A tool that watches for multi-kills and chat explosions is the right tool for a match and the wrong one for a two-hour conversation. The signal it is best at simply is not in the recording.
In their own words, the AI reads "gameplay patterns (kills, wins, achievements), audio spikes (excitement, laughter, rage), and chat sentiment". On a match that is a genuinely better instrument than anything on this page. On a podcast, an interview, a webinar or a Just Chatting stream there are no kills, no wins and often no chat, so the strongest part of the product has nothing to work with.
Premium processes three streams or VODs a day, each up to twelve hours. That fits a daily broadcaster perfectly and fits nobody who records in bursts: a weekend with six episodes does not get to borrow from the quiet Tuesday. It is a different shape of limit from everything else here, not a bigger or smaller one.
eklipse.gg/pricing leads into the signup rather than to a price list. For the record, the figures behind the wall are $24.99 a month, $119.99 for six months or $179.99 for a year, and the free plan is one stream a day, fifteen highlights, 720p, watermarked, with fourteen days of storage.
Say it plainly: on gameplay, nothing on this page competes. Game-aware detection across the titles they support, chat spikes as a separate signal, a voice command that marks a moment mid-stream without leaving the game, and Kick as a connectable source on Premium. If your material is still a match, staying is the right answer and this page is not for you.
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 | Built for talk: it reads what is said, how it sounds and what is on screen, and keeps the moments that stand on their own. Monthly credits rather than a daily ceiling, so a weekend of six episodes is allowed to be a weekend of six episodes. |
| OpusClip | $15/mo | Credits, one per uploaded minute, sold in packs that stack | The biggest name for talking-head material, and ClipAnything will also take a written instruction if you know exactly what you are hunting for. Their exports expire, so read the retention terms. |
| Klap | $29/mo | Finished clips a month, not minutes of source | Priced on what you take out, which suits a long broadcast cut down to a handful of moments. A six-hour stream costs no more to read than a short one. |
| Vizard | $29/mo | Minutes of upload, sold as a yearly credit bundle | Generous minute counts and 4K export. The bundle is bought a year ahead, which is the opposite trade from a daily ceiling and suits a steady schedule. |
| AutoClip | $19.99/mo | Credits, one per source minute, reset every cycle | Bills stream VODs differently from ordinary uploads, which is worth asking about if most of your source is still long broadcasts. |
| Submagic | $19/member/mo | Per member, per month, with a cap on how many people a tier allows | A captions-first editor. Worth it if what you liked about Eklipse was the finished look of the clips rather than how they were found. |
Ours is €12 for about 200 minutes of source with the clips and captions included. Run your own month through the calculator.
Plenty of channels are half gameplay and half talking, and the honest answer there is that one tool will be wrong for one half. Decide by which half you actually post from. If the clips that travel are the plays, keep the game-aware tool. If they are the stories between the matches, the detection you want is the one that reads speech and the picture.
Clipping a Twitch stream for TikTok covers pulling a VOD across, including the part where a broadcast is still running, and SnapDub next to Eklipse puts the two side by side row for row.
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.
It is built around game streams and says so: the detection reads in-game events, audio spikes and chat. Their own FAQ says people also use it for Just Chatting and reaction content, but the strongest signal it has is the one a podcast does not produce.
$24.99 billed monthly, $119.99 for six months or $179.99 for a year, and the prices are only shown once you have an account. The free plan is one stream a day, fifteen highlights, 720p and watermarked.
How many broadcasts or VODs are processed in a calendar day, each up to twelve hours long. It does not roll over, so an unused day is gone. Everything else on this page is limited monthly instead.
Klap, because it charges for finished clips rather than for reading the source, and AutoClip, which bills stream VODs differently from uploads. On SnapDub a long broadcast costs what it costs to read, so clipping the segment you care about is the cheaper habit.
On Eklipse, yes, on Premium. On SnapDub, yes on every plan: paste the Kick link like a YouTube, Twitch, Rumble or Zoom one. What SnapDub does not do is watch a Kick channel for new streams - auto-import follows YouTube and Twitch.
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.
