Opus Clip
Fact sourceWhen to pick it Choose Opus Clip when long podcast or livestream footage has to keep turning into shorts and credit rollover matters: Pro gives 300 credits per month, carries unused credits for 2 months, and adds a 2-seat team workspace plus export to Premiere Pro / DaVinci Resolve.
When to skip it The Free tier watermarks output, blocks editing, and stops exports after three days, so it only validates topic cutting; Starter is documented as monthly-only, so annual billing means Pro (a single 174 USD payment per year). To edit a long video sentence by sentence from its transcript instead of cutting it into shorts, the closer directory record is Descript; for general editing with templates and auto captions, the closer record is CapCut. This is not a ranked review.
Verified price: Free 0 / month (60 credits / month); Starter 15 / month (monthly only, 150 credits / month); Pro 29 / month, 174 / year (annual billing view shows 14.5 / month, not the monthly price), 300 credits / month, unused credits roll over 2 months — USD / month; Business Custom pricing (region: not stated, checked 2026-10-12). Annual prices are not converted to monthly.

The Sora web and mobile apps stopped serving on 2026-04-26 and the Sora API stopped on 2026-09-24; the data export entry point is sora.chatgpt.com/sunset.
Fact sourceWhen to pick it Assets generated with Sora still need retrieving: use the export entry point sora.chatgpt.com/sunset given on the official discontinuation page.
When to skip it The web app and mobile app closed on 2026-04-26 and the API closed on 2026-09-24, so do not schedule new work on Sora; the official page says the related data is then permanently deleted. To keep a credits-based video supply where video and audio share one price sheet, the closer directory record is Runway; to keep using purchased credits, the official page states they still work for Codex, which is the OpenAI Codex record in this directory. This is not a ranked review.
