Crayo vs Opus Clip

Checked October 24, 2026

Checked October 24, 2026 for Crayo, on crayo.ai/pricing, with the annual discount shown. Opus Clip and CapCut are quoted from their listings. Opus Clip was last checked October 20, 2026. CapCut was last checked October 17, 2026, and that listing does not quote a Pro price.

A credit, and what it buys

Crayo charges one workflow credit per generated video. That includes a clip pulled from a long source, and a faceless short generated from a prompt. The pricing page does not list a free plan. With annual billing shown, Hobby is $13/month billed yearly at $160, for 250 credits, 2 hours of export, and 30 voiceover minutes. Clipper is $27/month billed yearly at $327, for 1,000 credits, 10 export hours, and 120 voiceover minutes. Pro is $55/month billed yearly at $664, for 3,000 credits, 30 export hours, and 180 voiceover minutes. The heading says annual saves 30%. The cards do not print a month-to-month price. Subscription credits reset and do not roll over. The FAQ says you own the videos.

Opus Clip, from the October 20 listing, meters credits rather than one credit per finished video. Free is $0 with 60 credits a month, a watermark, no editing, and clips that stop being exportable after 3 days. Starter is $15/month, monthly billing only, with 150 credits, and the trial does not ask for a card. Pro shows $29/month, or $14.50/month billed annually ($174 a year), for 300 credits. Unused Pro credits roll over for 2 months. Business is custom.

The free editor next to them

CapCut, from the October 17 listing, is a timeline with auto captions, and the editor is free. That listing does not quote a Pro price, because it varies by platform and region. Use it when you already know the moment and you want to cut it yourself. Crayo and Opus Clip are the tools that pick the moments.

Crayo is the wrong first test if you need a free export. Opus Clip Free will show you a watermarked clip, and that clip expires as an export after 3 days. Crayo's first export is a subscription. The yearly totals on Crayo's cards sit a few dollars above the monthly figure times twelve, so read the billed-yearly line before you pay.

Which show should open which app

A weekly podcast that needs a handful of captioned shorts, and you want to see the cut before you pay: Opus Clip Free, then Starter at $15 if the watermark has to go. Watch the clips. The score is a sort.

A channel that already knows it will pay, and wants one price for clips plus generated shorts, with the same tools on every plan: Crayo Hobby, and count videos rather than source minutes. The Short-form clipping list is the rest of the shelf, including the audiogram tools.

Questions

Is there a free way to clip a podcast with these two?

Opus Clip Free includes 60 credits a month. The clips are watermarked, cannot be edited, and stop being exportable after 3 days. Crayo's pricing page does not list a free plan. CapCut's editor is free, and you make the cut yourself.

What is a Crayo workflow credit?

One generated video. The pricing page names AutoClip, Reddit videos, and fake-text videos as examples. Hobby includes 250 of those a month on the annual card. They reset each billing cycle.

Why does Crayo's yearly bill not equal the monthly price times twelve?

The Hobby card shows $13/month and billed yearly at $160. Thirteen times twelve is $156. Clipper shows $27 and $327. Pro shows $55 and $664. Quote the billed-yearly line. The cards do not print a separate month-to-month price.
