OpusClip alternatives, compared

Good to know

• There's no free plan, but Starter is $20 month to month, so a month is all it takes to try it.

Best for

• A low price per minute: $0.0242 on its yearly Creator plan.
• A free plan to start with, and posting and scheduling to social apps.

Falls short on

• Its free plan exports at 720p with a watermark.
• It transcribes 40 languages, where Clyper captions more than 50.

Best for

• Paying per clip instead of per minute of video.

• Choosing how many clips (up to 20) and how long they run.

Falls short on

• It works from uploaded files, not YouTube links.
• A full editor to learn when all you need is clips.

Best for

Falls short on

• Month to month, PRO+ costs $0.1100 a minute, against $0.0950 on Clyper Pro.

• A free plan, with face tracking, animated subtitles and brand presets on every plan.

Falls short on
