● What it is Klap turns one long video into short vertical clips for TikTok, Reels and Shorts.
● What it costs Basic $14/mo billed yearly or $29 month-to-month. Pro $39 / $79. Pro+ $94 / $189.
● What you get 100, 300 or 1,000 clips a month - counted as clips, not credits.
● Free trial One video, no card. You can preview and edit, but exporting needs a paid plan.

Klap is built around one job: you have a long recording - a podcast, a webinar, an interview, a stream - and you want the parts of it that work as standalone vertical clips. You give it the video, it finds the moments, reframes them, captions them, and scores their potential to go viral.

What it actually does

  • AI Reframe 2. The newest reframing engine, with layouts including Split Screen, Screencasts and Gaming - so a two-person podcast or a screen recording does not get cropped into a single talking head.
  • AI Editing and Auto Reframing. Clip selection and vertical reframing from the source video in one pass.
  • Engaging Captions. Burned-in captions on the clip, which is what makes a short watchable with sound off.
  • Customization. Caption styling and layout control on top of the automatic pass.
  • Publish and Schedule. Direct posting to TikTok, YouTube, Instagram and LinkedIn, so the clip does not have to come back to your desktop first.
  • Virality scoring. Each clip is scored on its potential to perform, which is the triage step when the tool returns thirty clips and you want five.

Pricing, and the thing worth noticing about it

PlanBilled yearlyMonth-to-monthClips per month
Basic$14/mo$29/mo100
Pro$39/mo$79/mo300
Pro+$94/mo$189/mo1,000

The month-to-month prices are roughly double the annual rate, which is a steep gap - worth knowing before you pick monthly to "try it properly". Basic at $29 month-to-month costs more than Pro at $39 billed yearly, for a third of the clips.

The detail that matters more is the unit. Klap sells you clips per month. A lot of this category sells credits and does not publish what a credit buys, which means you cannot work out what you are getting until you have already paid. One hundred clips is a number you can plan a content calendar against.

The free trial, honestly

Klap gives you one video, no credit card. You can run it, preview the clips and edit them. You cannot export or post them without a paid plan, and the free output carries Klap branding where paid exports do not.

So the trial answers "does the clip selection work on my kind of content?" - which is the question that matters - but it will not get you a usable clip for free. If you want to publish something before paying, this is not the tool.

Where it sits against the obvious alternative

The tool most people weigh Klap against is OpusClip. The short version: OpusClip is cheaper at the Pro tier and deeper on editing features, Klap is simpler and sells you a number you can predict. We have put both side by side with every price read off the vendor pages in Klap vs OpusClip.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Klap cost?

Basic is $14 a month billed yearly or $29 month-to-month, Pro is $39 or $79, and Pro+ is $94 or $189. Those tiers include 100, 300 and 1,000 clips per month respectively.

Is Klap free?

There is a free trial covering one video with no credit card required. You can preview and edit the clips it produces, but downloading or posting them requires a paid plan, and free output carries Klap branding.

What does Klap actually do?

It takes a long video - a podcast, webinar, interview or stream - finds the segments that work as standalone shorts, reframes them vertically, adds captions and scores each clip on its potential to perform. It can publish directly to TikTok, YouTube, Instagram and LinkedIn.

Does Klap handle two-person podcasts or screen recordings?

Yes. AI Reframe 2 includes Split Screen, Screencasts and Gaming layouts, which is the feature that matters when a straight vertical crop would cut out half of what is on screen.

How many clips do I get?

Klap counts in clips rather than credits: 100 a month on Basic, 300 on Pro and 1,000 on Pro+. That is unusual in this category and it is the main reason the cost is predictable.

Klap or OpusClip?

OpusClip Pro is cheaper annually and carries more editing depth, including AI B-Roll, export to Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve, and video dubbing. Klap is simpler and sells clips rather than credits. Our full comparison covers both on price, limits and free tiers.
