the unit$0.1 per credit · Starter plan, $15/month for 150 credits - the cheapest paid plan, and the cheapest that removes the watermark. Pro is $29/month for 300 credits per pack ($0.0967 a credit); a yearly Pro plan gives 3,600 credits for $174, i.e. $0.0483 a credit.

the meter1 credit per minute of the original video imported, videos under a minute rounded up to one minute

the sumRecovered on 14/9/2026, both halves. The pricing page read in a real browser now states the allowance - Starter $15/month, 150 credits/month - and the help centre states the rate: 'processing clips will cost 1 credit per minute of the original video imported', with 'videos shorter than 1 minute rounded up to the nearest minute'. A credit is therefore $15/150 = $0.10 and buys one minute of source video. The minimum billable job is one credit, so getting one vertical clip out of OpusClip costs $0.10. CAUTION, and it is the honest caveat on this number: OpusClip bills the length of what you feed it, not the number of clips it returns. Running a 30-minute podcast costs 30 credits, $3.00, and returns several clips whose number OpusClip does not publish. The $0.10 in the column is the floor - one minute of source - not an average over a long upload. PRICE PER SECOND (added 14/9/2026, at Daniele's request to reason in seconds). OpusClip's help centre declares the billing rate in time, not in clips: '1 credit per minute of the original video imported'. A credit is $0.10 on the Starter plan, so one second of source video costs $0.10 / 60 = $0.001667. This is the rate, not the floor: OpusClip rounds any job under a minute up to a full minute, so the smallest real invoice is still $0.10. The length of the vertical clips that come back is not declared anywhere, so it cannot be converted.

the verdictFAIR · middle third for this operation

the catchNot comparable in kind to Submagic, which charges per exported video whatever its length. The 'processing timeframe' slider lets you pay for only the part of a long video you want clipped. Partial minutes above one minute are rounded DOWN (a 4.5-minute video is billed as 4). Posting to X costs an extra 1 credit per clip published, refunded if the post fails. Monthly credits expire after 60 days; yearly credits arrive all at once and last 12 months. WHY THIS NUMBER IS NOT IN SECONDS OF FINISHED CLIP: OpusClip decides how long each vertical clip is and how many come back, and publishes neither. The billable unit is a minute of the video you upload, not a second of the video you get. The per-second figure in 1_sec_source is therefore the price of a second of SOURCE material; there is no official number that prices a second of finished clip, and none is invented here.
