Cliphi's pricing is the sticking point: usage is credit-based, plan prices were not readable in the page text we fetched, and whether a free plan or trial exists is not confirmed. Extra credits come as one-time packs. It is web only with no native app, requires you to hold rights to the source video, and stores content for just 30 days, so clips must be downloaded before removal.
Runway is an AI creative platform for generating and editing video, images and audio, with an API; Standard is $15 per month per user and a free tier exists. Descript is a text-based video and podcast editor with Studio Sound, filler-word removal and voice cloning; Hobbyist is $16 per month per editor billed annually (saves 33%), and it also has a free tier. Both publish a starting price, which is the clearest improvement over Cliphi's unreadable plan page.
