Attribute	Adobe Podcast	OpusClip
Plans	FreeOur pick Free Fixing the odd recording.	Free Free Trying it on a few videos.
	Premium (via Firefly Pro) $19.99/mo People cleaning up audio or video every week.	Starter $15/mo Solo creators posting a few shorts a week.
		ProOur pick $29/mo Anyone posting daily or running a team.
		Business Custom Agencies and media companies at volume.
Which plan to pick	The free plan handles most business needs. Pay for Premium only if you regularly fix video files, need to batch-process episodes, or already want Firefly Pro for images.	Free is enough to see if the clips are any good. Starter removes the watermark, but Pro is the plan most people end up on: it adds the scheduler, all 9 posting platforms, extra brand templates, 16:9 and 1:1 reframing and export to Premiere. Business only makes sense for agencies or media teams.

Pros and cons

Attribute	Adobe Podcast	OpusClip
Pros	Simple: upload, wait, download Free plan is generous for occasional use Results on typical laptop and phone audio are excellent Mic Check helps you record better next time	The fastest way to turn one long video into lots of shorts AI Producer does a full edit of raw footage from a short brief Captions and reframing are accurate and easy to fix Scheduler, API and MCP mean you can automate posting
Cons	Can make voices sound robotic or muffled on very poor recordings Free plan is audio-only, one file at a time, with no strength control Premium is now bundled into Firefly Pro, so you pay for image tools you may not need Not a full editor; you still need another app to cut the content	Built for talking content, so it's weak on cinematic or screen-recorded videos Credits run out quickly on long videos and repeated edits The scheduler, team seats and Premiere export need Pro AI Producer is still in beta, with a 5-minute limit per video
