What OpusClip users complain about
The most common problems in public reviews, and what YT-Clipper does instead.
Credits are confusing, and it's hard to tell what a video will cost before you upload it.
No credits. Each plan lists videos, minutes of video and clips per month, and your usage page shows exactly what's left.
Projects and paid-for credits disappear when a subscription ends.
Cancelling doesn't touch your projects. Clips, captions and posts stay downloadable for 30 days after each project finishes, whatever your plan.
Charges after cancelling, and cancelling takes too many steps.
Cancel in one click on the Billing page and the plan ends immediately. During early access nothing is charged at all.
Free exports carry a watermark.
No watermark on any clip, on any plan.
Processing fails or stalls on some videos.
Failed and cancelled videos don't count against your plan, and a stalled job is picked up again automatically.
