What the other clip tools cost, and cap.
Five tools, read from their own pricing pages — longest video in, whether they stamp your export, and what happens to the price. It includes where we lose, because a comparison that does not is an advertisement.
| Tool | Free | Longest video in | Watermark | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shorts by Slice | 7-day trial, everything on, nothing stamped | 3 hours, 2GB | Never, on any plan | $14.99/month or $149/year |
| OpusClip | Free plan, regular speed | Not stated; uploads to 10GB | Yes on free | $15/month Starter, $29/month Pro |
| Vizardpartly unreadable | 60 credits a month, 720p | 10-minute exports on free | Yes on free | Not readable |
| Submagic | None listed | 2 min Starter, 5 min Pro, 30 min Business | No, on all tiers | $19 / $39 / $69 a month |
| Klap | None listed | Not stated | Not stated | $14 / $39 / $94 a month, billed yearly |
Shorts by Slice One subscription covers Shorts, Captions, Reframe, Podshare and Moodboard, and there is no monthly cap on clips or exports.
OpusClip On the free plan clips are watermarked and media "expires after 3 days" — the free tier is a demo rather than a working allowance.
Vizard Their pricing page renders every paid price as "$0" until you interact with it, so this page will not quote one. The free-tier numbers are from the same page and are legible.
Submagic The duration cap is the thing to notice: the $69 tier tops out at a 30-minute video. It is built for short videos, not for cutting an episode up.
Klap Priced by clips a month — 100, 300, 1000 — rather than by minutes in. Includes social accounts and analytics, which we do not have.
Where Shorts by Slice loses
It does not publish. No posting, no scheduling, no analytics. Klap has all three. If what you want is one window that cuts and posts, it is not this.
No b-roll. Submagic will drop stock footage over your words. We will not.
Fewer scripts. The caption fonts cover Latin and Hebrew. Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Hindi and Thai have no font installed, so they are not supported rather than badly supported.
You upload, rather than paste a link — in the browser, at least. The agent interface does take a YouTube or direct URL.
Where it wins
Length. 3 hours in, against a 30-minute ceiling on Submagic’s top tier. A 180-minute limit is built for episodes; a 2-minute one is built for videos that were already short.
Nothing stamped, ever. Not in the trial, not on any plan.
No monthly cap, and one subscription covers five tools rather than one.
Questions
Which clip tool takes the longest video?
Of these, Shorts by Slice, at 3 hours and 2GB, as of 21 September 2026. Submagic's top $69 tier caps the video at 30 minutes and its entry tier at 2. Vizard's free tier exports up to 10 minutes. OpusClip and Klap do not state a maximum on their pricing pages.
Which ones watermark your video?
OpusClip and Vizard watermark on their free tiers. Submagic says no watermark on all tiers. Klap does not say. Slice does not watermark on any plan, including during the free week — the only things over your video are a logo you placed yourself and an end frame you chose.
What does Shorts by Slice not do?
It does not post for you, schedule anything, or show you analytics — Klap does all three. It has no b-roll library; Submagic does. Its caption fonts cover Latin scripts and Hebrew, so Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Hindi and Thai are not supported and would render as empty boxes. And you upload a file in the browser rather than pasting a link, unless you drive it through the agent interface, which does take a YouTube or direct URL.
Is there a free tier?
No — a 7-day free trial with everything switched on and nothing stamped on the output. That is a deliberate choice against a permanently free watermarked tier: a watermark on a client's video is not a free plan, it is an advert you are hosting.
How current are these numbers?
Read from each company's own pricing page on 21 September 2026. Two of them would not give up a figure — Vizard's paid prices render as placeholders, Klap states no watermark policy — and those cells say so rather than borrowing from a review site. Clip-tool pricing changes often; check before you commit.
Shorts by Slice is $14.99 a month with a 7-day trial, takes mp4, mov or webm, up to three hours and 2gb. and never puts anything on your video. If one of the others fits you better, use it — that is what this page is for.
