OpusClip Pro is $29 a month for 300 source minutes, and Starter is $15 for 150. BlitzReels Starter is $29 for 250 credits. A 60-minute linked video with 10 one-minute clips uses 60 OpusClip credits or 90 BlitzReels credits, about $10.44 on BlitzReels Starter. ### Does BlitzReels do everything OpusClip does? No. BlitzReels has no free plan after its trial, no Premiere or DaVinci export, and no Twitch, Zoom or Riverside link import. Scheduling starts at Growth. OpusClip has each of these at a lower price. ### What does BlitzReels add? Watermark-free 4K on its entry plan, a timeline editor on every paid plan, 35+ caption languages, and image, video, voice and music generation in the same workspace. Check these against the clips you make before you pay. ### Does BlitzReels have a free plan? It has a 7-day trial with no card: one video of up to 60 source minutes, 3 clips, and 3 watermarked 720p exports of up to 3 minutes each. After that you need Starter. OpusClip keeps a free plan with 60 credits a month. ### Can I clip videos from a link? Yes. BlitzReels takes links from YouTube, Vimeo, Instagram, TikTok, X and Facebook, plus file uploads. Clip only videos you are allowed to clip, and read the campaign rules before you post. ### Have you tested the two tools side by side? Not yet. This page compares published plans, documentation and user reviews. It makes no claim about which tool picks better clips, so run the same video through both. ### How do I switch from OpusClip to BlitzReels? Download any clips you want to keep, because OpusClip says projects become inaccessible 3 days after cancelling. Then start the BlitzReels trial with one video you have already clipped and compare the results. ## Sources - [OpusClip pricing](https://www.opus.pro/pricing) - [OpusClip credits](https://help.opus.pro/docs/article/how-are-credits-consumed) - [OpusClip plans](https://help.opus.pro/docs/article/plans-and-credits) - [BlitzReels plans](/pricing)
