The lowest paid price is $15 a month on Starter, and there is a Free plan below it. Four facts decide most buying choices.
Starter, billed monthly only. Pro is $29 monthly or $14.50 a month billed yearly.
Free 60, Starter 150, Pro 300. Unused Pro credits roll over for 2 months.
60 credits a month, a watermark, and clips stop being exportable after 3 days.
Starter and Pro show "Start your free trial" with "No credit card required." but no trial length.
Starter costs $180 a year because it is monthly only, and Pro is $348 a year monthly or $174 billed yearly. The full bar is the yearly cost on monthly billing; the hatched part is Pro billed yearly.
A credit costs $0.048 to $0.100 on the paid plans, so Pro billed yearly is about half the cost of the others. The page does not say how many credits one clip uses, so the figure below is per credit, not per clip.
Pro also says "Unused credits roll over for 2 months," which softens the cost of a slow month. Starter and Free credits carry no rollover note on the page.
Captions and reframing come with every plan, and the tiers differ in output, scheduling and team features.

Filled dot: the plan includes it. Open dot: it does not. Source: opus.pro/pricing, October 26, 2026. The page describes a few details inconsistently across its sections (Starter exports are listed with a 30-day limit while its media storage expires after 29 days), so confirm any specific feature there before you buy.
Pick the lowest plan that covers the output you need. The costly mistake is paying for scheduling and team seats you will not use, or staying on Free and losing clips after 3 days.
Opus Clip is one of several clipping tools, and the captions matter as much as the cut. FilmFont covers fonts for lower thirds and captions, and Nesyona compares the wider field in its AI video editing tools roundup.
Yes to a free plan, and the trial length is not stated. The Free plan is labelled "Free forever" with 60 credits a month, and the page warns "After 3 days, the clips will no longer be exportable."
Starter and Pro show "Start your free trial" with "No credit card required." Because the trial length is not spelled out, confirm it at signup, and download Free clips within the 3-day window.
Opus Clip is worth it when long videos regularly need cutting into shorts and the cost per credit stays under what your time is worth. The free baseline is the shorts and captioning built into YouTube Shorts and YouTube Studio's subtitles and captions tools, and W3C captioning guidance explains what good captions need to do.
Paid alternatives include VEED and CapCut, and Submagic prices by credit too: see our Submagic pricing breakdown and the captions comparison. Creators monetizing the clips should also read the YouTube Partner Program overview.
