autocaptionr vs Opus Clip

just want the
captions part?

Opus Clip is a great AI clipper. but if you already have a clip, you don't need the clipper — you just need captions. and a subscription.

tl;dr

these tools solve different problems. Opus Clip takes your long-form video and uses AI to chop it into shareable shorts (with captions thrown in). autocaptionr takes a video you already have and adds captions — nothing else.

Opus Clip's free tier exports with a watermark — to actually use the output you need Starter at $15/month (150 credits) or Pro at $29/month (3,600 credits/year). that's $180–$348 a year, every year.

if you already edit your own clips — or you only want captions on something you've already made — autocaptionr is the simpler, cheaper option. 2 free credits on sign-up (2 minutes of captioned video) — and unlike Opus Clip's free tier, no watermark. credits cost $0.10 per minute of video after that, the smallest pack is $9 one-time, and credits never expire.

when Opus Clip is the better pick.

autocaptionr doesn't try to do any of that — it just captions video.

why autocaptionr exists.

i wanted to caption a video and got stuck signing up for a $29/month subscription that bundled AI clipping, content calendars, and a dozen things i didn't ask for. i just wanted captions on one clip.

autocaptionr is what i wanted to exist. one job. one click. credits, not subscriptions.

common questions.

is autocaptionr an Opus Clip alternative? +
partially. Opus Clip's main job is turning long videos into short clips automatically. autocaptionr only adds captions. if you already have your clip ready — or you edit your own shorts — autocaptionr is the simpler, cheaper choice. if you want AI to do the clipping for you, stick with Opus Clip.
can autocaptionr clip a long video into shorts? +
no. that's intentional. autocaptionr does one thing — captions. for clipping, use a tool built for it.
what does Opus Clip cost? +
Opus Clip has a free tier with 60 credits/month, but exports are watermarked and capped at 1080p. To remove the watermark you need Starter at $15/month (150 credits) or Pro at $29/month (3,600 credits per year). Business pricing is custom. autocaptionr is pay-as-you-go: $9 for 90 credits, no watermark, no subscription.
why pay-as-you-go instead of subscription? +
because most people don't make videos every day. you shouldn't pay $15–$29 a month just so you can caption two videos. credits last forever, so you pay only when you actually need them.
can i use autocaptionr on clips i made in Opus Clip? +
yes. export the clip from Opus Clip, drop it into autocaptionr, and add captions. no account-linking or imports needed.

try it on one clip — free.

no card needed to sign up. 2 free credits on us, no watermark. smallest paid pack is $9. credits never expire.
