How much does Instagram Reels editing cost in Australia?

For Australian businesses, Reels editing with 20CLIPS is $999 a month in US dollars for 20 Reels, which is about $50 each. The fee covers captions and subtitles, b-roll, sound design and music, basic motion graphics, hook and pacing work, 9:16 delivery and 2 revisions per video.

There are no per-Reel charges, no setup fee and no extra for captions, so the number stays the same month to month. For what the service looks like in practice, see the service page, and for a line-by-line list see the pricing page.

Editing Reels yourself costs nothing but time. Many owner-operators start strongly and stop when work picks up, which is why feeds go quiet.

Employing an editor adds wages, on-costs, equipment and supervision. For about 20 Reels a month it is usually more than the job needs.

Freelancers charge per project. That suits a one-off. A monthly feed means briefing again each time and accepting some drift in style. A subscription replaces both with a fixed fee, and the Australian hiring guide sets out the trade-offs.

Work out what your time is worth for a week. If cutting and captioning a Reel takes you an hour and a half, twenty of them take a working week, and that week usually comes out of paid work. Set that against $999 and the question becomes less about cost and more about whether your Reels would exist at all without help.

It also helps to think about what a Reel is for. If one post a week brings in enquiries, 20 a month gives you a lot of chances to be seen. If your audience is small and local, you may be better off with a lighter plan, and the 30-minute call is the place to say so.
