A price list is supposed to answer "what do I do when there is more work". This one stops answering at five hours, and everything above that is sold on seats instead.
Starter is $20 a month for three hours of AI video analysis. Creator is $32 for five. Team is $48 and it is five again - what the extra sixteen dollars buys is unlimited seats and ten connected social accounts. If your problem is more people, that is a fair trade. If your problem is more video, the ladder has no next rung and the answer becomes Enterprise, priced on request.
Sixty minutes of analysis a month, 2GB of storage, and projects removed after three days. Enough to see the thing work, not enough to run a normal week through it before deciding.
Two things worth naming, because they are real reasons to stay. From the Creator tier up, projects are kept against a storage allowance rather than expiring on a clock - their own pricing page calls it "Forever project storage". And they publish an API of their own on that same $32 tier, so the clipping can be driven by another system instead of by a person. Most of this category, ourselves included, does not offer either.
Cheapest plan on each that actually does long-to-short clipping, checked September 2026.
| Tool | Cheapest plan that clips | What the allowance counts | Why it might suit you |
|---|---|---|---|
| SnapDub | €12/mo | Credits, spent on reading the recording AND on each clip and caption | The allowance keeps climbing with the tier rather than flattening, and the free plan is 500 credits to start with nothing deleted at the end of it. |
| OpusClip | $15/mo | Credits, one per uploaded minute, sold in packs that stack | The clearest answer to a ceiling: their Pro tier is sold in packs of the same size, so volume and price move together. Read the expiry terms before committing, because their exports do not last for ever. |
| Vizard | $29/mo | Minutes of upload, sold as a yearly credit bundle | The allowance is chosen from a dropdown and does keep going up, so there is no ceiling. The catch is the other direction: you pick next August's volume in January and pay for it up front. |
| Klap | $29/mo | Finished clips a month, not hours of source | Changes the unit entirely. A four-hour recording costs the same as a forty-minute one, so long source stops being the thing that runs you out. |
| Munch | $38/mo | Minutes of repurposing a month, inside a wider content suite | Doubles the allowance between its two tiers, 500 minutes to 1,000, so it does scale. It also charges for scripts, posters and analytics whether or not you wanted them, and there is no free plan under it. |
| Submagic | $19/member/mo | Per member, per month, with a cap on how many people a tier allows | No volume ceiling because there is no volume axis: the bill follows headcount. Sensible if captions are the job, expensive the moment the team grows. |
Ours is €12 for about 200 minutes of source with the clips and captions included. Run your own month through the calculator.
There are only three of them in this category and they are not interchangeable: hours of source you put in, clips you take out, and people who need an account. Choppity's ladder climbs the third one. If the thing you keep hitting is the first, no tier above Creator helps and you are paying for seats to buy video.
Take last month, add up the hours of raw recording, and price that. Then add up how many clips you actually posted. Whichever number is growing faster is the axis your next tool has to be priced on.
Every tool worth comparing will find moments, crop them upright and burn captions on. What separates a clip that looks cut from a clip that looks edited is what happens next, and that is three decisions a human editor makes on every single clip.
The opening. The strongest sentence in a recording is almost never the first one. Television has opened on the moment and then gone back to the beginning for forty years; a clip can do the same, playing the line once at the front and again in its own place, so nothing before it is lost. It is a change to the order of the clip rather than a caption laid over it, which is why it still reads with the sound off.
The emphasis. On the one line that matters, the frame comes in on the speaker, holds, and is gone again the moment the line ends, with a restrained whoosh under it. It costs nothing, it is everywhere in professionally cut video, and its absence is most of what makes a clip feel machine-made. It only works while it stays rare, so it is one line per clip or none at all.
The language. A brand brief with a line about profanity voids a submission over one word, and it does it after the views have arrived. Every clip is checked against its own spoken words, the sound drops for the length of anything that needs it, and the caption is masked to match - along with the title, the description and the hashtags, which are written from the same recording and are where it usually slips through.
All three are settings, on the video and on any template, and a tick per clip in the editor. If a tool you are comparing does these as well, its own features page will say so - this is not the kind of thing anybody hides.
Each one has a page of its own: where a clip should start and the cold open, the push-in, and handling the one word that voids a submission.
SnapDub connects to ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor and other MCP clients on every plan, the free one too. Sign in once, then ask in plain words: make clips from a link, read them best first, find live clipping campaigns.
Every paid plan also comes with a REST API and API keys, for n8n, Make, Zapier or your own app, described in one OpenAPI 3.1 document.
Not past the second one. Their published tiers are three hours of AI analysis at $20, five at $32 and five again at $48 - the top tier adds unlimited seats and ten social accounts rather than more video. Above that it is Enterprise, priced on request.
OpusClip, because their Pro tier is sold in repeatable packs, and Vizard, because the bundle size is chosen from a dropdown with no published ceiling. On SnapDub the allowance climbs with each tier and you can top up on any plan.
SnapDub's free plan is 500 credits to start with no card, the editor included and nothing deleted afterwards. Choppity's free tier is one hour of analysis and it removes projects after three days.
Choppity publishes an API of its own on its $32 tier, and that is a genuine reason to stay with them. It is the one thing on this page most of the category does not offer.
An hour of source video read by their AI, not an hour of finished clips. It is the same axis as minutes of upload elsewhere, just counted in hours.
Somebody else's prices, so they carry their name and the date we read them.
Pricing pages change without notice, and in this category they change fast: Klap stopped selling minutes and started selling clips between two of our own checks. If you are reading this long after the dates above, open theirs before deciding anything on ours.
Start free, no card, and your first recording runs whatever it costs.
