Choose Opus Clip if…

You need Opus to create the transcript rather than supply captions, want its editing/direct-posting workflow, and fit Starter’s processing budget.

  • Starter does not include4Kexport; MP4 uses the highest available resolution with a 30-day export window.
  • Check supported source languages and transcript accuracy with a sample. Commercial-use permission is not established by watermark removal.

Choose 2short.ai if…

You already have captioned sources, prefer Lite’s lower monthly price and larger analysis allowance, and can work within its fast-export limit.

  • Source captions are required. Lite’s fast server-side exports are limited to 60 minutes/month.
  • Public API access and terms were not established; confirm with 2short before planning an integration.

Frequently asked questions

Direct answers grounded in reviewed plan documentation.

What does the calculator compare?

Listed monthly subscription costs for one creator processing whole-minute, captioned YouTube sources. Taxes, checkout adjustments, API use and add-ons are excluded from the estimate scope.

Why is annual billing unavailable?

Opus releases annual credits together. This calculator compares monthly subscriptions only, so annual plans are excluded from estimates. Check the official pricing pages for annual options.

Is commercial permission verified?

No. Selecting commercial-use clearance blocks recommendations until the applicable license terms are verified. Watermark removal alone does not prove commercial permission.

When were these prices checked, and what happens after the review expires?

The selected monthly plans were checked against official sources on November 11, 2026. Previously verified values remain visible with their actual check date when overdue, but expired prices and allowances cannot produce a current estimate. Our next planned review is December 11, 2026.

Does Opus Clip need a video that already has captions?

No for its normal supported transcript workflow: Opus normally generates a transcript, and uploading an SRT is optional. 2short’s FAQ requires source captions. This is a workflow difference, not a guarantee that every language or recording will transcribe accurately.

What resolution does Opus Starter export, and is there a 2short API?

Opus lists highest-available MP4 export with a 30-day limit; its 4K help table excludes Starter. We have not converted that conditional rule into an invented 1080p guarantee. The reviewed 2short public pages do not document API access or terms; a page under /docs/api renders the homepage. Confirm an API contract with the vendor before building an integration.
