MakeRoll vs Klap
The honest Klap alternative.
Klap prices in clips: $29 a month buys 100 of them, and how many a given video yields is decided by its AI rather than by you. MakeRoll prices the input instead: 600 minutes of source video a month on Creator, and however many clips those minutes turn out to be worth. Klap also lists no free plan; an hour of video runs through MakeRoll every month without a card.
| MakeRoll | Klap | |
|---|---|---|
| Cheapest paid plan | €15/mo · 600 min | $29/mo · 100 clips ($14/mo billed yearly) |
| Price per source minute | €0.025 | n/a (priced in clips) |
| Free plan | 1 video up to 1 hr / mo, full AI + editor, 720p, kept 7 days | None (paid plans only) |
| Watermark on paid plans | Never, on any paid plan | Not stated on their pricing page |
| Your files if you cancel | Kept a week after you cancel; anything you exported is yours for good | Not stated on their pricing page |
| AI clipping | Included in every plan | Included |

Why people switch
Pay for the footage, not for the guesses
A clip quota makes the AI’s output your unit of billing: a run that returns twelve clips when you wanted three has spent twelve of them. On MakeRoll a 60-minute podcast costs 60 credits whether it yields two clips or twenty, and re-cutting them costs nothing.
A real editor, not a clip picker
Klap hands you finished clips to accept or discard. MakeRoll hands you a timeline: the transcript is the edit, striking a sentence ripples the cut through frame-accurately, captions follow every word, and the export is pixel-identical to the preview.
You can try it before paying
Klap’s pricing page lists no free tier. MakeRoll Free runs a full hour of source video through the entire pipeline every month (same AI, same editor, no card), which is the only honest way to find out whether it works on your own footage.
Where Klap is ahead
Klap’s annual pricing is genuinely aggressive: $14/mo billed yearly undercuts our €15 outright if you commit for a year and a hundred clips a month fits your volume. It also includes unlimited connected social accounts on every plan, where ours are tied to the tier.
