OpusClip vs quso.ai
First, the thing most pages get wrong: vidyo.ai is now quso.ai. Requesting vidyo.ai/pricing returns a 302 redirect to quso.ai/pricing. With that settled: buy OpusClip if you want the clipping to be excellent and you already have a scheduler you like. Buy quso.ai if you would rather have clipping, a content planner and publishing to six platforms on one invoice.
Disclosure: this page is published by Kineo, which is not one of the two tools compared here and does not compete with either on the job they do. There is a short, clearly labelled note about Kineo at the bottom. Everything above it is written as if we had nothing at stake, because on this comparison we do not.
The verdict
OpusClip is narrow and cheap at the bottom
Starter is $15/month for 150 credits. There is no publishing suite, no content planner and no storage allowance to think about — it clips, reframes and captions, and that is the deal.
quso.ai is a suite, priced like one
Lite starts at $29/month, or $19/month annually, and includes unlimited 1080p clips, an advanced editor, publishing to 6 platforms and 10GB of storage. Essential at $39 adds filler and silence removal, external content support and a Content Planner with 25GB. Growth at $49 adds a Brand Kit, the Viddy assistant and 75GB.
The free tiers fail in different, informative ways
OpusClip Free renders up to 1080p but the clips are watermarked and stop being exportable after 3 days. quso.ai Free gives 75 credits a month but caps renders at 720p, with 7-day data retention. One takes away your time, the other takes away your resolution. Neither is a production tier.
Do the bundle arithmetic before you buy
If you already pay for a scheduler, OpusClip Starter at $15/month is the cheaper half of a stack you already own. If you do not, quso Lite at $19/month annually buys clipping and publishing together, which is genuinely hard to beat on price.
Side by side
Every figure below was read off each vendor’s own pricing page on July 26, 2026. Where a tier table did not resolve to readable prices, the cell says so rather than guessing — a wrong competitor price is worse than no price at all.
| OpusClip | quso.ai | |
|---|---|---|
| What it actually is | Finds the best moments in a long video you already recorded and cuts them into vertical clips. | Clips long videos into shorts and bundles a scheduling and publishing suite around them. |
| Needs an existing video? | Yes — you upload a long video or paste a link. There is nothing to clip from an idea. | Yes for the clipping half — the product is built around turning long videos into short-form clips. |
| Free tier | Free plan: $0, 60 credits per month, renders up to 1080p, auto-reframe and AI captions with emoji and keyword highlighting. Clips are watermarked, and after 3 days they are no longer exportable. | Free plan: $0, 75 credits per month, 720p render quality, chapters and short videos, TikTok publishing, CutMagic, and 7-day data retention. |
| Cheapest paid plan | Starter $15/month (150 credits/month, monthly billing only) | Lite $29/month, or $19/month billed annually |
| Full pricing | Free $0 (60 credits/mo) · Starter $15/mo (150 credits/mo, monthly billing only) · Pro $29/mo, or $14.50/mo billed annually at $174/year (3,600 credits released up front, 2 seats) · Business custom. | Free $0 (75 credits/mo, 720p) · Lite $29/mo, or $19/mo annually (unlimited 1080p clips, advanced editor, publishing to 6 platforms, 10GB storage) · Essential $39/mo, or $26/mo annually (adds AI filler and silence removal, external content support, Content Planner, 25GB) · Growth $49/mo, or $33/mo annually (adds Brand Kit, the Viddy AI assistant, priority support, templates, 75GB). |
| Watermark | Watermarked on the free plan; watermark-free from Starter up. | Not stated on the pricing page. |
| Aspect ratio | Vertical clips auto-reframed from your horizontal or square source. | Vertical short-form clips reframed from your source. |
| Voice / narration | Whatever voice is already in your footage. There is no text-to-speech narration of a written script. | Your source audio. |
| Where the visuals come from | None. Every frame in the output came from the video you uploaded. | None — the clips come from your own footage. |
| Export & usage limits | Free: clips stop being exportable after 3 days. Starter: 30-day limit on MP4 exports. Pro: no limit on MP4 exports. | Free renders are capped at 720p with 7-day data retention; 1080p clips are unlimited from Lite up. |

Which one you should pick
Pick OpusClip if…
- Clip quality is the only thing you are buying and you want to spend the least on it: $15/month.
- You already use a scheduler and do not want to pay for a second one.
- You want an annual price that goes low: Pro at $14.50/month, $174/year, with 3,600 credits up front.
- You need two seats — Pro includes them, and quso’s published tiers are quoted per plan with storage rather than seats.
- You want no limit on MP4 exports, which OpusClip Pro states explicitly.
Pick quso.ai if…
- You want one bill for clipping, planning and publishing to six platforms.
- Unlimited 1080p clips from the entry paid tier suits you better than a credit balance.
- You want a free tier you can keep using indefinitely, and 720p is acceptable while you evaluate.
- AI filler and silence removal matter to you — those arrive at Essential, $39/month or $26 annually.
- You want a Brand Kit and templates without an enterprise conversation: Growth, $49/month or $33 annually.
The differences that actually matter
The rename is not cosmetic for your research
Because the product changed name, a lot of the reviews you will find describe vidyo.ai’s old pricing and old feature set under a URL that now redirects. Treat anything dated before the rename as unverified. We confirmed the redirect from vidyo.ai/pricing to quso.ai/pricing on July 26, 2026, and every quso figure on this page came from quso.ai’s own live pricing page on that date.
Storage is a line item on one side and not the other
quso.ai quotes 10GB, 25GB and 75GB by tier, and free-plan data is retained 7 days. OpusClip does not quote storage; it quotes credits and export windows. If you keep a large working archive, that is a real difference in how the two will feel over a year.
Neither states a watermark policy on paid tiers as clearly as you would like
OpusClip is clear: watermarked on free, watermark-free from Starter. quso.ai’s pricing page did not state a watermark policy in what we could read. If a clean export is non-negotiable for you — and for a monetised channel it should be — confirm that with quso before subscribing.
Both are useless without a source video
Stated for completeness because it is the fact that disqualifies this whole category for a lot of searchers. Neither writes a script, neither narrates, neither invents footage. They cut up what you already made.
Frequently asked questions
Is vidyo.ai the same as quso.ai?
Yes. vidyo.ai is now quso.ai — requesting vidyo.ai/pricing returns a 302 redirect to quso.ai/pricing, which we confirmed on July 26, 2026. If you are reading a review that only mentions vidyo.ai, check its date, because the pricing and feature set will have moved on.
Is OpusClip or quso.ai cheaper?
OpusClip at entry: Starter is $15/month against quso Lite at $29/month, or $19/month billed annually. But quso Lite bundles publishing to 6 platforms and unlimited 1080p clips, so if you would otherwise pay for a scheduler separately the totals can invert. Both sets of figures read from their own pricing pages on July 26, 2026.
What does the quso.ai free plan actually include?
75 credits a month, renders capped at 720p, chapters and short videos, TikTok publishing, CutMagic, and 7-day data retention. The 720p ceiling is the detail to notice — it is fine for evaluating, and not what you want on a channel.
Does quso.ai publish my clips for me?
Its Lite tier and above list publishing to 6 platforms, and the free tier lists TikTok publishing. Essential adds a Content Planner. That scheduling layer is the main structural difference from OpusClip, which does not publish for you at all.
Which one has better clip selection?
We are not going to claim an answer we cannot support. Clip selection quality depends heavily on your own footage — a two-camera podcast and a screen-recorded tutorial produce completely different results. Both have free entry points; run the same source video through each and judge it on your own content.
One disclosed third option
Disclosure: Kineo publishes this comparison and is not one of the two tools above. It is not a clipper and has no scheduler — it takes a typed topic and returns a finished faceless 9:16 Short. Mentioned here only because a share of people searching for a clipper turn out not to have anything to clip. If you do, both tools above will serve you better than Kineo will.
