Which Plan Do You Need?
Testing the Waters → Free Plan ($0)
Process up to 60 minutes of video per month. That's one long podcast or 2–3 YouTube videos. The watermark and 720p limit mean these clips aren't ideal for client work, but they're perfect for testing the tool and building sample portfolios.
First Paying Clients → Starter ($9/month)
You've landed your first clipping client. 200 minutes covers about 4–6 long-form videos per month. No watermark, 1080p exports — this is client-ready quality. At $9/month, a single $50 clipping job covers the cost for 5 months.
Running a Clipping Agency → Pro ($19/month)
The sweet spot for most users. 600 minutes handles 10–15 long-form videos monthly — enough for 3–5 regular clients. The virality score and brand kit features help you deliver more value and charge higher prices.
Scaling or B2B → Business ($49/month)
Unlimited processing, 4K exports, team access, and API. This is for agencies serving 10+ clients or businesses integrating Opus Clip into their content workflow.
Annual Discount
Opus Clip offers 40% off annual plans:
- Starter: ~$5.40/month (billed annually)
- Pro: ~$11.40/month (billed annually)
- Business: ~$29.40/month (billed annually)
If you're committed, annual billing nearly halves your cost.
The Math: What You Charge vs. What You Pay
| Your Plan | Monthly Cost | Videos You Process | What You Charge | Monthly Profit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $9 | 5 videos | $50/video = $250 | $241 |
| Pro | $19 | 12 videos | $75/video = $900 | $881 |
| Business | $49 | 30 videos | $75/video = $2,250 | $2,201 |
The margins are exceptional. Even on the Business plan, your tool cost is roughly 2% of revenue.
Is It Worth Paying For?
Compare Opus Clip to manual clipping:
- A freelance video editor charges $30–100 per clip
- Opus Clip Pro generates 15–30 clips per video for $19/month total
- That's $0.03–0.06 per clip vs. $30–100 with a human editor
If you produce even 5 short clips per month, Opus Clip pays for itself. For agencies producing hundreds of clips, the ROI is astronomical.
