- You clip long videos every month and want a lower price for the same minutes
- You want scheduled posting to YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Threads and LinkedIn on the entry paid plan
- You'd like spare minutes you can buy once and use over 12 months, not credits that lapse
BeamTake/Alternatives/OpusClip alternative
The OpusClip alternative that costs less per minute of video
OpusClip and BeamTake do the same core job: you give them a long video and get back short vertical clips with captions. The difference is mostly in the bill. On a monthly plan, 300 minutes cost $29 at OpusClip and $19 at BeamTake, and the scheduler is included from the first paid plan.

Differences
Why choose BeamTake over OpusClip
Same 300 minutes, lower price
On monthly billing OpusClip Pro is $29 for 300 credits (1 credit = 1 imported minute). BeamTake Creator is $19 for 300 source minutes, or $12 a month billed yearly against OpusClip's $14.50.
Scheduling isn't a top-tier extra
OpusClip's scheduler starts on Pro. On BeamTake every paid plan publishes on a calendar to six platforms, in your own timezone, and posting to any of them costs no extra minutes.
Minutes that wait for you
OpusClip credits on monthly plans expire after about two months. BeamTake's extra minute packs stay valid for 12 months, so a slow month doesn't burn what you paid for.
