The short version

Only Kapwing has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
Each has a real cost: Kapwing free plan caps export length at 4 minutes and total monthly usage at 30 minutes, and adds a watermark; Kissmetrics overages are added automatically to the next invoice rather than blocked, so exceeding an event allowance bills without a decision point

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Kapwing

Free plan caps export length at 4 minutes and total monthly usage at 30 minutes, and adds a watermark
Removing the watermark requires the Pro plan at $16 per member per month billed annually
The vendor states it does not issue refunds for subscriptions once upgraded

Kissmetrics

Overages are added automatically to the next invoice rather than blocked, so exceeding an event allowance bills without a decision point
The free plan allows 100,000 events a month
Per event rates fall with volume, from $0.20 per 1,000 events on Growth to $0.10 on Gold, so smaller customers pay double per event
The vendor states Growth, Silver and Gold are the identical product, so the paid tiers differ only in unit price and volume
Anything above 5 million events is custom priced
