OpusClip pricing plans and what you'll actually pay in 2026
OpusClip turns long-form recordings into captioned social clips using AI. The free plan includes 60 processing credits a month, while the Starter plan costs $15 a month for 150 credits and the Pro plan costs $29 a month for 300 credits. OpusClip charges one credit for each minute of original video processed, so a 30-minute podcast uses 30 credits whether it produces one clip or 15. You can forecast your actual plan cost by totaling source-video minutes before comparing feature lists or output-clip counts. Choose OpusClip for recurring video repurposing, and select a plan that fits the amount of footage your team produces each month.
Key takeaways
Four weekly 60-minute podcast episodes use 240 credits, which exceeds Starter’s 150-credit monthly allowance.
Pro annual costs $174 for 3,600 credits, less than Starter’s $180 cost across 12 monthly payments.
Annual subscribers have a 12-month window to use credits for seasonal or uneven workloads, while monthly credits expire after 60 days.
OpusClip lets podcast teams forecast clipping costs by source minutes, while Creatify supports paid-ad creative testing.
What OpusClip is
OpusClip sells a repurposing workflow for teams that already have long-form recordings. The platform accepts YouTube links and local uploads, while paid plans add Google Drive, Vimeo, Zoom, Rumble, and StreamYard. The Starter plan supports short-form publishing through AI clipping, animated captions, and an editor. OpusClip repurposes existing long-form recordings into short clips for podcast, webinar, and interview distribution.
The credit system, explained
OpusClip charges for input duration rather than the number of clips it creates. OpusClip Help states that a 30-minute original video consumes 30 credits. OpusClip rounds partial minutes down, with a one-credit minimum: videos under one minute cost one credit, and a 4.5-minute video costs four. You can estimate processing use before uploading by adding the whole-minute lengths of the source files you select.
Action | Credit cost | Planning implication |
|---|---|---|
Process imported source video | 1 credit per original-video minute | Source length, rather than clip count, sets the base cost |
Process a video under one minute | 1 credit | Very short uploads do not use fractional credits |
Process a partial minute | Whole minutes rounded down | A 4.5-minute source uses 4 credits |
Publish or schedule one clip to X | 1 credit | X scheduling belongs in the monthly forecast |
Monthly-plan credits expire after 60 days, while annual-plan credits remain valid for 12 months from grant. OpusClip refunds one credit when an X post fails or when you delete a scheduled X post. OpusClip stops processing when the credit balance reaches zero and describes no automatic overage charge. Processing stops at zero credits and requires additional plan capacity before more footage can be processed. That stop protects a fixed budget, although it can interrupt a production day when your source-minute estimate is too low.
OpusClip plan pricing in 2026
OpusClip ranges from a free plan for evaluation to custom-priced Business plans for team operations, with Starter and Pro plans for individual clipping and recurring publishing. The official pricing page lists the free plan at $0, the Starter plan at $15 monthly, and the Pro plan at $29 monthly or $174 annually; the Business plan has custom pricing. Annual Pro advertises an effective monthly rate of $14.50 and savings of up to 50%. The main price jump buys more credits: Starter includes 150 a month, while Pro includes 300 a month and adds a yearly billing option.

OpusClip pricing page featuring Starter, Pro, and Business subscription plans for individual and team creators.
Free ($0/month)
The free plan provides 60 monthly credits for one user and requires no credit card. Free exports carry a watermark, editing is unavailable, and clips and media become non-exportable after three days. You can process enough material to judge the clipping quality, caption styles, and basic workflow before spending money. The 60-credit allocation can cover an hour of source video, although the watermark and three-day access window rule out dependable public publishing.
Starter ($15/month)
The Starter plan gives a solo creator watermark-free exports at the lowest paid price. Starter includes 150 monthly credits, editing, and basic social posting. The plan costs about $0.10 per source minute: $15 ÷ 150 credits = $0.10. OpusClip sells the Starter plan only on monthly billing, with 150 credits for up to 150 minutes of footage.
Pro ($29/month or $174/year)
The Pro plan gives recurring long-form publishers 300 monthly credits or 3,600 annual credits. Annual Pro costs about $0.048 per source minute: $174 ÷ 3,600 credits = $0.048. Monthly Pro doubles Starter’s processing allowance to 300 credits and includes two seats. Pro adds two seats, multi-aspect exports, and a scheduler. The scheduler supports YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok. It also supports LinkedIn, Facebook, and X. The plan includes AI B-roll, Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve exports, and 100 GB of storage. A weekly publisher can keep clipping and publishing in one workspace rather than adding a separate scheduling tool.
Each Pro pack bundles 300 monthly credits with two seats. OpusClip’s plans documentation says that each Pro pack adds 300 credits per month and two seats. The documentation says buyers cannot purchase credits and seats separately, while standard Pro scaling supports up to four seats through two packs. Your team should total shared footage and headcount before adding a pack because an unused seat does not become extra processing capacity.
Business (custom pricing)
The Business plan handles teams that exceed Pro’s seats, integration options, or service boundaries. Business includes customized credits, customized seats, and customized social connections. Business provides full API access, custom integrations, and dedicated storage. The Business plan gives agencies custom team capacity and contractual support through a quote.
What you'll actually pay
A light creator can remain on Starter when monthly source footage stays below 150 minutes. A creator processing two 45-minute videos and four 10-minute interviews uses 2 × 45 + 4 × 10 = 130 credits per month. The Starter plan covers that workload for $15 and leaves 20 credits for another short source or an X scheduling action. You pay the advertised Starter price only when your input footage fits its allocation.
A weekly one-hour podcast exceeds the Starter plan's 150-credit monthly allowance. Four weekly 60-minute episodes use 4 × 60 = 240 credits in a 30-day month. The Starter plan falls 90 credits short, while monthly Pro leaves 60 credits after the same workload. The actual self-serve purchase for this cadence is Pro at $29 a month. Source minutes point to Pro before feature differences enter the decision.
A stable yearly schedule makes annual Pro cheaper than keeping Starter for 12 months. Pro annual provides 3,600 credits, or 60 hours of source video, for $174 upfront. A creator who processes 240 minutes a month uses 240 × 12 = 2,880 credits each year. That creator retains 720 credits after covering the projected workload, while Starter costs 12 × $15 = $180 and cannot cover the monthly workload. The annual commitment pays off when the footage calendar supports regular publishing.
A two-person team can need a Pro pack even when its members fit the base seat count. Two people who each process 180 source minutes use 180 + 180 = 360 credits per month. Base Pro provides two seats but only 300 credits, while one additional pack adds 300 credits and two more seats. The team buys the pack for footage capacity rather than for extra collaborators.
Who each plan is right for
The free plan fits occasional testing because watermarking, no editor, and three-day project access limit published work. The Starter plan gives one person 150 source minutes of monthly processing and watermark-free social publishing. Pro annual fits active creators who process weekly 45- to 60-minute videos, while monthly Pro fits the same workload when an annual commitment does not fit. Business fits agencies that need custom credits, larger teams, and full API access. Compare monthly source minutes with Starter’s 150 credits and Pro’s 300 credits before evaluating team features.
OpusClip compared with Creatify
OpusClip processes existing long-form media into short clips for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts. Creatify turns product materials into paid ads. Creatify supports paid-ad workflows across Meta, YouTube, and TikTok, with tools for creative variants and performance ads. OpusClip repurposes existing podcast and webinar recordings for organic distribution, while Creatify generates product-led ads and supports their paid-campaign performance workflow. Both products use credits and create video, although their credits measure different work. OpusClip fits podcast and webinar repurposing, while Creatify fits product-led paid-ad generation.
Close
A creator with a stable weekly long-form schedule can spend $174 annually on Pro and receive 3,600 processing credits upfront. The annual Pro plan's 3,600-credit pool covers a stable publishing volume of roughly 240 to 260 source minutes a month. Choose Starter only below 150 minutes, and choose Creatify when your team needs to make and test paid ads rather than clip recordings. Add the minutes in each month’s source-video schedule to determine whether Starter’s 150 credits or Pro’s 300 credits covers the workload.
FAQs
How many credits does OpusClip use—per clip or per minute of video?
Per minute of original video. OpusClip charges 1 credit for each minute of source footage you process (with partial minutes rounded down, and a 1-credit minimum for videos under 1 minute).
Can I estimate what I’ll pay before uploading my footage?
Yes. Add up the total length (in whole minutes) of the source recordings you plan to process in a month, then compare that total to your plan’s included credits/allowance.
Why might my credits run out even if I only post a few clips?
Because credits are based on source-video duration, not the number of output clips. Processing one long podcast counts the full source minutes whether you publish 1 clip or 15 clips.
Do credits expire?
Monthly plan credits expire after 60 days. Annual plan credits stay valid for 12 months from when they’re granted (useful for seasonal or uneven workloads).
What’s the main difference between Starter and Pro pricing in 2026?
Starter is $15/month for 150 credits (solo, no watermark, with editing). Pro is $29/month for 300 credits (or $174/year for 3,600 credits) and adds more seats plus extra publishing/scheduling features and multi-aspect exports.
