Why people look for an alternative to OpusClip
- The free plan puts a watermark on every clip, allows no editing, and clips stop being exportable after 3 days. (source)
- The pricing page sells credits and does not say what one credit buys. (source)
- It is built to find and crop clips. Its own site calls it an AI video clipping tool, not an editor for the long video. (source)
