## Frequently Asked Questions

### #### What does Uplifted do that Air does not?

Uplifted adds an AI agent that builds briefs and boards, plus ad analytics from Meta and Google, both on its higher plan. Air's ad performance analytics sit on Enterprise.

### #### How do both treat video?

Air supports timestamp comments and dialogue search. Uplifted slices long videos into searchable clips and indexes them in any language. Recharm cuts clips as well, with scene clipping in preview.

### #### Do either of them have approvals?

Yes. Air has structured approval workflows, and Uplifted marks work approved or needs changes, with comment-only access for clients. Recharm doesn't offer approvals, so teams track sign-off elsewhere.

### #### Will Claude work with Air or Uplifted?

Air's Business and Enterprise plans include an MCP server. Uplifted hasn't published a Claude or MCP link. Recharm's plugin builds clip-matched briefs inside Claude.

### #### What free options do Air and Uplifted give?

Air has a free plan. Uplifted says to try Scale for free without naming a length. Recharm's 14-day trial begins with your own footage.
