AutoCut and CutDeck are the closest matchup on the Premiere plugin shelf right now. They overlap on silence cutting, subtitles, viral clips, and profanity censor. They diverge in two big places: AutoCut has more total tools (zoom, b-rolls, repeat-take detection, chapters, resize) but tier-gates them behind its $19.80/mo AI plan. CutDeck is flat $7.99/mo, includes emotion-matched music and sound effects, but is Premiere-only.

AutoCut Basic at $9.90/mo only covers silence cutting. To match the feature surface most people actually want, you need the AI plan at $19.80/mo monthly or $14.90/mo on annual billing.
A year of AutoCut AI is $237.60 monthly or $178.80 annual. A year of CutDeck is $95.88. That's $141.72 less (monthly billing) or $82.92 less (annual).
Where AutoCut wins on value: if you specifically need smart zoom, b-rolls, or repeat-take detection, you can't get those from CutDeck at any price. The AI plan is the only way to get them. The same is true the other direction: if you want emotion-matched music or sound effects in your timeline, CutDeck is the only one of the two that ships them.
Free for the first week, $7.99/mo after that. Every feature unlocked. No tier upgrades to think about.
