EzClip vs Opus Clip
Two AI clippers that meter the same way — one credit per minute of source video — and price it very differently. Here is what each one gives you per dollar, checked against both pricing pages.
EzClip is the better buy when the job is turning long videos into scored, ready-to-post vertical clips: $19.99 a month covers 500 source-minutes, with a virality score and the reason on every clip, against Opus Clip's $15 Starter at 150 minutes or $29 Pro at 300. Opus Clip wins if you need several profiles per platform, team seats, AI voice-over, dubbing, stock B-roll or an API — EzClip has none of those.
Opus Clip (opus.pro, sometimes written OpusClip) is the biggest name in AI clipping and has the widest feature surface in the category. EzClip is a smaller, newer tool built around one loop: find the strongest moments in a long video, reframe them to 9:16, title and hashtag them, and post. Because both charge one credit per minute of source video, the comparison is unusually clean — the meter is identical, so the differences are price, what each plan unlocks, and what happens around the clip.
We build EzClip, so read the EzClip column knowing that. Every Opus Clip figure below was read off its live pricing page on the date under the table, and where Opus Clip doesn't publish something we say so instead of guessing.

QUESTIONS, ANSWERED.
Is EzClip cheaper than Opus Clip?
Per minute of video, yes. EzClip's Pro plan is $19.99 a month for 500 source-minutes, about 4¢ a minute. Opus Clip's Starter is $15 a month for 150 minutes (10¢ a minute) and its Pro is $29 a month, or $174 a year with 3,600 credits. Opus Clip's headline price is lower; EzClip's price per minute is lower, and both meter one credit per minute of source video.
Does EzClip have a virality score like Opus Clip?
Yes. Every EzClip clip shows a virality score and the reason it was picked, on every plan including the free trial job. On Opus Clip the virality score is a paid feature — the free plan's comparison table lists it as not included.
Which is better for Twitch and gaming clips?
Both handle gameplay, differently. EzClip's Streaming layout finds your facecam inside the 16:9 capture and composes it with the gameplay — stacked or in a corner — instead of cropping one away, and its Manual layout lets you draw the regions yourself. Opus Clip offers a screenshare/gameplay layout and dynamic layout switching. If you want control over how tightly the crop sits on you and how far into the action it pushes, EzClip gives you those dials.
Can I schedule posts with EzClip?
Yes. EzClip can post now or schedule up to 60 days ahead to TikTok and YouTube (Instagram Reels on Agency), with a list and calendar of what's upcoming and posted — from one connected account per platform. Opus Clip's Pro plan includes a social media scheduler and posting to multiple profiles per platform. If several profiles per platform are core to your workflow, Opus Clip Pro is the better fit.
Does either tool put a watermark on clips?
Opus Clip watermarks free-plan exports and removes the watermark from Starter upward. EzClip never overlays a watermark on the video: free renders end with a short EzClip card, and paid downloads are clean.
How do I switch from Opus Clip to EzClip?
There is nothing to migrate. Paste a YouTube link or upload the same source file (up to 3 hours) into EzClip, pick the content type, and download the clips or post them directly. Your first AI Clipper job on a free account is free, so you can compare the output on a real video before paying.
