OpusClip vs Vizard in 2026: which one clips better and what it really costs
Both charge $29 for their main monthly plan, but Vizard gives you at least 600 minutes for that and OpusClip gives you 300. If the question is cost per hour of footage, Vizard wins. If it is control over the clip (asking for a moment by prompt, handing the project to Premiere), OpusClip wins. Every price below was checked on the official pages on September 26, 2026.
Conflict of interest up front: I am the CTO of Cut.Pro, which competes with both. That is why the table only carries what their own pages say, with links, and every section says where each tool is better.
How much does each one cost?
Same billing model on both: 1 credit = 1 minute of uploaded video. What changes is how many credits each plan includes.
| OpusClip | Vizard | |
|---|---|---|
| Free | 60 credits/mo, up to 1080p, watermark, no editing, clips exportable for 3 days | 60 credits/mo, 720p, watermark, full editor, 10 min export limit, 3-day storage |
| Entry plan | Starter: $15/mo, monthly only, 150 credits | None |
| Main plan | Pro: $29/mo or $14.50/mo billed yearly ($174), 300 credits/mo | Creator: $29/mo or $14.50/mo billed yearly ($174), from 600 credits/mo |
| Team plan | Business: custom pricing | Business: $39/mo or $19.50/mo yearly, plus $5/mo per extra seat |
| Unused credits | Roll over for 2 months on Pro | Not stated on the page |
| Max export | 1080p on Starter | 4K on Creator |
| Social accounts | 6 connections on Pro | 1 free, 6 on Creator, 20 on Business |

The math that matters: on monthly billing, a minute on OpusClip Pro costs $0.097 (29 ÷ 300). A minute on Vizard Creator costs at most $0.048 (29 ÷ 600). Half. Someone uploading three three-hour streams a week burns about 2,160 minutes a month and outgrows both plans, but outgrows OpusClip much sooner.
OpusClip Starter is the only rung below $29 between the two. If you clip one hour-long podcast a week, 150 credits is enough and OpusClip comes out cheaper.
Where OpusClip is better
Prompt-based clipping. ClipAnything is, in OpusClip's words, "the only AI clipping model that turns any genre into viral clips in 1 click", and from the Pro plan up you can type what you are looking for ("every time he talks about money") and it searches by topic or prompt. Free and Starter only let you pick the time range and clip length. On long, scattered footage, that saves the most tedious part of the job, which is finding.
More import sources. YouTube, Google Drive, Vimeo, Zoom, Rumble, Twitch, Facebook, LinkedIn, Loom, Riverside and StreamYard are all on the list. If you record in Riverside or run webinars on Zoom, you send the file straight in.
A path to a real editor. Pro exports the project to Adobe Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve. For an agency that uses AI as the rough cut and finishes by hand, this is worth more than any caption feature.
Speech cleanup on the entry plan. Filler word and silence removal is already in Starter. Pro expands B-roll (AI-generated and stock) and adds dubbing and speech enhancement.
Where it falls short: the free plan allows no editing and clips drop out of export after 3 days. It shows you what the AI picks; it is not a place to work.
Where Vizard is better
Text-based editing. Vizard lets you trim by deleting words from the transcript, the way you would edit a document. For podcasts and interviews, where the right cut depends on where the sentence ends, that is faster than dragging a timeline.
More minutes for the same money. The point of the table. Also uploads up to 600 minutes long on Creator, versus 60 on free.
A usable free plan. The full editor, just at 720p with a watermark. You can learn the whole tool before paying.
Caption translation. 100+ target languages according to the homepage. The API docs list 37 source languages.
An open API on every plan, with rate limits per tier. In August the company launched Vizard Agent, with 22 clip templates (product ads, documentary style and more).
Where it falls short: there is no plan below $29, so a light user pays for minutes they will not use.
What about accuracy?
I am not publishing an error rate for either one, because I have not run a controlled test with the same audio through both, and an accuracy number without a method is marketing. What I can say from working on transcription: errors cluster in three predictable places, which are slang, proper names and overlapping speech. Test both with a clip of yours that has all three before you subscribe. Both free plans cover that test.
What about Twitch and Kick streams?
Neither follows a stream while it is live. OpusClip's livestream tool starts with "submitting a link to your Twitch or YouTube Livestream", which means it works on the VOD. Vizard takes Twitch links the same way. Kick is not mentioned on either page.
If you clip streamers, this matters more than price. A clip that lands two hours after the moment misses the window when the chat still cares.
Which one to pick
Pick OpusClip if you want to ask for moments by prompt, need to hand projects to Premiere or DaVinci, record in Zoom or Riverside, or clip little enough to fit in the $15 Starter.
Pick Vizard if you clip a lot of hours a month, edit conversation (podcasts, interviews) and would rather cut from the transcript, or want 4K export without a team plan.
Neither is a good fit if you need clips while the stream is still running, or if most of your content is in Portuguese or Spanish and you want support in that language.
That last group is where Cut.Pro comes in. It clips Twitch, Kick and YouTube streams in 10-minute batches while the broadcast is on, on every plan. Plus is R$69.90 a month with 1,000 credits, same 1 credit per minute rule. It publishes to TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X, LinkedIn, Bluesky, Pinterest and more. What it does not do: it does not publish to YouTube (YouTube is a video source), and it has no dubbing and no Premiere export. The head-to-head pages are Cut.Pro vs OpusClip and Cut.Pro vs Vizard.
The short version
- Same price on the main plan ($29), but Vizard gives you twice the minutes.
- OpusClip has the $15 Starter, prompt clipping on Pro and Premiere and DaVinci export.
- Vizard has text-based editing, 4K on Creator and a free plan with the editor.
- Neither clips a stream while it is live.
- Test accuracy with your own clip that has slang, names and crosstalk.
If you are still building the shortlist, the AI clipping tools ranking and the free tools we tested help narrow it down before you spend credits.
