The short version

OpusClip takes a long video and returns short vertical clips with captions burned in, each carrying a predicted virality score to rank what to post first. The free plan gives 60 processing minutes a month, but it watermarks every export and deletes the download link after three days, so it works as a trial rather than a tier you stay on. Starter at $15/mo removes the watermark and raises the allowance to 150 minutes. The credit model is the thing to understand before subscribing: one credit is one minute of the video you upload, not one minute of finished clip, so a 30-minute episode costs 30 credits regardless of how many clips it produces. That makes the cost predictable for a weekly long-form show and poor value for anyone feeding it lots of short footage. Pro at $29 doubles the allowance to 300 minutes. Note that OpusClip does not publish its annual rates anywhere public — the yearly option only appears once you are inside the subscription panel, so the monthly prices above are the only ones you can check before paying.

Limits worth knowing

  • Credits are spent on the length of the video you upload, not the number of clips you get out — a 30-minute podcast costs 30 credits whether it yields one clip or fifteen
  • Starter includes 150 processing minutes a month; Pro includes 300
  • Monthly credits expire after 60 days; annual credits last the full 12 months
  • Annual pricing is not published — it appears only inside the account's subscription panel, so the yearly rate cannot be checked before signing up
  • Free exports are watermarked and 9:16 only

Our assessment

How we judge

This part is our opinion, reasoned from the pricing above.

Worst for
Short source material. Because credits bill on upload length rather than output, processing a lot of brief videos burns the allowance faster than the clip count suggests.
Skip it if
You want control over which moments get cut. The virality score picks for you, and overriding it consistently means you are doing the edit twice.
Why switching cost is low
Clips export as ordinary MP4 files and the source recordings were always yours. Nothing is locked to the platform, so leaving costs you the workflow only.
