Klap's pricing page shows no monthly-billed price. Basic is $168 up front.
The short answer
Klap's pricing page lists Basic at $14, Pro at $39 and Pro+ at $94 a month, all billed yearly, for 100, 300 and 1,000 clips a month; it does not show a monthly-billed price. That makes Klap cheap per clip if you take a few clips from very long footage and commit for a year. Cliphi's $9.99 plan, billed monthly, covers a weekly podcast or a daily short with credits to spare, and every feature is on the $4.99 plan. On Trustpilot, Klap's recurring complaints are about the yearly charge and cancelling.
Pick Cliphi if
- You post several clips per video and want a monthly bill with no yearly commitment.
- You want livestream clipping, reactions, a music library, or an agent API.
- You want unused credits to stay in your account.
Pick Klap if
- You take only a handful of clips from very long footage each month.
- You want unlimited connected social accounts and post analytics in the same tool.
- A yearly commitment is fine and 4-hour uploads with 52 caption languages matter to you.
Why people leave Klap
Klap's clips get fair marks. The friction, on its own pricing page and in its reviews, is commercial.
The prices are yearly
The pricing page shows $14, $39 and $94 a month with 'billed yearly' under each and a note that yearly saves 50 percent; no monthly-billed price is displayed. Basic is $168 up front.
You pay per clip, not per result
A month you clip lightly still costs the full quota, and the page does not say whether unused clips carry over.
Reviews concentrate on billing
On Trustpilot as of September 14, 2026, Klap scores 3.4 from 42 reviews with 38 percent one-star; the recurring themes are an unexpected yearly charge, not finding a way to cancel, and support response time. The sample is small, and it is what is there.
Some specifics are not on the page
Export resolution and rollover are not stated on the pricing page, so you find out after paying.

What you get on Cliphi instead
Monthly, not yearly
Klap's pricing page shows only yearly-billed prices; Basic is $14 a month billed as $168 a year. Cliphi's plans are billed monthly at the price shown, and a one-time credit pack needs no subscription at all.
Every feature, every plan
Klap's tiers differ by clip quota. Cliphi's differ by credits, and everything else is included at $4.99: speaker tracking, captions, music, reactions, supercuts, publishing and the agent API.
Cheaper per clip on normal videos
An hour-long video with 10 rendered clips costs about 172 credits, roughly 69 cents on the $9.99 plan, or about 7 cents a clip all in. Klap's Basic plan works out to 14 cents a clip at its yearly price.
Live streams and reactions
Clip a YouTube, Twitch or Kick stream while it is live, and record your face or voice over any clip. Neither appears on Klap's pricing page.

How Cliphi bills the same video, and when Klap wins
Cliphi charges one credit per minute of source video to process it, on any plan, and a quarter of a credit per second of finished clip to render it. You see every moment scored and framed before you render, so rendering credits only go to clips you will post. Every plan has every feature; plans differ only in monthly credits ($4.99 for 1,200, $9.99 for 2,500, $29.99 for 8,500 outside India). Unused credits roll into next month and stay in your account after a cancellation. One-time packs never expire.
The two models reward different habits. Klap's bill never grows with source length, so a six-hour stream you take five clips from is cheap there and not cheap on Cliphi. Cliphi's bill never grows with the plan ladder, so a weekly podcast you post ten clips from is cheap here and needs a yearly commitment there. The table shows both.
| Monthly workload | Cliphi | Klap |
|---|---|---|
| Weekly 1-hour podcast, 10 clips each (240 source minutes, 40 clips) | 690 credits; the $4.99 plan covers it (about $2.76 at the Starter rate) | 40 of Basic's 100 clips: $14/mo billed yearly (about $5.60 of it used) |
| Four 6-hour streams, 8 clips each (1,440 minutes, 32 clips) | 1,800 credits; the $9.99 plan covers it (about $7.19 used) | 32 of Basic's 100 clips: $14/mo billed yearly (about $4.48 used) |
| Twenty 20-minute videos, 3 clips each (400 minutes, 60 clips) | 850 credits; the $4.99 plan covers it (about $3.40) | 60 of Basic's 100 clips: $14/mo billed yearly (about $8.40 used) |
Assumes 45-second clips (30 seconds for the daily case). Cliphi costs use the Starter rate of $9.99 for 2,500 credits, billed monthly. Klap costs use Basic at $14 a month billed yearly, $0.14 per clip. Checked September 14, 2026.
Where Klap is the better pick
Klap connects an unlimited number of social accounts and shows analytics for what you posted, on every tier; Cliphi publishes to six platforms and leaves analytics to the platforms. Klap's per-clip model is cheaper when you take a handful of clips from very long footage, its first video is free without a card or a watermark, it takes files up to four hours, and it captions in 52 languages. Klap also has a public API. Those are on its own pages.
Where Cliphi is the better pick
Cliphi bills monthly, so there is no $168 up front, and every plan from the $4.99 Explorer plan up has the whole feature set: speaker tracking, captions, the music library, reactions, supercuts, publishing to six platforms and the agent API. Credits you do not spend stay in your account. Livestreams are clipped while they are live, which is how the Kick to TikTok and Twitch to TikTok pages get used.
How to switch from Klap
Klap's plans are yearly, so time the switch to your renewal date and use the clips you have paid for first.
- Check your Klap renewal date and cancel before it so the next $168 or more is not charged.
- Paste the same source links into Cliphi. It processes from the original video, so there is nothing to export or migrate.
- Set your caption style, logo and colours once in Brand and presets; they apply to every clip after that.
- Connect the accounts you publish to (YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Threads, X) so finished clips can go out from the clip card.
Which one should you pick
Pick Cliphi if you post several clips per video, want a monthly bill, want live stream clipping, reactions, a music library, or a tool your AI assistant can run, and want credits that do not vanish. Pick Klap if you clip sparingly from long footage, want analytics in the same tab, and are happy to pay for a year. If team seats or 4K are the deciding factor, Vizard has both; if you are comparing credit-based tools, the OpusClip page covers the one most people start with.
