What you pay
Studiotake
From $19 a month for 5 episode-hours (€22.99 a month including VAT in the EU). It buys the whole job: the episode, the shorts, the covers and the posts.
OpusClip
OpusClip’s pricing page says 1 credit = 1 minute of video processing. Starter is $15 billed monthly for 150 credits, $6 an hour of video. Studiotake is $3.80 an episode-hour, from $19 a month for 5. It takes one video, so for a three-camera episode it processes a single file: $6.00 for a finished hour, up to $7.50 for one 1.25-hour camera file. Its Multi-Angle feature adds AI-generated shots to that one video rather than cutting between your cameras.

- You work on the web or a phone. OpusClip has iPhone and Android apps (Android in some countries). Studiotake is a Mac app so far.
- You want a free plan. OpusClip has one: 60 minutes of video a month, with a watermark and no card.
Questions
Does OpusClip upload my footage?
Yes. You upload a video or give OpusClip a link; its help centre says projects expire 3 days after creation on the free plan and 30 days on Starter and Pro, unless a Pro user saves them to its cloud storage (OpusClip help). Studiotake keeps your recordings, transcripts, cut lists and exports on your Mac. Three exceptions, each only when you use it: a finished video you schedule waits on our server until it is posted, parts of the transcript pass through our server to the AI provider to write the cut and the texts, and support requests you send reach us. See the privacy policy.
Is Studiotake a replacement for OpusClip?
They overlap on shorts, captions, titles and posting. OpusClip makes clips from any long video and can post and schedule them. Studiotake is built for podcasts: it also cuts the whole episode, designs a branded cover for each short and writes the chapters.

Checked 10 November 2026 against OpusClip’s own site, where every claim about it links its source; products change, so check OpusClip’s pages before you decide. Prices are in US dollars, Studiotake's the same number in euros (€22.99 a month including VAT in the EU). OpusClip’s pricing page says 1 credit = 1 minute of video processing, so we divide each plan’s price by its credits: $15 for 150 on Starter, billed monthly. A three-camera episode here is one hour finished, recorded on three cameras with 10 to 20% cut, so about 3.5 hours of footage in all (3.3 to 3.75). OpusClip: it takes one video and uses 1 credit a minute, so a finished hour up to one 1.25-hour camera file is $6.00 to $7.50. These are the prices it shows in the US and the EU. Studiotake keeps your recordings on your Mac. Three things reach our server, each only when you use it: a video scheduled to post waits there until it is posted, parts of the transcript pass through it to the AI provider, and support requests you send reach us (privacy policy).
