Five tools, read from their own pricing pages and help centres — 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.

Which AI clip tool should you pick: OpusClip, Vizard, Submagic, Klap or Slice?

It depends on what you need after the cut. For posting, scheduling and analytics in one place, Klap has all three, and OpusClip and Vizard post and schedule. For the longest videos, OpusClip takes up to 10 hours, priced by the minute. For styling captions on short videos in many languages, Submagic. For many clips from long episodes at a flat price with nothing stamped, Shorts by Slice (ours): $14.99 a month as of October 2026. The other tools’ figures are as checked on 30 September 2026.

Shorts by Slice One subscription covers Shorts, Captions, Reframe, Podshare and Moodboard, with up to 6 hours of video and 100 clips a month.

OpusClip Priced by minutes of source video: 150 a month on Starter, 300 on Pro. Its help centre puts the longest video at 10 hours. On the free plan clips are watermarked and you have 3 days to export.

Vizard Its paid prices are now published: $29 or $39 a month, $174 or $234 a year. Paid plans get 600 credits a month and scheduling to 6 or 20 social accounts; the free plan exports 720p, up to 10 minutes, watermarked.

Submagic The plans cap how long a video can be, 2 minutes to 30. Clipping a long video is Magic Clips, a paid add-on at $19 a month for 10 uploads.

Klap Priced by clips a month: 100, 300 or 1,000. Its free plan is one video, and its tool page says it carries no watermark. Includes posting 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; OpusClip and Vizard post and schedule. If what you want is one window that cuts and posts, it is not this.

No automatic b-roll. Submagic and OpusClip will drop stock footage over your words. In Slice you place b-roll on the timeline yourself, from your own files or free stock.

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. Klap captions in 52 languages and Submagic in 123.

Upload only for now. Link import is paused, so a YouTube video, a Twitch or Kick VOD, or anything else, is a file you download and drop in.

Where it wins

Long episodes at a flat price. 3 hours a file, with up to 6 hours of video and 100 clips a month. OpusClip takes longer videos (up to 10 hours) but counts every minute against a monthly allowance, and Submagic’s plans stop at 30 minutes unless you add Magic Clips.

Nothing stamped, ever. Not on your free clips, not on any plan.

Five tools, one price. One subscription covers five tools rather than one.

Built by video editors. Each clip starts and ends where the thought does, and on a two-person video it cuts to whoever is talking, the way an editor would.

Questions

Which clip tool takes the longest video?

OpusClip, up to 10 hours per its help centre, as of 30 September 2026. Klap takes files up to 4 hours, and Shorts by Slice up to 3 hours and 4.5GB. Submagic's plans cap a video at 2 to 30 minutes; clipping a long one is its Magic Clips add-on. Vizard's free tier exports up to 10 minutes.

Which ones watermark your video?

OpusClip and Vizard watermark on their free tiers. Submagic says no watermark on all tiers. Klap's tool page says its free plan has none. Slice does not watermark on any plan, including your free clips — 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 does not add b-roll for you; 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 it takes no links for now, from YouTube or anywhere else: you upload the file.

Is there a free tier?

No free plan to keep. Your first video (we search the first hour) and first 2 clips are free, no card, with everything switched on and nothing stamped on the output. After that it is $14.99 a month. 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.
