What the pricing actually gets you
Crayo has no free plan and its low headline price requires annual billing, so a monthly commitment costs more than the advertised figure; it also does not publish which languages it supports. Opus Clip's free plan allows 60 minutes of processing a month but watermarks animated caption templates and expires clips after 3 days, and it does not publish export resolution above 1080p.
