Opus Clip pricing runs from a real free plan to $15 a month for Starter and $29 for Pro, with a custom-priced Business tier above them. Those are the monthly figures from opus.pro's own pricing page, checked September 2026. The page doesn't publish per-plan processing allowances, so treat checkout as the source for those. What it does publish is where the free plan stops, and that's the part worth reading before you upload anything important.
| Plan | Price | The short version |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | Basic clipping, watermark, exports expire in 3 days |
| Starter | $15 / month | The real product: advanced clipping, no watermark, posting |
| Pro | $29 / month | More of everything; allowances shown at checkout |
| Business | Custom | Teams and volume, via sales |
Is Opus Clip worth it in 2026
For turning long video into a stream of short clips, yes, it's the category leader for a reason, and it earned its slot in our best AI video editors list. The caveat is what repurposing can't fix. Opus Clip multiplies a video that already works. If your actual bottleneck is the edit itself, the silence, filler words and retakes that make the long video slow to finish, that's the cleanup pass, and it's what SilentCut is built for. Faster cleanup means more long videos finished, which gives a repurposer more to multiply. SilentCut isn't public yet. The order of operations stands either way. Fix the edit first, multiply it second.
What the free plan actually holds back
The free tier is a genuine demo of the workflow, with three catches stated on the pricing page itself. Your exports carry a watermark. The AI clipping runs on spoken words only, without the visual, sound and emotion detection the paid tiers use to find the hooky moments, and without virality scores. And the sharpest one, exports expire after 3 days. Miss the window and the clip is gone. Free is for finding out whether the workflow suits you, not for publishing a channel.
Starter vs Pro: where the money goes
Starter at $15 is where Opus Clip becomes the product people talk about. Watermark-free exports, the advanced clipping brain, virality scores, direct posting to Shorts, TikTok and Instagram, and imports from YouTube, Drive, Zoom and friends. For a solo creator repurposing one or two long videos a week, Starter is usually the whole answer. Pro at $29 buys more capacity and more of the extras, and the public page says notably less about it than about Starter, so read your own usage against the checkout numbers before paying double. Volume is the only reason to.
