Face-tracking clip generator that keeps the speaker centered.
Podcasters on a budget
Choppity is one of the more honest podcast clippers — it leans into multi-speaker face tracking rather than trying to be a do-everything platform. The free tier is genuinely usable and the Starter plan at $2/mo is borderline absurd if you're price-sensitive. Brand polish and integrations lag, so agencies should still look at Vizard.
Choppity is built specifically for converting podcasts, webinars, and interviews into short vertical clips. Its calling card is multi-speaker face tracking — the AI detects who's speaking and switches the framing to keep them centered as conversation flows between participants. That's the actual hard problem of clipping Zoom or in-studio podcasts, and most generic clippers either lose track of the second speaker or refuse to switch shots cleanly. A 30-minute episode typically produces 10-20 clips, and a 2-hour one yields 30-50-plus, processed in roughly 5-15 minutes depending on length. The free plan lets you generate clips with a watermark and a few extra restrictions. Paid plans start unusually low at $2 per month for Starter, $4 per month for Creator, and $36 per month for the Team plan with collaboration. There's also Enterprise pricing for higher volume. For podcasters finding their feet financially, this pricing structure is hard to ignore — the $2 Starter is roughly an order of magnitude cheaper than equivalent entry tiers from Opus or Submagic. Where Choppity is weaker: brand kits are simpler than Vizard's, publishing integrations are fewer than Reap's, and the template aesthetic is functional rather than designed. Caption styles work but won't blow you away. Best fit is the indie podcaster cranking out short clips for organic social, or a small agency testing the workflow before committing budget. Larger operations with multiple brands or clients will outgrow the customization ceiling within a few months.

free tier exports include a watermark; brand kit and template depth is limited. None of these are deal-breakers on their own, but they're worth knowing before you commit.
