Klap pricing: what each plan costs per month and per clip

Klap plans at a glance

Klap pricing has three self-serve plans, Basic (“For individuals”), Pro (“For professionals”, marked Popular) and Pro+ (“For teams”). Each plan is a monthly allowance of generated clips. Above Pro+, the page only says “Need more? Let’s talk!”, so there is no published enterprise price.

Source: Klap pricing, read in a rendered browser on October 23, 2026 with the billing toggle on Yearly (the default) and on Monthly. The yearly total is 12 × the per-month price shown; the page does not print the amount charged at checkout, and it does not say whether taxes are included.

The cards do not list seat counts. Pro+ is labelled “For teams”, but the page does not say how many people can share a workspace on any plan, so confirm that before buying for a team.

Monthly vs yearly billing

The toggle on the Klap pricing page says yearly billing lets you “Save 50%”. Our arithmetic from the listed prices agrees, within a couple of points:

Unlike tools where only the top tiers get the big annual discount, Klap halves every plan. The catch is the refund rule for yearly plans (see refunds): after the first month, you can only get money back for months in which you did not use Klap at all. If you are not sure Klap’s clips suit your channel, one or two monthly cycles cost less than a yearly plan you stop using.

Klap cost per clip

Because Klap sells clips rather than upload minutes, the natural unit is the price of one generated clip. Dividing each plan price by its clip allowance gives:

These are best-case numbers: they assume you use the whole monthly allowance. The pricing page does not say whether unused clips roll over to the next month, so we assume they do not and treat a half-used plan as costing twice as much per clip. The bigger variable is how many generated clips you actually publish. If you keep one clip in three, the effective cost per published clip on yearly Pro is about $0.39, not $0.13.

Clip pricing also changes which videos are cheap to process. A per-minute or per-credit tool charges more for a three-hour stream than for a ten-minute interview. On Klap the long stream costs whatever number of clips it produces, which favours long podcasts, webinars and streams. If you want the same comparison across tools that bill by minutes, see AI clipping cost per minute.

100 clips a month: Basic covers exactly 100 generated clips, at $29 a month or $14 a month billed yearly ($168 a year). If you publish one clip in three, 100 published clips need about 300 generated clips, which is Pro at $79 a month or $39 a month billed yearly (our arithmetic from the plan table above).

What counts as a clip

The pricing page headline is “Only pay for clips you generate”, which means the allowance is spent on output clips, including ones you later discard. How many clips a video produces is up to Klap’s AI and your settings. Klap gives two different rules of thumb on its home page: the “How it works” section says “a one-minute long video produces about 5 video clips”, while the FAQ says one click can turn “a 3-minute YouTube video into 5 ready-to-publish videos”. Treat both as marketing estimates rather than a billing rule.

Klap’s API docs show a max_duration setting for generated shorts, and the MCP page shows a max_clips option for agents. If you are watching your allowance, asking for fewer clips per video is the lever that keeps the cost per published clip down. We have not tested how strictly these limits are applied.

What every Klap plan includes

The pricing page lists three things under “All plans include”: AI Clipping, Unlimited social accounts and Analytics. The plans differ only in clip allowance and price on the page we read; it does not show a feature comparison table.

Klap’s home page describes the features those clips come with: AI editing that picks topics from a video, auto reframing (with “AI Reframe 2” for split-screen, screencast and gaming layouts), captions with recommended post text, brand customization of fonts, colours, logos and framing, and publishing and scheduling to TikTok, YouTube, Instagram and LinkedIn. The home page FAQ says Klap edits and transcribes videos in 52 languages, while the API page says captions are available in over 100 languages; we quote both because they describe different things and Klap does not reconcile them.

Klap’s Opus Clip comparison page (updated May 13, 2026) adds claims about 4K export, unlimited storage, a full editor in every plan and live chat support for everyone. Those come from a vendor-written comparison rather than the pricing page, so treat them as Klap’s claims.

Is Klap free?

Klap has no free plan on its pricing page. The home page says “Try for free. No credit card required.”, and the home page FAQ answers “Is Klap free?” with: you can try Klap and create 1 video for free, then upgrade. The MCP page also says “Free trial included”. None of these pages says how many clips that one free video can produce, whether trial exports carry a watermark, or whether the trial expires, so we leave those out.

If a recurring free tier matters more than clip pricing, our free Opus Clip alternatives page compares the free plans of other clippers.

Klap API pricing

Klap has two developer surfaces, and they are billed differently:

• REST API with an API key (base URL api.klap.app/v2): Klap’s documentation describes a usage-based model billed monthly per operation. The API pricing page lists $0.32 per Generate Short operation (“Create a short-form video from input”), $0.44 per Video Input operation (“Process and analyze a video input”) and $0.48 per Export operation (“Export videos after processing”). That page says it was last updated on November 21, 2024.
• Sign in with Klap (OAuth), used by Zapier, Make, n8n and other apps acting for a user: the OAuth docs say everything is billed against the signed-in user’s Klap subscription, with that plan’s limits, and that no API keys or API credits are involved.

The docs do not spell out how many operations a typical job uses. As an illustration only: if one long video counts as one Video Input operation, each of five shorts as one Generate Short operation, and each of five exports as one Export operation, the job would cost $0.44 + 5 × $0.32 + 5 × $0.48 = $4.44 at list rates. That assumption is ours; check your usage in the Klap dashboard after a test run.

Klap’s API page says the API can generate shorts from YouTube URLs or video files, add captions, reframe landscape video to portrait, return word-level transcripts and create managed sub-users with an embedded editor. For how Opus Clip’s own API is gated, see Opus Clip API.

Klap MCP server and integrations

Klap also runs an MCP server for AI agents such as Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT in developer mode, VS Code, Windsurf and Codex. The MCP page says connecting is free and that whatever your agent creates uses your Klap plan exactly as on klap.app; there is no API key and you sign in with OAuth. It lists 18 tools, including clip creation, transcripts, translation, exports, a usage check and post scheduling.

For cost, this means MCP and Zapier, Make or n8n usage come out of your plan’s clip allowance, while the API-key REST API is billed per operation on top. Pick the surface that matches how you want to pay.

Refunds and cancelling

Klap’s Terms of Service (last updated 25/07/2024; Klap is operated by ZIGG SAS, a French company) set out the refund rules:

• First month: if you are not satisfied, you can request a refund before the end of your first month of subscription.
• Unused months: if you have not used the service, you can request a refund for up to the last 3 consecutive months of non-usage.
• Yearly plans: full refunds only within the first month. After that, partial refunds cover the last consecutive fully elapsed zero-usage months (up to 3), prorated at 1/12 of the annual amount per month.
• How: after cancelling, eligible users can process the refund themselves from the billing page, or contact support.

The terms do not describe what happens to unused clips or existing projects after you cancel, so we do not describe it either.

Where Klap’s own pages disagree

• Plan names and the $29 price: the home page FAQ says you can “upgrade to Klap Pro for just $29/month”. On the pricing page, $29 a month is the monthly price of Basic; Pro is $79 a month, or $39 billed yearly.
• Starter vs Basic: Klap’s Opus Clip comparison page (updated May 13, 2026) calls the $14-a-month plan “Klap Starter” and describes it as “10 × 45-minute videos / month”. The pricing page we read calls it Basic and sells it as 100 clips a month, with no minute or video-count limit shown.
• Languages: 52 languages for editing and transcription on the home page, “over 100 languages” for captions on the API page.

In each case we quote the pricing page for prices and plan names, because it is the page you buy from.

Which Klap plan to choose

• Trying Klap on your own content: the free trial video first, then Basic on monthly billing ($29) for a month to measure how many clips you actually keep.
• One creator posting most days: 100 clips is about three generated clips a day. If you discard many, Pro’s 300 clips at $39 a month billed yearly leaves room.
• Agencies, several channels or long streams: Pro+ has the lowest cost per clip, about $0.094 on yearly billing, but only if you use most of the 1,000 clips.
• Building Klap into your own product: the per-operation REST API; if you only automate your own account through Zapier, Make, n8n or an agent, your plan covers it.

Klap pricing vs Opus Clip and other clippers

The closest comparison is Opus Clip. On October 23, 2026 the Opus Clip pricing page listed a Free plan with 60 credits a month, Starter at $15 a month (monthly billing only, 150 credits) and Pro at $29 a month or $14.50 a month billed annually ($174 a year), with 300 credits a month. Opus Clip counts credits while Klap counts generated clips, so the two prices are not directly comparable; the full Opus Clip breakdown is in Opus Clip pricing.

If you are choosing between clippers rather than plans, Opus Clip alternatives puts Klap next to Vugola, Submagic and Vizard, and best AI clip makers covers the wider field. For caption-first editing, compare Submagic pricing. Streamers should also read AI stream clipper, and the AI video pricing tracker lists every tool we have checked.

How we checked these prices

We read Klap’s pricing page on October 23, 2026 in a rendered browser with the billing toggle on Yearly and on Monthly, and read Klap’s home page, API page, MCP page, Terms of Service, Opus Clip comparison page and API documentation the same day. Opus Clip prices come from its pricing page, also read on October 23, 2026. Where Klap’s pages disagree, we quote the pricing page and list the conflict. Yearly totals, savings and per-clip figures are our arithmetic from the published prices. We have not bought a Klap plan or run test projects for this page, nobody paid for inclusion, and there are no affiliate links. Prices change, so check Klap’s pricing page before you buy.
