Compare
If you are comparing yourfilm and Shootsta, the real question is who films the video. Shootsta edits footage your team shoots. yourfilm produces the video for you, with professional crews across markets. Both solve the same frustration, the slow, expensive, one-off agency model, but they solve it from opposite ends, and which one fits depends on who holds the camera.
Short answer. Choose Shootsta if your team is happy to film its own footage and what you need is fast, brand-consistent editing on top. That is genuinely what it is built for, and it does it well. Choose yourfilm when you want premium video produced for you, by professional crews, across multiple markets, to one standard, without building filming capability in-house. If the constraint is editing throughput, Shootsta. If the constraint is producing premium video at volume without doing the shooting yourself, yourfilm.

Shootsta is built on "you shoot, we edit": your team films with a kit or your own cameras, uploads the footage, and a regional editor returns a brand-locked first cut, often within 48 hours, with editors across several regions for fast coverage. The brand kit, logos, fonts, lower thirds, is enforced at the editor level, so consistency holds across hundreds of videos, and unit cost stays low because your team carries the filming. Shootsta reports 70,000+ videos delivered for brands including Qantas, PwC, Schneider Electric and AstraZeneca. For high volumes of internal comms, updates and talking-head content, where the filming is straightforward and the lowest unit cost matters most, the self-shoot model is hard to beat. If that describes your need, Shootsta is a genuine fit and this comparison ends there.
Where Shootsta hands your team a kit, yourfilm produces the video for you. Vetted local crews film in 40+ markets, briefed and held to one standard centrally, and the brand lives in the platform as data, so every asset starts on-brand regardless of which crew shot it. The output compounds into one library, so cost per finished asset falls as volume rises, the same economic benefit the subscription model gets from volume, without asking your team to be the camera crew. Across 10,000+ videos the named work spans Air New Zealand, Westpac, JB Hi-Fi, NSW Health and Toyota. Choose yourfilm when you need premium production, lighting, direction, multi-camera coverage, locations, on-camera talent, that your own team is not set up to film, and you need it held to one standard across markets, at volume, without building that filming capability in-house.
The honest split is the camera. The ceiling of a self-shoot model is what your team can actually film, because editing cannot add production value that was never captured, which is why Shootsta added a full-crew service, Premier, for produced work. If your team can and wants to film, your volume is high, and the lowest unit cost is the priority, Shootsta is built for that. If you want premium video produced for you, across one or more markets, to a single standard, compounding into a library, yourfilm is the more direct fit. Many teams even run both: a self-shoot tool for high-volume internal clips, and a platform for the produced, premium, multi-market work. They are not the same job, and the comparison is less about which is better than about who should be holding the camera.
Yes, for teams that want video produced for them rather than filmed by their own staff. Shootsta edits footage you shoot; yourfilm produces the video with professional crews across markets, holds the brand as data, and compounds a library. If the appeal of Shootsta is scaling video but the blocker is that your team cannot or does not want to do the filming, yourfilm is the produced-for-you version.
Who films it. Shootsta runs "you shoot, we edit": your team captures the footage and their editors finish it. yourfilm produces the video for you with vetted local crews across 40+ markets, so you are not the camera operator and the output is premium production rather than edited self-shot footage.
On unit cost for simple self-shot content at high volume, Shootsta is usually cheaper because your team does the filming. For produced premium video, yourfilm is the more direct comparison, and its cost per asset falls as volume grows because the library compounds. Compare on what the finished video actually needs to be, not the headline rate.
Yes. Teams often move when the self-shoot model hits its ceiling: when they need premium production, genuine multi-market crews, or video they do not have the people to film themselves, while keeping the always-on cadence that made the subscription model appealing in the first place.
