Clyper vs Crayo

Crayo is an AI short-video maker: Reddit stories, fake-text videos, AI voiceovers and images, and an AutoClip tool that cuts long videos into clips, all paid from the same credits, one a clip. Clyper is built for clippers and only makes clips. Paste any YouTube link up to 4 hours long and get up to 30 clips, each with a hook score, from $20 a month.

Our take

We make Clyper, so this is our case for it. What we say about Crayo comes from its own site, linked at the bottom.

If you clip for campaigns, we'd pick Clyper. Crayo does a lot: its credits pay for Reddit story videos, fake texts and AI images as well as clips, and its editor has a full timeline. Clyper does one thing. Paste a link and up to 30 clips come back cut to whole sentences, framed on whoever's talking, captioned word by word and given a hook score, so you know which to post first.

It costs less to start, too: Clyper Starter is $20 a month, and Crayo's smallest plan, Hobby, is $29 month to month. Clyper counts minutes of video, so asking for more clips from a video doesn't cost more.

Why clippers pick Clyper over Crayo

Up to 30 clips from one video, each with a hook score
Crayo's AutoClip gives 1 to 20 ranked clips from a video, and its own comparison says it ranks moments rather than printing a score. On Clyper you choose how many you want, up to 30 a video, or leave it on Auto, and every clip gets a hook score, so a two-hour podcast gives you a month of posts and you know which to post first.
Built only for clipping
Crayo's credits are shared: “one credit per AI-generated video”, whether that's a clip, a Reddit story or a fake-text video. Clyper's plans pay for clips and nothing else. Each one runs 20 to 60 seconds, starts and ends on a whole sentence, follows whoever's talking and cuts to the other person when they answer; a stream gets its webcam stacked over the game.
You still need permission to post clips of another creator's video, which clipping campaigns give.
Videos up to 4 hours, by link or upload
Crayo takes a YouTube or TikTok link, or an upload up to 4 GB and 3 hours, and its comparison says a 6-hour stream needs splitting. Clyper takes any public or unlisted YouTube link from a minute to 4 hours long, or a file up to 4 GB, and Clyper Studio takes 10 links at once.
Cheaper to start, and priced by the video
Clyper Starter is $20 a month for 150 minutes of video, up to 75 clips. Crayo's Hobby is $29 month to month for 250 credits and 2 hours of exports, where each clip is a credit. On Clyper, a credit is a minute of the video you clip, however many clips you ask for, and if one needs a nudge, you can trim it, extend either end by up to 15 seconds or fix a word.

What it costs

Crayo sells credits, one for each AI video it makes (a clip, a Reddit story or a fake-text video), with hours of exports beside them. Hobby is $29 a month, or $199 a year ($16.58 a month), for 250 credits and 2 hours of exports; Clipper is $59, or $399 a year, for 1,000 credits and 10 hours; Pro is $129, or $799 a year, for 3,000 credits and 30 hours. Its pricing page opens on billing every 3 months, which comes between the two.

Clyper sells minutes of video for clips: Starter is 150 minutes for $20 a month, up to 75 clips; Pro is 400 minutes for $38, or $19 billed yearly, up to 200 clips. Month to month, Clyper costs less to start, $20 against $29. Which goes further depends on how you clip: Crayo charges each clip and caps the hours you export, and Clyper charges the video, so taking more of its best moments, up to 30, costs nothing more.
