Vendor: Wondershare. Website: https://videoconverter.wondershare.com/ - The plan cards show a yearly plan at $45.99, a perpetual plan at $55.99 and a 2-year plan at $79.99 [3][4]. - The free trial converts only one third of each video's length [3]. - The Windows and Mac versions are sold separately, and no Linux version is listed [1][2][4]. - The tech specs list HEVC and AV1 among the output codecs [2]. - The AI tools renew at $19.99 a month after a 7-day trial [3].
