Same credit model, fewer plan walls. More minutes per pound, the full editor from the first paid plan, and 4K sources from Pro. Prices checked June 2026.

Both tools use the same honest credit model, 1 credit = 1 minute of source video, clips themselves are free. The differences are in what each plan unlocks.

OpusClip is the biggest name in the category, and you pay for that name twice: once in price per minute, and again in plan walls. The thing most people actually need after the AI does its pass (fixing a trim, restyling a caption) costs $29/month there and £9.99 here.
ClipDocker is the creator's platform: every plan ships virality scoring, AI AutoFrame, five named caption styles and captions in 99 languages, and the first paid plan adds the full editor, watermark-free clips and direct TikTok publishing. Past that, you upgrade for more minutes, not for features.
Per minute, by roughly a third: ClipDocker Pro works out around £0.05 per source minute (400 credits for £19.99) vs roughly $0.10 on OpusClip Pro (300 credits for $29), and the editor comes with every paid plan, from Starter at £9.99/mo, rather than a higher tier.
Only on the Pro plan ($29/mo), the $15 Starter can download clips but not edit them. ClipDocker includes the full in-browser editor on every paid plan, from Starter at £9.99/mo.
On ClipDocker: 60 minutes, every caption style, AI AutoFrame, and every clip downloads (with a small watermark). On OpusClip's free plan every export is watermarked too, files expire after 3 days, and the editor and virality score are unavailable.
