Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

OpusClip

  • Free plan limits monthly upload minutes, and unlocking longer uploads and no watermark requires the $15 to $29 per month paid plans

Patreon

  • Takes 10% of the income a creator earns on the platform
  • Payment processing, currency conversion and payout fees are charged on top of that 10% and are not quantified on the pricing page
  • The total deduction is therefore not calculable from the pricing page alone, and requires reading a separate support article
