Clipped vs Opus Clip
Comparison reflects publicly listed Opus Clip features at time of writing.
Why creators switch
No subscription. Ever.
Opus Clip charges monthly. Clipped is free forever — no premium tier, no usage cap, no card on file. The AI runs on your phone, so we don't have GPU bills to pass on.
Nothing leaves your phone
Opus uploads every video to its servers to process it. With Clipped, your footage stays on your iPhone. No upload, no copy in someone else's cloud, no privacy policy to read.
Works on a plane
Try Opus without internet — you can't. Clipped runs in airplane mode, on the subway, in a hotel with broken Wi-Fi. The AI is on your device, not a server.
No account, no email
Opus needs an account. Clipped doesn't. Open the app and start clipping. No sign-up flow, no verification email, no marketing list.
Open-source AI
Clipped uses Qwen 2.5 and Qwen 3.5 — both open-source — running on the Apple Neural Engine. No proprietary black box. You can delete the models any time.
Native iOS, not a web app
Opus lives in a browser tab. Clipped is a real iPhone app — share-sheet integration, instant launch, native performance, built for one-thumb editing on the go.

FAQ
Yes. Clipped is a completely free Opus Clip alternative for iPhone. There's no subscription, no free trial that converts, no paywall, and no account. The AI runs directly on your iPhone using the Apple Neural Engine, so nothing is uploaded to a server.
Clipped is free forever. There are no in-app purchases, no premium tiers, and no usage caps. Because the AI runs on your phone instead of a paid cloud GPU, we don't have server costs to pass on to you.
Opus Clip is a web app that uploads your video to its cloud and processes it on remote servers, with a monthly subscription. Clipped is an iPhone app that runs the entire pipeline — transcript, hook detection, reframing, captions — locally on your device, for free, with no upload and no account.
Yes. Once the AI models are downloaded, Clipped works fully offline. You can clip videos in airplane mode, on a flight, or with no Wi-Fi. Opus Clip cannot work offline because it depends on cloud processing.
Your footage never leaves your iPhone. There are no servers receiving your video, no analytics, and no account tied to your face or voice. We literally did not build the infrastructure to receive your data.
Clipped uses Qwen 2.5 for tagging and search and Qwen 3.5 for summarisation and analysis. Both are open-source models downloaded directly to your iPhone, and you can delete them at any time from the app's settings.
Right now Clipped is iPhone-only because it leans on the Apple Neural Engine for fast on-device inference. Other platforms are on the roadmap.
