  PricingQuso leads

  • Four tiers: a free plan plus three paid ones, monthly or annual
  • The free plan renews every month rather than being a one-off trial, so it is an allowance you can keep testing on
  • Credits are the axis — one credit is roughly one minute of processed video, and clipping, captioning and editing all draw on the same balance
  • Annual billing costs less per month and doubles the monthly credit allowance
  • Storage scales with the tier rather than being sold separately

• OpusClip

  PricingQuso leads

  • A permanently free plan, but a constrained one: watermarked output, no editing, and clips that stop being exportable three days after they are made
  • Paid tiers are credit packs, with the entry tier priced for individual creators and the next one for heavier use
  • Annual billing roughly halves the effective monthly price
  • A custom-priced tier sits above the listed plans for teams that need API access and dedicated storage

• Vizard

  PricingQuso leads

  • A free plan with a monthly credit allowance, 720p exports, one connected social account and three-day project storage
  • Paid tiers remove the watermark and raise exports to 4K, add connected accounts, and scale storage into the hundreds of gigabytes
  • Credits are minutes of uploaded video, so a plan is really a monthly upload budget and long recordings consume it quickly
  • Annual billing is discounted heavily, which is the version to compare against monthly rivals

• Submagic

  PricingQuso leads

  • No free tier — access is a trial and then a paid plan, which makes this the least testable of the four before you commit
  • Three listed tiers priced per member per month, plus a custom plan for larger teams
  • Because billing is per member, the effective cost scales with headcount rather than with usage alone
  • API minutes are metered separately and sold as add-on credit packs on top of a plan

Pricing summary

The structure is a free plan plus three paid tiers, and the thing worth understanding first is that the free plan behaves differently from most free tiers in this category. It renews its allowance every month instead of being a single trial balance, and it does not watermark the output or expire your clips as exportable files after a few days the way the best-known rival free plan does. What it does limit is the ceiling rather than the access: free renders at 720p and publishes to TikTok, while full definition, widescreen and square exports and publishing across six networks sit behind a paid tier. That makes free a genuine place to work from for a low-volume creator and a stopping point for anyone publishing across platforms. Paid tiers are metered by credits rather than by features, and the meter is worth reading carefully: roughly one credit is one minute of processed video, and clipping, captioning and editing all draw on the same balance. A month of heavy clip detection on long recordings and a month of polishing short clips with captions are therefore different purchases even though the tier is the same, and the credit allowance rather than the feature list is the number to size against your own footage. Annual billing does two things at once — it lowers the effective monthly cost and doubles the monthly credits — which is unusual enough to be worth checking on the official page rather than assuming, because it changes the arithmetic between monthly and annual substantially. Storage scales with tier instead of being sold separately. Two limits are structural rather than pricing: free-plan source material is retained for a week, so intermittent projects need to be finished or re-uploaded, and paid exports top out at 1080p. If 4K matters, this is not the tier structure that gets you there. Plan names and credit allowances in this category are restructured often, so confirm the current tiers on the official pricing page rather than working from any figure quoted second-hand.

• Clip detection with a virality score

  A long recording is analysed and the strongest moments are pulled out as short clips, each scored for predicted virality. Treat the score as a triage aid rather than an answer: its value is ranking twenty candidate moments so you review the best ones first, which is the genuinely tedious part of repurposing. It does not know your audience or your editorial line, so the score narrows the queue and you still make the cut. The developer-style equivalent is a linter that flags candidates rather than deciding the design.

• Word-level animated captions across a wide language set

  Captions are generated with word-level timing and styled with animation, with filler-word removal available on the higher tiers. Word-level timing is the detail that matters, because it is what keeps burned-in subtitles honest during fast speech and lets emphasis land on the right word. Filler-word removal does the first pass on the stumbles that make spoken content feel longer than it is, and for anyone publishing to feeds watched on mute, the captions are not an accessory to the clip — they are a large part of why it works.

• Auto-reframing for vertical and square feeds

  Clips are reframed for the aspect ratios the short-form platforms use, with exports in widescreen, vertical and square on paid tiers. This is the mechanical work that makes repurposing expensive by hand: a wide recording cut down to a vertical frame means tracking the subject and re-deciding the framing shot by shot. Automating it is the difference between posting three clips and posting fifteen, and the free tier keeps 720p vertical output so you can judge whether the framing decisions are good enough before paying.

• A scheduler and content planner in the same workspace

  Paid tiers publish and schedule to six platforms from one calendar, with a planner for mapping a month of content and analytics for reading how it performed. This is the capability that distinguishes the product from a pure clipper: the clip you just made is one step away from a posting slot rather than needing to be exported, renamed and uploaded elsewhere. Because the analytics sit on the same side as the scheduler, the feedback loop from how a clip performed back into what you clip next does not require a spreadsheet in between.

• A text-based editor, filler-word removal and a b-roll library

  CutMagic and the editor work on the transcript, so words and silences are removed as text rather than hunted for on a waveform, and an AI b-roll library fills gaps without leaving the project. Text-based editing is the fastest route to tightening speech-led footage, and it is what makes a clip usable rather than merely detected. The designer analogy holds: it is the difference between dragging layers on a canvas and editing the content model the canvas is rendered from.

• Brand kit and reusable templates

  Fonts, colours and logos are stored once and applied to clips and templates on the higher tiers, so output from a team looks like it came from one brand rather than from whoever made each clip. For anyone producing at volume this removes the per-clip styling pass that quietly consumes the time repurposing was supposed to save, and for agencies it is the feature that makes handing work between people safe. It also means the clips are recognisable in a feed, which is a distribution benefit rather than only an aesthetic one.

• Browser, desktop and connected publishing

  The workspace runs in the browser, with an advanced desktop editor on paid tiers, and publishes through connected social accounts. The browser-first default is what makes the product practical for collaborators who will not install anything, and the desktop editor raises the ceiling for people doing more than trimming. Connected accounts are a permission you grant deliberately, and the scheduler is only as useful as those connections, so it is worth deciding up front which networks you intend to publish to rather than connecting everything available.

1. 1

   Start from the file you would otherwise not have time to repurpose

   This class of tool only pays for itself on material that is long enough to contain more than one idea — a podcast episode, a stream, a webinar, a recorded interview. Feeding it a video you already know how to cut by hand wastes the credit and the review time. The decision worth making before you upload is whether there are three or more separable moments in the recording; if there are not, a manual trim is faster.

2. 2

   Review the scores as a queue, not as a ranking of quality

   A predicted-virality score is useful for deciding what to watch first and useless for deciding what to publish. It has no view of your audience, your brand or the argument the clip is making. Work down the list, keep what stands on its own without the surrounding ten minutes of context, and discard anything that only makes sense to someone who has already heard the episode. The most common failure of automated clipping is a technically strong moment that is meaningless in isolation.

3. 3

   Fix the captions before you judge the framing

   Captions are what most viewers will actually read, and they are where automated output fails most visibly: a name rendered wrong, an acronym mangled, emphasis landing on the wrong word during fast speech. Read them through once on anything that matters. This is cheap, and missing it is expensive on a published clip, because a wrong proper noun undermines the authority of the whole video. Fixing the text first also makes the caption animation easier to judge.

4. 4

   Budget the credit allowance against your real footage, not a video count

   Because roughly one credit is one minute of processed video and clipping, captioning and editing all draw on the same balance, the cost of a month depends on how much long footage you put through the tool rather than how many clips come out. An hour-long recording is an hour of credits before you have edited anything. Size the tier against your typical upload volume and check the allowance before a deadline week rather than during one.

5. 5

   Keep the free plan honest about its ceilings

   The free plan is genuinely usable, which is unusual, but it publishes to one network and renders at 720p. That is a fine place to learn whether the clip selection and captions are good enough for your material, and a poor place to run a multi-platform schedule from. Decide early which of those two you are doing, because migrating a worked-out workflow later is more annoying than starting on the tier you actually need.

6. 6

   Work out retention before you start an intermittent project

   Source material on the free plan is retained for a limited window, so a project you return to over several weeks may need re-uploading, which costs credits again. If your editing is spread out — a recording on Monday, captions on Friday — either finish inside the window or work on a plan whose storage matches your pace. This is the kind of limit that is invisible until it interrupts you mid-project.

• Podcasters and interviewers with a back catalogue

  A conversation-driven recording is the ideal input: multiple separable ideas, speech that captions handle well, and a wide frame that reframing can crop intelligently. The productive pattern is one episode in, several clips out, which is exactly the arithmetic the credit model is built around. The constraint to know is the 1080p ceiling and the credit cost of long recordings, both of which matter more as the back catalogue grows.

• Solo creators who are the entire content operation

  The case for consolidation is strongest here. Someone who is filming, clipping, captioning, scheduling and reading analytics is currently paying for several subscriptions and losing time to the seams between them, and this class of product removes the seams. The renewing free plan is unusually well suited to this kind of testing, because a solo creator can judge the output over a few weeks of real posting rather than in one sitting.

• Streamers and long-form video producers

  Streams and long videos are the format the product was built around, and the payoff is turning one session into a week of posts without a second editing pass. Clip detection does the first sweep, reframing handles the vertical formats the feeds want, and the scheduler moves the results into posting slots. The thing to watch is that stream footage is high-volume, so credit allowances expire faster than the episode count suggests.

• Small marketing teams publishing across networks

  One calendar and one credit balance across clipping, captioning and publishing is the practical argument for a small team, augmented by a brand kit so that output looks consistent whoever assembled the clip. For a team that already understands its channels, this removes the coordinating work of moving files between specialists. It is a poorer fit for teams needing review workflows, granular roles or 4K masters, which is where the category starts needing broadcast-grade tooling instead.

• Anyone who used Vidyo.ai and wants to know where it went

  This is a specific and real audience. The product was renamed in January 2025 and, unusually for a rebrand, the login, subscription, credits and projects all carried across with the pricing unchanged. If you are looking for Vidyo.ai because it seemed to disappear, you are looking at its continuation rather than at a replacement, and the same product now carries a scheduler, planner, analytics and brand kit that the older name did not. Confirm the current state of your own account through the official help centre rather than a third-party page.

A repurposing workspace, not a video editor

The input is long footage and the output is short clips, so it is the wrong tool for producing a long-form deliverable. The editor and the desktop app exist to finish clips rather than to replace a timeline-based editor, and features such as multicam switching, professional colour grading and frame-accurate keyframing are outside its scope. If you need those, the clip workflow can still sit in front of a professional editor, but the finishing happens elsewhere.

The current name of the product that was Vidyo.ai

The rename happened in January 2025, and the published rebrand notice states that the login, plan, credits and projects carried over unchanged, with the same team building the product. That matters for anyone following an old link or help article: the product is continuous rather than a successor, and legacy references to the former name describe the same service. Confirm anything account-specific through the official help centre, since pricing pages and plan names in this category change more often than the product does.

Credits meter minutes of processed video across several operations

Clipping, captioning and editing all draw on one monthly balance, and roughly one credit corresponds to one minute of processed video. The consequence is that the expensive variable is the length of the footage you put in rather than the number of clips you take out, so two months on the same tier can feel very different depending on what you fed it. Budget against your typical recordings rather than against a clip count.

The paid export ceiling is 1080p

Free output renders at 720p and paid tiers reach 1080p, in widescreen, vertical and square. This is the clearest structural limit against the alternatives, several of which export at 4K. For social feeds, which are dominated by vertical video watched on phones, 1080p is generally sufficient and uncontroversial; for anything destined for a large screen, a master cut, or a client who specifies a resolution, it is a disqualifying constraint and worth knowing before you build a workflow around it.

Cloud processing with an explicit consent step

Media is processed remotely, and the privacy policy states that anonymised data is shared with third-party AI models for features such as transcription, with a consent checkbox presented when you upload. Data received through Google APIs is covered by the Google API Services User Data Policy, including Limited Use. You retain ownership of what you submit and grant a licence to process it in order to provide the service, and responsibility for holding the rights to the material is yours. The published policy sets the minimum age at 13.

What it does not do

It is not an offline or on-device tool, so footage that cannot leave your machines is out. It does not export above 1080p. It does not offer a permanent unmetered free plan — the free tier is an allowance, and clipping, captioning and editing all spend it. It is not built for long-form output or for finishing work. And it does not decide what a good clip is: it ranks candidates, and the editorial judgement of whether a moment stands alone remains with you.
