Our take
We make Clyper, so this is our case for it. What we say about SendShort comes from its own site, linked at the bottom.
If you clip for campaigns, we'd pick Clyper. SendShort's Starter plan can't clip long videos; that starts with Professional, $29 a month for 50 shorts, where every finished clip counts as one. Clyper Starter is $20 a month for up to 75 clips, and every plan clips long videos.
Each Clyper clip comes 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. SendShort's pages don't show a score on each clip.
Why clippers pick Clyper over SendShort
Every plan clips long videos
SendShort's Starter, $19 a month, lists “Long Videos to Shorts with AI” among its locked features, so clipping a podcast or a stream starts with Professional at $29, or $23 billed yearly. Every Clyper plan does it, from Starter at $20 a month: paste any public or unlisted YouTube link up to 4 hours long.
More clips for less
SendShort counts shorts: Professional is 50 a month. Clyper counts minutes of video, however many clips they make: Starter is 150 minutes, up to 75 clips, for $20 a month, and Pro is up to 200 clips for $19 a month billed yearly, against $23 for Professional's 50.
A hook score on every clip
SendShort's home page says it scores every moment for retention, but its pages don't show a score on the clips. Clyper gives each clip a hook score, so when one video gives you a dozen clips, you post the strongest first. If one needs a nudge, trim it, extend either end by up to 15 seconds or fix a word.
Two people and streams, framed for you
SendShort tracks the speaker and keeps them centered; its pages don't describe a layout for a stream's webcam and game, and split layouts sit on its roadmap as an idea. Clyper follows whoever's talking, cuts to the other person when they answer, and stacks a stream's webcam over the game.
You still need permission to post clips of someone else's video, which clipping campaigns give.

What it costs
SendShort sells shorts a month, and “each finished clip you create or import counts as one”. Starter is $19 a month, or $15 billed yearly, for 20 shorts, without clipping long videos. Professional is $29, or $23 billed yearly, for 50 shorts up to 3 minutes each, with long videos to shorts. Business is $59, or $47 billed yearly, for unlimited shorts, which its FAQ says means 100+ a month, subject to fair use.
Clyper sells minutes of video, however many clips they make, and every plan clips long videos. 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. So clipping costs less to start, $20 against $29 month to month, and billed yearly Clyper Pro is $19 for up to 200 clips against $23 for 50.

Can SendShort clip YouTube videos?
Yes, from its Professional plan: paste a YouTube link (Twitch and Kick work too) and it picks the moments and cuts them into shorts. Its Starter plan lists that as locked. Clyper takes any public or unlisted YouTube link up to 4 hours long on every plan.
