Is Vizard cheaper than Opus Clip?

At the entry tier it looks that way: Vizard's lowest Creator tier is $29 a month with monthly credits listed as "From 600" (the page does not print the number beside the price), while OpusClip Pro is $29 for 300. OpusClip's Starter at $15 is the cheapest single plan of the two.

Which has the better free plan, Opus Clip or Vizard?

They are close. Both give 60 credits a month, a watermark and a 3-day expiry. Vizard exports at 720p, OpusClip at up to 1080p, but OpusClip's free plan has no editing.

Does Vizard or Opus Clip remove the watermark on paid plans?

Yes, both do. OpusClip lists watermark removal on Starter and Pro, and Vizard's Creator plan lists no watermark. Free-plan exports keep the watermark on both.

Both allow it for a while. OpusClip monthly credits expire after 60 days and yearly credits last 12 months. Vizard credits last 2 months on monthly plans and 13 months on yearly plans.

Can I get a refund from Vizard or Opus Clip?

Vizard vs Opus: how the credits behave

On OpusClip, processing costs one credit per minute of the original video. A 30-minute upload is 30 credits, partial minutes round down, and anything under a minute rounds up to one credit. Monthly credits expire after 60 days, which means unused ones roll over for one extra month. A yearly plan receives the whole year of credits at purchase, valid for 12 months.

Vizard counts the same way: one credit is one minute processed, and it is charged once per project even if you use both AI clipping and transcription on it. Each release of credits stays valid for 2 months on a monthly plan and 13 months on a yearly one. If you move from Creator to the Business plan, unused Creator credits do not roll over.

One trap: Vizard's own "Opus alternative" page prices the two at $14.5 per 600 minutes against $29 per 600 minutes, marked as updated in April 2025. OpusClip's pricing page today shows 300 credits per $29 Pro pack, so that comparison no longer lines up.

Where Opus Clip is stronger

Scoring and volume guidance. OpusClip documents a virality score from 0 to 99 on Starter and Pro, and publishes expected clip counts, for example 23 to 32 clips from a 30 to 60 minute video.
Where the video can come from. Free imports from YouTube and local files; Starter adds Google Drive, Vimeo, Zoom, Rumble and StreamYard; Pro adds Twitch, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, Dropbox, Loom, Riverside and more.
Extras around the clip on Pro: AI B-roll, social scheduling, speech enhancement, video dubbing, intro and outro cards, and export to Adobe Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve.
4K export on Pro, but only when the source video is genuinely 4K. It does not upscale.

Where Vizard is stronger

Price per minute at the entry tier, if the 600 credits belong to the $29 price as the page's "From 600" suggests. On that reading the same $29 buys about twice the minutes OpusClip's one-pack Pro plan does, by the vendors' own figures.
More transcription languages on paper: 40 listed on its help centre (page dated 4 February 2026), against OpusClip's over 25, of which five are out of beta.
Longer rollover on yearly plans: each release of credits is valid for 13 months, against 12 months on OpusClip.
A Business tier at $39 a month on the same usage tier, with a shared workspace and 20 connected social accounts, and extra team members at $5 a month per seat. OpusClip's Business plan is custom priced.

Worked example: four 60-minute episodes in a month

A weekly show with a one-hour episode needs 240 source minutes in a four-week month. This is arithmetic from the published rules, not a timed test.

Tool and plan	Allowance	Covers 240 minutes?	Left over
OpusClip Starter, $15	150 credits	No: 90 credits short	None
OpusClip Pro, $29	300 credits	Yes	60 credits, kept one extra month
Vizard Creator, lowest tier, $29	From 600 credits	Yes	About 360 credits, valid 2 months
KeyMo Starter, $12	300 source minutes	Yes	60 minutes, which do not carry over

A fifth episode brings the total to 300 minutes, which exactly empties OpusClip Pro and KeyMo Starter. Vizard's tier has room for a second show. If you only need to clip one hour a month, both free plans fit it, but the exports carry a watermark and expire after 3 days, which makes them a poor fit for anything you plan to post. Our guides on Vizard's watermark and OpusClip's watermark cover what each free export looks like.

Opus or Vizard: which to pick

Pick Vizard if you want the most minutes for about $29 and your files fit the upload limits you have confirmed with Vizard.
Pick OpusClip if you want its documented 0 to 99 virality score on each clip, many link sources, B-roll and Premiere or DaVinci export, or you want a $15 entry plan with a lower commitment.
Prompt-guided clipping should not decide this. Vizard's help centre describes asking for a topic, and OpusClip's pricing page lists Prompt to clip on Pro.
Pick KeyMo if the job is long podcasts to vertical clips and you want a flat monthly price with no watermark on any plan, a 7-out-of-10 score floor so weak episodes return fewer clips, and 12 caption styles. KeyMo has no free plan and no trial, and it exports 9:16 only.
If you are undecided between the first two, run your own episode through each free plan before paying either, and look at the watermark and the clip expiry date.
