The short answer
Vizard and Cliphi both charge one credit per minute of video you process. The differences are what the plan locks and what happens to credits you do not use. On Vizard, watermark-free 4K exports start at $29 a month (or $14.50 billed yearly) and credits expire after 2 months on monthly plans and 13 on yearly. On Cliphi every feature is on the $4.99 plan and credits never expire, but output is 1080p and there are no team seats.
Pick Cliphi if
- You want the full feature set at the entry price, with credits that roll over indefinitely.
- You clip livestreams while they are live or record reactions over clips.
- You want to drive the tool from ChatGPT, Claude or your own agent.
- You post several clips per video and want the bill to stay small.
Pick Vizard if
- You need 4K output.
- You work as a team and need a shared workspace with seats.
- You use AI B-roll.
- You want to try the whole editor free before paying (60 minutes a month, watermarked, 720p).
Why people leave Vizard
Vizard is well liked. The reasons people still switch are about what the plan locks and how long credits last.
Credits expire
Vizard's help center: rollover is automatic, but each release of credits is valid for 2 months on a monthly plan and 13 months on a yearly one. The reviews that mention losing credits after cancelling are describing this.
Upgrading forfeits credits
Unused Creator credits do not carry to Business if you move up, so the month you grow is the month you lose what you had banked.
The free tier is a demo
60 credits, a watermark, 720p and 3-day project expiry, per the help center's free plan article. It shows the editor, not the output you would post.
The plan decides the output
4K and watermark-free exports are Creator and up, and the yearly price that makes Creator cheap is a yearly commitment.
Livestreams wait for the VOD
Vizard works from a finished video. Cliphi starts clipping a YouTube, Twitch or Kick stream while it is live, so the first clips are out before the stream ends.
What the reviews repeat
Vizard is well liked: 4.7 from 2,520 Trustpilot reviews as of September 14, 2026, 2 percent one-star. The complaints that recur are unused credits forfeited on cancellation, a sign-up wall on tools marketed as free, and support response time.

What you get on Cliphi instead
No tier holds a feature back
Vizard's Free plan exports at 720p with a watermark; 4K and watermark-free exports start on Creator. Cliphi's plans differ only in credits: the $4.99 plan renders the same 1080p, watermark-free clip as the $29.99 one.
Credits that keep
Vizard rolls credits over but each release is valid for 2 months on monthly plans and 13 months on yearly, and unused Creator credits are lost if you upgrade to Business. Cliphi credits roll over indefinitely and survive a cancellation.
Livestreams, while they are live
Paste a live YouTube, Twitch or Kick stream and clips arrive before it ends. Vizard's pricing page lists no livestream feature.
Reactions and agents
Record your face or voice over any clip, or drive Cliphi from ChatGPT, Claude or your own agent through the MCP server. Neither is on Vizard's plan comparison.

What Vizard costs in 2026
From vizard.ai/pricing and the help center, read on September 14, 2026. One credit is one minute of video processed.
| Plan | Price | Credits | Output | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 60/mo | 720p, watermark | Projects expire after 3 days |
| Creator | $29/mo, or $14.50/mo yearly ($174) | 7,200/yr (600/mo), higher tiers to 60,000/yr | 4K, no watermark | 6 social accounts, 100 GB storage |
| Business | $39/mo, or $19.50/mo yearly ($234) | 7,200/yr and up to 74,400/yr | 4K, no watermark | Shared workspace, 20 accounts, brand kit, seats $5/mo each |
Credits roll over automatically; each release is valid for 2 months (monthly) or 13 months (yearly). Prices checked on September 14, 2026.
How Cliphi bills the same video
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.
Vizard never charges for rendering, so on a video where you render very many clips the two converge. On the workloads most creators actually run, they do not.
| Monthly workload | Cliphi | Vizard |
|---|---|---|
| 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) | 240 credits; Creator at $29/mo, or $14.50 billed yearly |
| 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) | 1,440 credits; above Creator's 600/mo base, so a higher Creator tier priced above $29 |
| Twenty 20-minute videos, 3 clips each (400 minutes, 60 clips) | 850 credits; the $4.99 plan covers it (about $3.40) | 400 credits; Creator at $29/mo, or $14.50 billed yearly |
Assumes 45-second clips (30 seconds for the daily case). Cliphi costs use the Starter rate of $9.99 for 2,500 credits. Vizard credits are source minutes. Checked September 14, 2026.
Where Vizard is the better pick
If you need 4K output, Vizard delivers it on Creator and Cliphi renders at 1080p, full stop. If you work as a team, Vizard's Business plan has a shared workspace and per-seat pricing and Cliphi does not sell seats. Vizard inserts AI B-roll, which Cliphi does not do, and its free tier lets you try the whole editor before paying anything. Those are real advantages and they are on Vizard's own pricing page.
Where Cliphi is the better pick
Every Cliphi plan, from the $4.99 Explorer plan up, has every feature: speaker tracking, word-by-word captions, the music library, reactions, supercuts, publishing to six platforms and the agent API. Credits you do not use stay in your account for as long as you have one. Livestreams are clipped while they are live, which is how the Twitch to YouTube Shorts and YouTube livestream to TikTok pages get used.
How to switch from Vizard
Vizard's paid plans keep projects, so there is no deadline, but use the credits you have paid for first: they expire 2 months (monthly) or 13 months (yearly) after they were issued.
- 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.
- Keep Vizard until its current credits are used, then cancel; unused credits do not survive a cancellation.
Which one should you pick
Pick Cliphi if you want the full feature set at $4.99, credits that do not expire, live stream clipping, reactions, or a tool your AI assistant can drive. Pick Vizard if 4K, seats or B-roll are part of the job. If you are leaving because of credit expiry specifically, note that OpusClip's credits expire faster (60 days on monthly plans); if you take only a few clips from very long footage, Klap's per-clip pricing may cost less than either. The quickest way to decide is the same either way: paste one of your own videos and compare the clips.
