Kairos uses research-backed AI to find moments other tools miss — and every feature is available on Free. No feature gates, no watermarks, no enterprise upsells. Just pay for the minutes you need.
Why Kairos
Opus Clip locks editing, captions, and social posting behind paid plans. Kairos gives you every feature on Free — AI clipping, animated captions, virality scoring, social posting, editing. The only limit is processing time. Upgrade when you need more minutes, not to unlock basics.
Opus Clip's free tier is watermarked, expires clips in 3 days, and blocks editing. Kairos Free gives you the full platform with no watermarks and no feature restrictions. Pro just means more processing minutes.
Opus Clip pushes you toward Business and Enterprise plans with sales calls and annual contracts. Kairos is laser-focused on individual creators and small teams who need a fast, simple tool — not a procurement process.
Word-level animated subtitles are included on every plan, including Free. No separate upsell, no add-on pricing. Captions that boost retention and accessibility are part of the core experience from day one.
