Which one is for you
Pick OpusClip if
- Fits if you're a podcaster or streamer cutting long recordings into short clips
- Works for posting the same clips to several social platforms on a schedule, on Pro
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want a general video editor, as it's built around cutting long videos into shorts
- Tight if you're staying free, because clips are watermarked, can't be edited and stop exporting after 3 days
- Pricey if you want Pro month to month, at $29 against $14.50 a month billed annually
- Watch out: Starter at $15 is monthly only, stuck at 9:16 with no scheduler, and Pro's 300 credits are 300 source minutes
- Not for you if you're on Android or want a desktop app, and the editor wants Chrome, not Safari 18.2 or later
Pick Vizard if
- Fits if you turn podcasts, talks or long videos into short clips
- Works for people who'll start on the free plan to see the clips it picks
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you stay free: 720p, 60 credits a month and projects deleted after 3 days
- Skip it if you want unlimited storage, which only Business has
- Pricey if you add teammates: extra members cost $5 a month per seat
- Watch out: credits are shared between clipping and the Agent, and roll over for only 2 months
- Not for you if you want a desktop or phone app, as it's browser only
How we grade them
| 2.2GPAOpusClipFair | 2.2GPAVizardFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CStarter is $15 a month, monthly only. Pro is $14.50 on the year or $29 by the month. Both sit in the upper half of this category's normal range, where the middle is $10, and a credit is a minute of source video, so 300 credits isn't much. | CCreator is $14.50 a month on yearly billing ($29 monthly), a little above the category's middle of $12.99. Business is $19.50. |
| Free plan and trial | CFree forever with 60 credits a month, auto reframe and AI captions, but clips are watermarked, you can't edit them, and after 3 days you can't export them either.

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
