEC states $114K a year))
- Superside minimum plus software fee, annualised: $192,000 a year ((15,000 + 1,000) x 12)
- Lemonlight animated vs Epipheo floor: $2,500 vs $5,000 (published starting prices, 2x gap)
⚠️ Warning: Do not compare a monthly plan with a per-video price without checking volume. US$1,000 a month buys one thing at Shootsta and nothing like a $16,000-a-month dedicated team; divide by the assets you will actually publish, then compare cost per asset.
Which Type of Video Production Service to Buy
If you publish four or more videos a month
Buy capacity, not a project. A dedicated team or subscription (Increditors, videoeditingcompany.com, Shootsta or Vidico) gets cheaper per video as volume rises, and the same editors learn your brand. Our video editing retainer cost guide and the unlimited video editing services comparison put dated prices on this model.
If you need one flagship video
Buy a project from a studio: Epipheo and Demo Duck for story-led animation or commercials, Lemonlight for a packaged live-action shoot at a published price. Ask for a fixed quote that includes revisions, and plan for 3–12 weeks.
If you already have footage
You do not need a production company. You need editing, which is cheaper and faster: see our video editing agency vs freelancer comparison and our video editing subscription guide.
If video is one part of a wider creative load
An embedded creative team (Moonb) or an enterprise network (Superside) covers design and video together, at the cost of less video depth and a higher minimum. See our best brand video agencies ranking for agency-led brand work.
How to Compare Quotes
- Confirm what is included. Scripting, casting, shoot days, editing, music licensing, captions and revisions are all separate lines at some vendors.
- Ask for the same brief to be quoted. One 60-second script sent to three vendors tells you more than any price page.
- Check proof you can verify. A Clutch profile with a review count and named clients beats a logo wall;
- Ask who owns the files. You want the project files and the master, not just an export.
- Test small first. A single deliverable or a month-to-month plan (videoeditingcompany.com is month-to-month) costs less than a 12-month term you may regret.

FAQ: Video Production Services
Who offers the best video production services in 2026?
It depends on the service type. For ongoing editing and animation, Increditors ranks first in this guide and videoeditingcompany.com second. Shootsta is the pick for corporate video on a subscription, Lemonlight for packaged live-action shoots, Vidico for SaaS production on a monthly plan, and Epipheo or Demo Duck for one-off story-led films.
How much do video production services cost in 2026?
Published starting points in this guide run from US$1,000 a month (Shootsta) and $1,500 per video (Lemonlight curated) to $15,000–$25,000 for a 60-second Demo Duck film, up to $150,000+ at Epipheo and $15,000 a month at Superside. Monthly teams start around $5,000 at Vidico and videoeditingcompany.com.
What is the difference between video production and video editing services?
Production covers planning, scripting, casting and shooting; editing and post-production turn footage into a finished video with cuts, sound, color and motion graphics. Lemonlight, Vidico and Demo Duck do both; Increditors and videoeditingcompany.com edit and animate only.
Should I hire a production company or use a subscription?
Use a production company for one flagship film. Use a subscription or dedicated team when you need several videos a month: published plans start at US$1,000 a month at Shootsta and about $5,000 a month at Vidico and videoeditingcompany.com, and cost per video falls as volume rises.
How long do video production services take?
Published timelines in this guide run from 48 hours for a first edit (Shootsta, Moonb) and 3–7 days per asset (videoeditingcompany.com) to 3–10 weeks for packaged production at Lemonlight and 5–6 weeks for an Epipheo explainer. Demo Duck’s guide says most companies need 8–12 weeks.
What should I send a video production company to get a fair quote?
Send every shortlisted company the same one-page brief: audience, the one action you want viewers to take, draft script or key messages, length, style references, deadline and whether you have footage. Ask for a fixed price, revision rounds and file ownership in writing.
Verdict
Choose by type. For ongoing editing and animation, Increditors and videoeditingcompany.com lead this guide; for a corporate subscription, Shootsta publishes the lowest recurring price at US$1,000 a month; for a packaged shoot, Lemonlight publishes a $1,500 floor; for a flagship film, expect $5,000 to $25,000+ at Epipheo or Demo Duck. Whatever you pick, get the quote to state length, number of videos, revision rounds and who owns the files before you pay.
