OpusClip
Best for: Creators who already publish long-form video and want an automated shorts pipeline: AI clip selection, reframing, animated captions, and cross-platform scheduling from one tool.
Pricing: Free plan (60 credits/mo, watermarked), Starter $15/mo monthly only (150 credits), Pro $29/mo monthly or $14.50/mo billed annually ($174/yr, 300 credits/mo, unused credits roll over 2 months). Business custom pricing.
Check before paying: Free plan includes watermarks and clips expire after 3 days; paid plans remove the watermark. Starter caps at 150 credits/month; B-Roll, the scheduler, brand templates, and API access start on Pro (3,600 credits/year).
Pictory
Best for: Creators and marketers who want script-to-video production without a camera, and repurposing of existing long-form content into Shorts.
Pricing: Starter $29/month or $25/month billed yearly (200 video minutes a month, 2,400 a year on annual; 720 ElevenLabs voice minutes a year). Professional $59/month or $35/month billed yearly (600 video minutes a month; 1,440 ElevenLabs voice minutes a year). Team $199/month or $119/month billed yearly (1,800 video minutes a month). Enterprise is custom. A 14-day free trial needs no payment upfront.
Check before paying: Stock media library and narration voices are constrained by plan; credits cap monthly output. Output quality depends on script structure and source footage; AI editing still needs review.
Submagic
Best for: Creators and social teams who already have footage and want captioned, polished vertical shorts quickly.
Pricing: Starter is $19/month billed monthly or $12/month billed yearly (45 credits, about 15 videos, 2-minute videos). Pro is $39/month or $23/month yearly (120 credits, about 40 videos, 5-minute videos). Business + API is $69/month or $41/month yearly (300 credits, about 100 videos, 30-minute videos, 4K export). Prices are per member; a custom plan is available.
Check before paying: Plans cap video length at 2, 5 or 30 minutes, so long videos need the Business tier or a different tool. AI remove bad takes, remove silences and clean audio are listed on Pro and above, not Starter.
Vizard
Best for: Creators and teams that want a long-form-to-Shorts workflow with editing, captions, and publishing controls in one workspace.
Pricing: Free plan includes 60 credits per month, 720p exports, and 3-day storage. Paid Creator and Business plans remove the watermark and raise limits; verify live pricing before purchase.
Check before paying: The free plan exports at 720p, keeps projects for 3 days, and includes 60 credits per month. Vizard states that one uploaded video minute uses one credit; paid limits and live prices should be checked before purchase.
Klap
Best for: Creators and streamers who clip long videos often and prefer a predictable clip count per month over minute-based credits.
Pricing: Billed yearly: Basic $14/month (100 clips a month), Pro $39/month (300 clips), Pro+ $94/month (1,000 clips). Klap says yearly billing saves 50% against monthly. All plans include AI clipping, unlimited social accounts and analytics. A free trial needs no credit card.
Check before paying: The listed prices are yearly billing; monthly billing costs more and its prices are not shown on the pricing page Clip counts are monthly; heavy clippers need Pro+ or a custom plan
