Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about switching from HeyOrca to ShortSync

Yes, definitely. HeyOrca is designed for agencies with features like client approval portals and per-calendar pricing. Individual creators would pay $59/month for features they don't need. ShortSync's €14.99/month with video-specific features is much better value for creators.
