The short answer
Pick Revid if this describes you: If the goal is a steady stream of short vertical videos, Revid is built for it: it schedules and publishes to TikTok, Instagram and YouTube, adds captions, follows trends and covers ads, faceless videos and podcasts as well as music. It also takes a Spotify or Suno link instead of a file.
Pick CapCut if this does: If nobody needs to sing on screen, a lyric video edited in CapCut costs nothing, and it is the quickest way to cut footage you already have to the beat. It is also where many people finish a generated video.
Pick Reelody if the video should tell a story and the singer should sing it: a cast that stays the same in every scene, more than one singer when the song is a duet, and lip-sync that holds when the singer is small in a wide shot. Every plan and the free demo render in 1080p.
