Is Klap or Opus Clip cheaper?

On sticker price Klap's Basic ($14 a month, yearly billing shown) is below OpusClip Starter ($15 monthly). They count usage differently, clips versus source-minute credits, so the cheaper one depends on your videos.

Does Klap or OpusClip handle longer videos?

OpusClip. Its help centre says videos up to 10 hours, while Klap's tool page says up to 4 hours in a single upload. OpusClip also lists a 10 GB local file limit, rising to 30 GB on Pro.

Which clip score is more useful, Klap or OpusClip?

Both are scores the vendors define themselves. Klap rates each clip from 0 to 100, and OpusClip from 0 to 99 for Starter and Pro users only. Neither page promises views, so use the score to sort clips, not to forecast results.

How many clips do Klap and OpusClip make from a one-hour podcast?

Klap expects 10 or more from a 30-minute video and 20 or more from 2 hours, and you can set a target. OpusClip's help page gives 23 to 32 clips for 30 to 60 minutes. These are vendor guides, not guarantees.

Can I upload my own file to Klap or OpusClip, or only paste a link?

Both take uploads. Klap lists MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, WMV and FLV files. OpusClip takes local files up to 10 GB, and 30 GB on Pro, and does not support local files with non-integer frame rates.

Is it worth comparing opus clip vs klap with a third tool like KeyMo?

If your show is a video podcast under 3 hours, yes. KeyMo prices by source minute, scores every clip out of 10 and keeps only strong ones. It lacks a free plan and any output ratio but 9:16.

Klap vs OpusClip at a glance

Both tools turn one long video into vertical clips with captions and a score. They count usage differently, which is why a plain price comparison misleads. All Klap and OpusClip figures below come from each vendor's own pages, read on 11 October 2026.

Price: clips against credits

OpusClip's help centre says processing costs 1 credit per minute of the original video, rounded down for partial minutes and up to 1 for anything under a minute. So Starter's 150 credits cover 150 minutes of source video, and Pro's 300 cover 300 per pack. Unused monthly credits roll over for one extra month, and yearly plans receive the whole year's credits upfront.

Klap's limit is clips: 100, 300 or 1,000 a month. Klap's pricing page does not say how many clips a minute of video uses, so the plan limit cannot be turned into a price per minute. Its tool page estimates 10 or more clips from a 30-minute video. Separately, Klap's own OpusClip comparison page describes its Starter plan as "10 × 45-minute videos / month" at about $0.03 a minute, a vendor claim that does not match the clip counts on its pricing page. OpusClip's help page expects 23 to 32 clips from 30 to 60 minutes and 42 to 55 from anything over 2 hours.

Per source minute, the published OpusClip figures work out to about $0.10 on Starter and $0.097 on monthly Pro. KeyMo works out to $0.04 on Starter and about $0.032 on Pro. Klap's pricing page gives no equivalent figure. For a weekly show worked through in dollars, see Klap pricing.

Free options and watermarks

Klap: one free video, no credit card, and it says it never adds a watermark, even on the free plan. It is a one-time allowance, not a monthly one.
OpusClip Free: 60 credits a month, clips rendered up to 1080p with a watermark, no editing, and exports stop working after 3 days.
OpusClip trial: new users get 7 days of Pro with 90 minutes of processing, per its homepage FAQ. Trial exports carry the watermark, and trial users cannot post to social media or bulk download.
KeyMo: no free plan and no trial. Every plan exports without a watermark.

What each tool takes in

OpusClip accepts videos up to 10 hours and a link from YouTube, Google Drive, Vimeo, Zoom, Twitch, Rumble, Dropbox, Riverside, Loom, StreamYard and others, which must be public or unlisted. Which link sources work depends on the plan: its plans article puts YouTube and local files on Free, adds Google Drive, Vimeo, Zoom, Rumble and StreamYard on Starter, and Twitch, Facebook, Dropbox, Loom and Riverside on Pro. Local files with non-integer frame rates are not supported.

Klap takes up to 4 hours and the same kind of links: YouTube, Vimeo, Twitch, Google Drive, Facebook, Dailymotion, Zoom, Loom and Riverside. Its podcast tool page says Klap works with video podcasts, not audio-only files. KeyMo takes MP4 or MOV from 5 minutes to 3 hours, and YouTube links up to 1080p on paid plans.

OpusClip: where it is stronger

Much longer inputs and a bigger link list than Klap or KeyMo.
Team features on Pro: a workspace with 2 seats, up to 4 with a second pack, plus export to Adobe Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve.
Square and 16:9 outputs on Pro. KeyMo does not make them, and the Klap pages we read list only 9:16.
A monthly free plan, though watermarked.

Klap: where it is stronger

A free video with no watermark, which is a cleaner test than OpusClip's watermarked free plan.
Lower entry price on paper, and a public API that Klap says is open to every plan, billed per operation. OpusClip's pricing page lists limited API access on Pro and API and custom integrations on Business.
52 languages for transcription and editing, against over 25 on OpusClip's list, where only English, German, Spanish, French and Portuguese are out of beta.

Where KeyMo changes the choice

KeyMo is narrower than both. It makes only vertical 9:16 clips, caps a source at 3 hours and has no free plan. In return, every clip carries a score out of 10 with a one-line reason, only clips scoring 7 or higher are kept, and there are 12 caption styles, a chat editor and a ZIP export. If you want predictable minutes at a lower price and would rather get fewer, vetted clips, that is the trade. See KeyMo vs OpusClip for the full list.

Which one to pick

Choose Klap if you want to test on a real video without a watermark, or you need a 4-hour source.
Choose OpusClip if your source runs longer than 4 hours, you need 1:1 or 16:9 outputs, or a team shares the credits.
Choose KeyMo if you upload MP4 or MOV podcasts under 3 hours and want a flat minute allowance.
If budget decides it, count how many source minutes or clips you really use in a month before choosing a plan.
