Klap: cost, fit and limits
Klap is an AI video clipping service made by ZIGG SAS that turns long videos such as podcasts, webinars and interviews into short vertical clips with animated captions, and schedules them to TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn and Facebook.
What to know first
Klap sells three paid plans measured in clips per month, not minutes of footage: Basic with 100, Pro with 300 and Pro+ with 1,000. Yearly billing is labeled as saving 50 percent. The free route is a trial for one video, and downloading or posting clips needs a paid plan. Source videos up to three hours each are stated not to count against the quota. The privacy page names US hosting and does not say whether uploads train AI.

Who Klap is best for
Weekly podcast hosts
A clip quota maps cleanly to a posting calendar: 100 clips a month covers a daily rhythm of several clips per episode without tracking hours of analysis.
Agencies clipping for several clients
Pro+ allows 1,000 clips a month for teams, and long sources up to three hours each do not use that quota, so client webinars fit comfortably.
Creators who post on five networks
Scheduling and publishing to TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn and Facebook is listed on the plan page, which saves a separate scheduler subscription.

What Klap does
- Clip quotas instead of minutes
- Plans count output clips, refilled every billing period. The pricing page states that source videos up to three hours each do not use up the quota.
- Virality score
- The pricing FAQ names a virality score that ranks the generated clips, so a buyer can start from the top-scoring moments instead of watching the full recording.
- Active-speaker reframing
- Horizontal footage is converted to vertical with the frame following whoever is speaking, which matters for interviews and panel recordings shot in landscape, where a fixed center crop would cut off a speaker.
- Animated captions in many languages
- The FAQ lists animated captions in 99-plus languages, so a show recorded in a language other than English can still get styled subtitles, and one source can serve several markets.
- Editor with b-roll and hook titles
- An editor lets a user adjust a clip, add b-roll and write a hook title before publishing, rather than accepting the first automatic cut, which helps when the generated moment starts a sentence too early.
How Klap handles your data
The privacy page names Supabase and Google Cloud as providers and puts hosting in the United States. Content data, including uploaded videos, is kept until you delete it or your account, plus up to 30 days in backups. The page says contractors review samples of video frames to improve reframing, and that data is used to develop new services, features and functionality, but it does not say plainly whether customer video trains AI models. A Data Protection Agreement is offered for business use. No SOC 2 or ISO 27001 claim appears on the pages we read.
Where Klap falls short in practice
- Trial covers one video. Evaluating the output on several episodes is not possible without paying, because the trial covers a single video and clips cannot be downloaded or posted until a paid plan starts.
- No API. None of the plans lists API access, so a studio that wants to push new episodes into clipping automatically has to use the web interface or look at a tool with an API.
- Human review of frames. Contractors may view samples of video frames to improve reframing. A client under an NDA may not accept that, and the privacy page gives no way to switch it off.

Alternatives to Klap
Klap: common questions
Does Klap count the length of my source video against my plan?
Klap's pricing page counts output clips, not minutes of input. Source videos up to three hours each are stated not to use up plan quota. The quota that matters is the number of clips per month: 100 on Basic, 300 on Pro and 1,000 on Pro+, refilled every billing period.
Can I download clips from the Klap free trial?
No. The trial covers one video with no credit card, but downloading and posting clips need a paid plan. A buyer who wants to compare output quality on several episodes before paying has to use another tool's free tier for that test.
How much does Klap yearly billing save?
The pricing page labels yearly billing as saving 50 percent. Basic drops from $29 to $14.50 a month ($174 billed yearly), Pro from $79 to $39.50 ($474) and Pro+ from $189 to $94.50 ($1,134). Prices are in US dollars as shown.
Where does Klap store uploaded videos?
The privacy page names Supabase and Google Cloud and places hosting in the United States. Uploaded content is kept until you delete it or your account, plus up to 30 days in backups. The company behind it, ZIGG SAS, is French, but the hosting is not in Europe.
Does Klap post to social networks for me?
Klap lists scheduling and publishing to TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn and Facebook. The pages we read did not state how many connected accounts each plan allows, so check that limit in a paid trial month before dropping a separate scheduler.
