chopcast
Long videos into clips, billed by upload
chopcast takes a long recording and returns vertical clips with captions burned in, which is the same job several tools in this category do. What separates it is the meter: exports are unlimited and you are charged for the minutes you upload, so a heavily repurposed video costs the same as one clipped once. Coaches and interview shows fit the pricing best. The first hour is free to try.
Our note
Count your source hours rather than your clip count when picking a tier, since this is the rare tool in the category where making more clips from the same recording is free. A weekly hour-long show fits the entry plan with room, which is not true of most tools priced by export.

Zubtitle
Captions and resizing for social video
Zubtitle does one job and stops: upload a clip, get burned-in captions, a square or vertical crop and a progress bar, then download it. The free tier really does two videos a month with a watermark, which is enough to know whether the styling suits your channel. Anybody wanting a timeline and transitions is in the wrong tool.
