Both turn long videos into vertical clips with captions. The biggest difference is how you pay: Roundclip sells minutes once that never expire, OpusClip sells monthly credits. Here's the rest, side by side.

Where Roundclip is ahead
- No subscription needed: buy minutes once and they're yours until you use them.
- Nothing expires: monthly minutes add up instead of resetting.
- See your clips before you make an account.
- The API and MCP server on every plan, so Claude, Cursor or your own code can make clips.
