Priced by the stream hour
One unit, no credits. The free plan gives you real files. Paid plans cost more per month than some other tools, and below we say why and what we have not proven yet.

- Annual billing: pay for 10 months, get 12.
- Limits are hours of stream per month. Unused hours roll over for 2 months.
- Cancel in 2 clicks. No emails.
- Refund in the first 14 days for the hours you did not use. We give back the price of the hours you did not use.
What we promise about billing
These are the things that people complain about in public reviews of clip tools. We wrote them first.
- One unit: stream hours
- Every plan counts hours of stream that you upload, and nothing else. No credits, no clip counts, no fee for a game.
- Hours roll over
- Hours you do not use stay for 2 months.
- Cancel in 2 clicks
- Inside the app. No emails, no call.
- 14-day refund
- In the first 14 days of a paid plan you can ask for your money back. You get back the price of the hours you did not use, so a plan where you used a third of the hours gets two thirds back.
- A free plan that exports
- 2 stream hours a month, real MP4 files, a watermark. No card.

Our higher plans cost more
Creator at $35 and Pro at $69 cost more than StreamLadder's AI plans ($27 and $39) and more than Eklipse Premium ($24.99). We will not hide it.
What the extra money buys, as of today
- Picks from your voice and words
- Loudness and pace against your own level, plus an AI that reads the full transcript. It does not need chat or a list of games. This is how it is built. How good the picks are is the part we have not proven.
- The reason on every clip
- You see why each clip was picked. In our research we found no other tool that shows its reasons for each pick.
- Hours that roll over
- Unused hours stay for 2 months. Opus Clip reviewers report lost credits.
- A refund rule in writing
- 14 days, prorated. Reviewers of other tools report refunds that were refused.
What we have not proven
We have not run the blind test that rates whether people would post our clips, and we have run no head-to-head test against another tool. Until we have, you can call the higher price a bet on how it is built. Read our numbers, including the ones that failed.
