Opus Clip has made a name for itself in AI video clipping. However, many users find themselves looking for alternatives due to common pain points:
Lower-tier paid plans can feel limiting, quickly forcing you into more expensive options as your needs grow.
A feeling that you might be overpaying for the features and minutes you actually receive.
Essential tools for branding, specific aspect ratios, advanced editing, and team collaboration often require upgrading to higher-priced tiers.
For those needing automation, Opus Clip's "on request" API access can mean uncertainty, potential high costs, and barriers for smaller teams or developers.
If these limitations sound familiar, Swiftia offers a refreshing and powerful solution.

But the Swiftia advantage goes far beyond just minutes and cost. Our $9 Starter plan comes loaded with essential professional features that Opus Clip reserves for its more expensive $19 “Level 3” plan. With Swiftia, these are yours from day one:
This means you’re not just getting more processing time; you’re immediately equipped with tools for higher-quality, branded, and potentially automated video content, effectively saving you an additional $10 per month compared to Opus Clip for these capabilities.
For just $9 a month, Swiftia gives you more minutes, more critical features, and the power to automate, all while significantly reducing your per-hour costs.
We’ve seen how Swiftia’s $9 Starter plan delivers exceptional value. But what if your needs grow, or you require those “premium” features right from the start that Opus Clip gates behind higher tiers?
With Opus Clip, to access features crucial for professional output like custom branding, custom aspect ratios, AI B-Roll, silence removal, and workspace/team features, you’ll need to upgrade to their “Level 3” plan, priced at $19 per month for 300 monthly minutes – the same minutes Swiftia gives you for just $9.
To get a comparable feature set from Opus Clip, you’re looking at more than doubling your monthly cost from $9 to $19, without getting any additional processing minutes beyond what Swiftia already offers in its entry-level paid plan with those features included.
Swiftia believes essential tools shouldn’t be locked behind a significant paywall. That’s why our $9 Starter plan already includes full custom branding, custom aspect ratios, AI B-Roll, filler word/silence removal, direct API access (1 Key), 1 team member seat, and 300 processing minutes.
For users whose needs extend further, Swiftia’s Professional plan offers an unbeatable value proposition at $48 per month:
