The short answer

A lower starting price
Clipex starts at $14 a month, or $9.88 a month billed yearly. Opus Clip's Starter plan is $15 a month and can't be billed yearly; its yearly pricing starts with Pro, at $14.50 a month.

You pay for the video, not the clips
Credits are charged on the length of the video you put in, by the second. Every clip you get back is included, and if you clip only part of a video, you pay only for that part.
Streams cost less
Twitch and Kick past broadcasts are charged at half the usual rate.
Top-ups that never expire
Credit packs from $5 stack on top of your plan and never expire. Your plan's credits are always used first.
Failed videos cost nothing
If a video can't be fetched or processed after three tries, the credits it reserved go back to your balance.
Cancel anytime
Billing runs through Whop, and you cancel from your Whop account.
What you can clip with Clipex
YouTube videos
Paste a YouTube link and Clipex fetches the video for you, with no download or re-upload. Or upload an MP4 or MOV.
Podcasts and interviews
The crop follows whoever is talking and holds still until someone else speaks. With two people on screen, the Split layout in the editor stacks them one above the other.
Twitch and Kick streams
Paste a Twitch or Kick past broadcast link and pick up to 3 hours to clip, from a stream up to 48 hours long. Streams are charged at half the usual rate. The Gaming layout puts your face cam above the gameplay.
Clips for every platform
Every plan exports 9:16 for TikTok, Shorts and Reels, 1:1 for the Instagram feed and 16:9 for YouTube and X, with seven caption styles to pick from. No watermark, ever.
How Clipex picks clips
Clipex reads the whole transcript and looks for moments that stand on their own: each clip keeps its setup and its payoff, and starts and ends on a full sentence. The crop moves to whoever is talking, then holds still until someone else talks. Captions are burned in, highlighted word by word and kept in the lower third, off faces. You get the moments worth posting, not filler to sort through.
How to switch from Opus Clip to Clipex
- Sign up and pick a plan. Plans start at $14 a month, and you can cancel anytime.
- Paste a YouTube link or a Twitch or Kick past broadcast, or upload an MP4 or MOV. Use a video you've already run through Opus Clip, so you can compare.
- Pick a caption style and a clip shape. To clip only part of the video, set the timeframe; you pay only for that part.
- Put the clips next to the ones Opus Clip gave you, and keep the tool you like best.
