Long videos cut into shorts, priced per clip
Klap takes a long video and returns vertical clips with the speaker tracked and subtitles burned in. The plan you buy is a number of clips a month rather than a number of hours uploaded, which is the honest way round for anyone whose source videos are long. There is no free plan, so the first look costs money.
Our note
Buy this one when your source material is long and your output is steady. If either is uncertain, 2short.ai's free tier answers the same question for nothing, and OpusClip is the better-known option with a wider set of editing controls.

Clips cut from streams and long video
Spikes Studio finds the moments worth posting in a long recording and cuts them into vertical clips with captions burned on. Plans are metered in minutes of source video a year rather than in clips, so a weekly four-hour stream is the thing to measure before choosing a tier. Free output carries a watermark and stops at 720p, which makes the free plan a demo rather than a workflow.
Our note
Measure your weekly recording hours against the annual minute allowance before picking a tier, because 3,600 minutes a year is only about an hour a week. The watermark makes the free plan a demonstration rather than something to publish from.
