OpusClip vs Vizard Comparison 2026
OpusClip picks moments from a long recording, reframes them vertically and captions them, free with a watermark, then a flat $15 a month for Starter, with no annual option mentioned. Vizard does the same job and adds a suggested title per clip, free for 60 credits a month at 720p, then $29 a month if paid monthly, or $174 billed yearly, which works out to $14.50 a month at a 50 percent discount its own page currently shows. Paid monthly, OpusClip is cheaper by a wide margin; paid annually, Vizard's promotional rate undercuts it slightly. Both meter credits by minutes of source video rather than clips produced, so a three-hour stream costs more than a fifteen-minute one on either.

OpusClip
One long video into captioned vertical clips
OpusClip picks moments from a long recording, reframes them vertically and adds captions. The selections are decent rather than inspired, so treat the output as a first pass. It saves hours on a weekly show.
Our note
Worth it if you publish a long show weekly and nothing else. The selections are a decent first pass rather than good taste, so budget time to throw half of them away, and do not let it post straight to a channel unattended.

Vizard
Long video cut into clips by AI
Vizard takes a webinar, podcast or stream and returns vertical clips with captions and a suggested title, picking the moments itself. The editing that follows is timeline work rather than a rebuild. Credits meter minutes of source video, and the free tier's export is capped at 720p, which shows on a phone screen.
Why people weigh these two
- Vizard instead of OpusClip
- Vizard from $29 with a free tier meters credits by source length, which suits a long recording more than a clip count.
- OpusClip instead of Vizard
- OpusClip turns one long video into captioned vertical clips too, with a free tier and plans from $15, close to half of Vizard's price for nearly the same pitch.
Which one should you pick
Pick OpusClip if you would rather pay monthly with no commitment: Starter is a flat $15 a month, and clips export as MP4 or straight into a Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve project for further editing.
Pick Vizard if you are willing to commit annually and want the lower effective rate: $174 a year works out to $14.50 a month at the current 50 percent discount, cheaper than OpusClip's monthly price, though that discount is described as a current promotion rather than a standing rate. Vizard also adds a suggested title per clip and team seats at $5 each on its second tier, useful if more than one person is publishing.
Common questions
- Which is cheaper, OpusClip or Vizard?
- It depends on billing. OpusClip is a flat $15 a month with no annual option mentioned. Vizard is $29 a month billed monthly, or $174 a year, about $14.50 a month, at a 50 percent discount its page currently shows, undercutting OpusClip only if you commit annually.
- Do both meter usage the same way?
- Both bill in credits tied to minutes of source video rather than clips produced, so a long stream costs more than a short one on either. Neither listing states an exact minutes-per-credit rate, so compare your own weekly recording length against each free allowance before choosing.
- Does Vizard's discount ever go back to full price?
- That is not stated definitively, but the pricing is explicitly described as currently discounted 50 percent off list, so treat the lower rate as a present promotion rather than guaranteed pricing going forward.
- Which hands off better to a real video editor afterward?
- OpusClip exports directly as a project file for Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve. Vizard's listing describes the follow-up editing as timeline work within its own tool rather than an export into another editor's project format.
