VIDIO vs Blur.me
Blur.me alternative for creators who blur more than faces
Blur.me is an inexpensive browser tool that blurs faces, plates and objects in photos and videos and redacts PDFs. VIDIO is also browser-based, and adds text obfuscation, spoken-detail bleeping and the option to keep yourself visible while strangers are blurred.

ScanningAi face blurring in VIDIO
The short answer
Blur.me's Starter plan is $7 a month billed yearly, for roughly 8 minutes of video. Its free plan caps videos at 10 seconds and 720p with a watermark.
VIDIO's free plan also watermarks exports, but it lets you test face blurring on your real footage. For street vlogs, blur moving faces keeps the cover on people walking past while you stay on camera.
