Clipped turns long recordings (podcasts, interviews, lectures, livestreams) into short, ready-to-post clips, entirely on your iPhone. No uploads. No account. No monthly credit limits. Because every model runs on-device, Clipped works in airplane mode and never sends your footage anywhere. HOW IT WORKS 1. Import a long video: podcast, interview, lecture, livestream, or vlog. 2. Pick an AI engine on Home: Apple Intelligence, a downloadable model for the best picks, or No AI to choose moments yourself. Apple's on-device Speech engine transcribes the audio in up to 14 languages, depending on your device. 3. The AI reads the whole video, finds the strongest moments and gives every clip a viral score. 4. Style it in the clip studio: 10 caption styles with a live preview, your colors, cinematic looks, a title bar and your @handle. 5. Reframe from 16:9 to 9:16 with face detection and tracking. Pick a layout: a crop that follows the speaker, split-screen, or blur-fill. 6. Polish and plan: trim or extend any clip, remove every pause in one tap, fix caption words, then schedule each post and get a reminder when it's time. 7. Export straight to your Camera Roll, ready to post to TikTok, Reels, or Shorts. NEW IN 3.0 - Clip studio with One word, Neon, Behind speaker and more caption styles, plus looks and title bars - Viral score on every clip, picked from across the whole video - Remove pauses, trim and extend, and caption editing - Posting plan with reminders for every post - Louder, cleaner exports and a layout made for iPhone Duo WHY ON-DEVICE MATTERS - Your footage never leaves your phone. No cloud, no server, nothing to leak. - Works anywhere: airplane mode, no signal, remote shoots, sensitive client footage. - No account required. Open the app and start clipping. - No monthly credit limits. One podcast or fifty, clip as many as you like, every day. PERFECT FOR - Podcasters turning full episodes into shorts - Streamers and YouTubers clipping long VODs and streams - Interviewers, coaches, and course creators repurposing long recordings - Anyone who wants full control over sensitive or unreleased footage HONEST PRICING Clipped is free to use. Every export includes a small watermark until you remove it with a single one-time purchase. That's the whole model: no subscription, no monthly credits, no "Pro" tier, no paywalled features. Most apps in this category charge a monthly subscription or meter you with credits. With Clipped, what you pay never changes, whether you clip once or every single day.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Clipped at 4.7 against SnapScript's 3.0. Clipped also leads on ratings volume (16 vs 2). SnapScript's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. SnapScript sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $29.99 per year and Clipped sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Clipped holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Clipped has 16 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
SnapScript ships an update weekly, Clipped every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
