Quso vs Opus Clip

Both tools take a long video you already made and cut it into short clips. On 23 August 2026, Quso's entry plan cost $29 per month on monthly billing and $19 per month on annual billing, while Opus Clip's Starter plan cost $15 per month with a free tier above it.

Choose Quso if you want captioned clips plus scheduling in one place, turning a podcast or stream into a posting pipeline.

Choose Opus Clip if you want the cheapest entry point for clip finding, including a free tier that needs no card.

Choose neither if you have no source footage at all: both start from your upload, not from an idea.

What each one does

Quso turns a long video, podcast or stream into captioned clips, then schedules them. Its former name was Vidyo.ai, and its own pricing page states that existing plans and prices are unchanged after the move. It works from footage you supply.

Opus Clip finds clips inside a long video you already made. You upload or link finished footage, it locates the segments worth cutting, and you export them as shorts. It also works from footage you supply.

Where Quso wins

Quso covers the step after clipping. If you run a weekly podcast and want each episode to become several captioned shorts that go out on a schedule without you opening another tool, Quso handles the cut and the calendar together. Its free tier gives 75 credits per month at 720p, so a light user can test the pipeline before paying. Annual billing doubles your credit allocation: the Essential plan carries 300 credits monthly but 600 on annual payment, which is unusual in this category and materially lowers the effective cost if you commit. For a team whose bottleneck is distribution rather than editing, one subscription covering both steps is simpler than pairing a clipper with a separate scheduler.

Where Opus Clip wins

Opus Clip starts cheaper. Its Starter plan costs $15 per month, and its free tier requires no card, so testing costs nothing. If your only job is locating strong moments inside footage you already produced, paying for scheduling you will not use wastes money. A creator who edits their own videos and only wants help picking the best three minutes out of sixty gets exactly that. The Pro plan at $29 per month sits below many competitors' entry points while covering heavier clip volume. For solo editors with an existing workflow, a focused clip finder slots in without changing how they publish.

What neither of them does

Neither generates pictures. Both begin from footage you already recorded or published, so neither helps if you have no source material. Neither names its sources: no media cue file accompanies the output, so if a clip contains third-party material you cannot trace where it came from through the tool. Neither writes a documentary-style script about a real event from research. Their shared shape is post-production on existing uploads, and both stop at the boundary of what you feed them.

If neither fits

ViewMade takes a topic and returns a finished vertical documentary Short: sourced research, script, voiceover, real archive footage, word-by-word captions, cover image and an upload package, with a media cue naming every clip's source.
