Snazo makes vertical clips from long videos, but every plan is a subscription, and the cheapest is $19.99 a month (or $9.99 a month if you pay for a year up front). Its own FAQ says there is no free plan. CleanCut does the same job, from a YouTube link or an uploaded file, and gives you one video a day for free, up to 30 minutes, with no watermark and no sign-up.

What is the same
Both tools take a long video, find the moments that stand on their own, crop them to 9:16 around the person talking and burn in captions. Both read YouTube links and accept uploads. Both give you MP4 files you can post on TikTok, Reels and Shorts.
What is different
- You can try CleanCut without paying or signing up. Paste a link and you get the clips; an account only comes in when you buy minutes.
- No yearly commitment. Plus is billed month to month at $7.99, and you can cancel from your account page.
- A one-time top-up. If you clip now and then, 120 minutes cost $4.99 once and never expire.
- Refunds. If you pay and don’t use the paid minutes, ask within 7 days and we refund you.
What Snazo does that we don’t (yet)
Snazo has more editing controls after the clips are made, and more templates. CleanCut gives you finished clips with captions and a title; if you want to restyle them, take the MP4 into your usual editor. If that matters more than the price, Snazo may suit you better.
How to switch
There is nothing to move: paste the YouTube link of the next video you want to clip. If a link doesn’t work, upload the file and it is clipped the same way. Your first video each day is free.
