OpenClip turns long videos into captioned, scheduled short-form clips for social networks. Its $1K MRR is verified through the payment provider's API by TrustMRR (Stripe), as of September 30, 2026.

OpenClip sells AI video repurposing software. It turns long videos into captioned short-form clips formatted for TikTok, Reels, Shorts, X, and LinkedIn, with scheduling included.

Where customers come from

The site shows distribution through an OpenClip MCP server for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and AI agents. It also provides a Discord creator community with more than 2,000 members and free browser-based tools.

The pages identify individual creators, professional creators, marketers, teams, and brands as users.

What stands out

OpenClip combines repurposing, captions, reformatting, scheduling, AI UGC ads, and AI-assistant access in one product. The site says users can upload once and get clips for several social networks.

The free tools and creator community are visible parts of the product surface. The business plan is aimed at brands and teams that run on video.

Where it sits in the data

OpenClip's $1K MRR is higher than 75% of the 5,602 projects with payment-verified revenue in our dataset; the median across them is $150. Within the “Social Media” category (541 projects) it is higher than 74% (category median $152). Snapshot: 2026-09-02 to 2026-09-30. The dataset only covers founders who chose to publish their numbers, so it leans toward businesses that work; use it for scale, not as an average.

Currency

All figures are in US dollars as published. A rough yuan or euro conversion is not applied here because prices, taxes and acquisition costs differ by country.

Could you build something like this?

In my view, demand is clearest for creators, marketers, teams, and brands that repeatedly publish video and need to adapt the same material across social networks. The buyer would be the person or team responsible for producing and distributing that content.

My view is that distribution would need to come from search, creator communities, integrations, referrals, or direct outreach. The difficult parts are reliable video processing, useful moment selection, caption quality, scheduling across networks, support load, and competition in AI content tools.

Verdict: Needs real work.

One thing to take from it

OpenClip packages a recurring creator workflow rather than selling only a single AI feature: find hooks, make clips, add captions, prepare formats, and schedule distribution.
