Which Opus Clip plan should you choose?

The choice is mostly about the watermark, posting, the scheduler and whether you pay yearly.

Which Opus Clip plan to choose

  • Choose Free if you want to try it on a few videos and can live with a watermark and a 3-day download window.

  • Choose Starter if you want clips without a watermark, want to post to YouTube Shorts, TikTok and Instagram from the app, and prefer to pay month to month.

  • Choose Pro if you also post to LinkedIn, Facebook or X, want the scheduler, more AI b-roll or a team workspace, or pay yearly and get it for $14.50 a month.

Where Cutroom fits

Opus Clip turns long videos you already have into short clips. Cutroom edits a short clip you film on purpose for an ad.

  • You upload one clip of yourself talking, up to 3 minutes long.
  • Cutroom adds an opening headline and captions timed to your voice, and on Punch and Native it shortens the pauses. It plays short stock clips (b-roll) over the words you pick.
  • A 30-second ad uses 110 credits. On Basic that is about $1.82 an ad, 22 of them a month.
  • Lite is $19.99 a month for 1,250 credits, Basic $39.99 for 2,500 and Premium $79.99 for 5,000. Basic adds music, at 50 credits for a track up to 60 seconds.
  • Opus Clip is the better choice if you already record podcasts, streams or webinars.
  • Your first video is free, with no card, and you have 7 days to make it. It carries a Cutroom mark; Lite removes it.
