The Klap Alternative
Klap makes good clips. It also lists a single plan at $79 a month on monthly billing, which only drops to $39 if you commit to a year up front. Shortzly starts at $19 a month with a free tier, and adds faceless video generation and automated publishing that Klap does not offer.

Why people look for a Klap alternative
It is $79 a month unless you pay for a year
Klap's pricing page lists one Pro plan. Billed monthly it is $79; the advertised $39 requires annual billing paid up front. Shortzly is $19 a month for 30 clips and $49 for 100, with no annual commitment required for either price.
One plan, whether you need it or not
Klap sells 300 clips a month as a single tier. If you publish ten clips a month you still pay for three hundred. Shortzly tiers at 3 free, 30 on Starter, and 100 on Pro so the plan can match the output.
No free plan on the pricing page
Klap advertises a free trial rather than a free tier, so there is no ongoing zero-cost option once the trial ends. Shortzly's free plan continues indefinitely at 3 clips and 1 faceless video a month.
It only clips what you have already filmed
Klap turns long video into shorts. If you have no long video, it has nothing to work with. Shortzly also generates faceless videos from a topic, and can run the whole loop - topic, script, render, publish - on a schedule.

Where Klap is the better choice
- At 300 clips a month it includes three times Shortzly's Pro volume. If you genuinely publish at that rate, the cost per clip is lower.
- It has a public API. Shortzly does not expose one, so if you are building clipping into your own product Klap is the option that supports it.
- It is an established tool with a large user base - its own site cites 8.5 million clips from 3.5 million creators - so there is more community knowledge to draw on.
- A single plan is simpler. There is no working out which tier you need or hitting a limit mid-month.
