FireCut vs TimeBolt

Checked October 31, 2026

FireCut was checked October 31, 2026 on firecut.ai/pricing. The figures below are the Premiere Pro column. DaVinci Resolve is a separate column on that page. TimeBolt is quoted from its listing, last checked October 30, 2026. Gling is quoted from its listing, last checked October 18, 2026.

A plugin, or a separate app

FireCut runs inside Premiere Pro, and the same company sells a DaVinci Resolve column at different prices. On the Premiere column, Starter is $19/month, or $10/month billed yearly, for one-click silence cutting. Pro is $34/month, or $20/month billed yearly, with 25 hours of transcription a month, captions in 50+ languages, podcast automatic editing, clip highlights, and filler cleanup. Max is $59/month, or $39/month billed yearly, with 100 transcription hours, edit-to-script, and a magic cut. AI speech is an extra $25/month for 25,000 characters. The yearly toggle says save up to 47%. Team starts at $34 per user per month, billed monthly. A 7-day trial is on the page.

TimeBolt, from the October 30 listing, is its own desktop app. Free is $0: video only, watermarked exports, no XML, and no saving projects. Pro is $17/month, $97/year, or $347 once. Paid plans add audio files, XML and plugin export, and no watermark on the edit. Filler removal is UMCHECK at $0.03 a minute, on top of a paid plan. The page says the video is not uploaded. The TimeBolt vs Gling page is the other half of that pair.

Where the timeline ends up

If the episode is already a Premiere sequence, FireCut's reason to exist is that the silence pass, the captions, and the podcast assembly happen on that sequence. Starter stops at the silence cut. The podcast pass and the filler cleanup are Pro. You are also paying for Premiere.

If you want the pauses gone and the timeline back as XML, TimeBolt's paid plan is the handoff, and Gling is the other desktop app that does it. From the October 18 listing, Gling Free is 1 hour a month with a watermark and no XML. Plus is $20/month or $10/month billed annually for 10 hours. Hours do not roll over. Gling's filler removal is inside the hour allowance. TimeBolt's is the per-minute add-on. The Video editing list has the editors that are not plugins.

A weekly show, then the meter

FireCut Pro's 25 transcription hours is the number to check against a weekly episode. A long stream will want Max's 100 hours, or a month where you only run the tool on the sections you keep. The yearly Premiere prices are per month, billed yearly. DaVinci prices are on the other selector. Do not copy the Premiere card across.

TimeBolt's one-time license is $347, from the October 30 listing, when you would rather not carry a second subscription next to Premiere. It still will not remove ums unless you pay UMCHECK. FireCut Pro includes the filler cleanup in the plan.

Questions

Does FireCut work without Premiere Pro?

The prices above are the Premiere Pro column, and the page says those cards require Premiere Pro. DaVinci Resolve is a separate column with its own prices. TimeBolt and Gling are desktop apps that export a timeline, so they are the path when you do not already own Premiere.

Which plan removes filler words?

FireCut Pro includes filler cleanup, along with 25 transcription hours and podcast automatic editing. Starter is the silence cut. TimeBolt's October 30 listing charges $0.03 a minute for UMCHECK on top of a paid plan. Gling's filler removal, from the October 18 listing, sits inside the monthly hour allowance.

Is there a free way to cut the silences once?

FireCut's pricing page offers a 7-day trial. It does not list a permanent $0 Premiere plan. TimeBolt Free exports a watermarked video and cannot save a project. Gling Free, from the October 18 listing, is 1 hour a month with a watermark and no XML export.
