Opus Clip vs Sentarys: How to Pick an AI Clip Tool in 2026

Opus Clip and Sentarys both turn a long video into vertical clips for Shorts, TikTok and Reels. Paste a link, wait a few minutes, get clips with captions. The differences show up in the details: how much video your money buys, how well captions handle your language, and what you can do after the clip is cut. This guide helps you decide with your own footage.

Start with the job you need done

• Clippers and podcasters need many good clips from long episodes every week, so price per minute and clip quality matter most.
• Creators who post in Portuguese or Spanish need captions that get accents and slang right, and an app they can use in their language.
• Faceless and dark channels need videos made from a topic, with narration, scenes and captions.
• Brands going global need the same video in other languages without recording it again.

Price per minute of video

Plan	Per month	Video per month	Per minute
Sentarys Pro	US$10	150 minutes	US$0.07
Opus Clip Starter	US$15	150 minutes	US$0.10
Opus Clip Pro	US$29	300 minutes	US$0.10

For the same 150 minutes a month, Sentarys costs a third less than Opus Clip Starter. To try them, Opus Clip Free gives 60 minutes a month with a watermark; a new Sentarys account gets 30 minutes of video with clean 1080p exports and no card. Opus Clip prices are the monthly plans on opus.pro, checked on September 27, 2026.

What to test in the clips

1. Story selection. Does each clip make sense to someone who never saw the episode? Look for a hook, context, a turn and a payoff.
2. Cuts. Listen to the first and last word of every clip. A clipped word is the fastest way to lose a viewer.
3. Captions in your language. Check accents, names and slang, and how long it takes to fix a wrong word.
4. Framing. The vertical crop should follow whoever is talking, and split the screen when two people react.
5. Editing. Change the hook, a word and the caption style on one clip. The faster you see the result, the more clips you will actually post.

Beyond clips

Dubbing

Sentarys dubs a video into 12 languages on the US$10 plan: it translates the speech, records a natural voice and redoes the captions, keeping the timing and the music. On Opus Clip, dubbing is part of the Pro plan (US$29) and up.

Faceless videos

Sentarys makes faceless videos from a topic in seven styles, from mystery and history to hand-drawn, anime and story over gameplay, on the same plan and the same credits. Opus Clip offers video generation from an idea as a separate product, Agent Opus.

Where each one fits

Opus Clip is a mature tool with team seats and integrations on Pro, and a Business plan with custom storage and priority support. If your team already runs on it and the price works, it is a solid choice.

Sentarys fits when price per minute matters, when you post in Portuguese or Spanish, and when you want clips, dubbing and faceless videos in one plan, with an editor to polish each clip before exporting.

Run the test in one afternoon

1. Pick one episode with a real story and some back and forth.
2. Give both tools the same link and ask for clips of the same length.
3. Watch every clip on a phone, once with sound and once muted.
4. Count the clips you would post as they are, then time the fixes on the rest.

The tool that gives you the most postable clips per hour of your time wins. See the side by side comparison, or try Sentarys free with 30 minutes of video.
