Opus Clip vs quso.ai (formerly vidyo.ai): which one in 2026?
quso.ai, which used to be vidyo.ai, is the closer thing to a whole workflow: clipping through its CutMagic feature plus scheduling and publishing to several platforms, from roughly $29 a month or about $19 on annual billing. Opus Clip is the more capable clipper, from roughly $15 a month, with the scheduler on its higher tier. Pick quso if posting is the part of your week that keeps slipping. Pick Opus Clip if the quality of the clips themselves is what you care about.

What happened to vidyo.ai
Same product, new name. vidyo.ai rebranded to quso.ai and expanded from a clipper into a broader social suite, so older reviews and comparisons under the vidyo name describe an earlier, narrower version. If you are reading a 2024 write-up, assume the feature list has moved on and the pricing has changed.
Where quso.ai wins
It closes the loop. The paid tiers publish to six platforms from inside the product, so a clip goes from upload to scheduled without you downloading a file or opening another app, and the free tier will already publish to TikTok. Higher tiers add a content planner, a brand kit, an AI assistant and analytics. Its plans run roughly $29, $39 and $49 a month, dropping to around $19, $26 and $33 on annual billing, and annual billing also doubles the monthly credit allowance, which makes the yearly commitment unusually good value if you know you will keep clipping.
Where Opus Clip wins
The clipping itself. ClipAnything can search your footage by visual objects, sound and emotion rather than reading the transcript alone, which finds moments a text-driven clipper cannot. The manual reframe control is the best in the category when the auto-crop drifts on a two-person podcast. The virality score, treated as a queue order rather than a prediction, saves real time on a batch of thirty. And the entry price is lower, at roughly $15 a month against quso's roughly $29 monthly.
Price side by side
Verified in August 2026 and rounded. quso's annual pricing also increases the credits included, so compare on credits rather than on the headline price alone.

Which one should you pick
- You want the best chance of the AI finding the right moment: Opus Clip
- Posting is the step that keeps not happening: quso.ai
- You publish mainly to TikTok and want to spend nothing: quso.ai's free tier

- You will commit to a year and want the most credits per dollar: quso.ai on annual billing
The ceiling they share
A scheduler removes the uploading and leaves the deciding. Both tools still read your recording for something that looks like a complete thought, and both regularly end a clip a beat before the line that made it worth telling. Neither writes a better first second. Both give you captions that need a read. Automating the publishing of clips that were never going to be watched makes the week faster without making it work, which is the honest limit on the whole category.
The third option: neither
If the clips are going out and nothing is happening, the piece that is missing is judgement rather than distribution. A person watches the full episode, picks the moment that lands, writes the hook, captions it to read on mute, reframes it, reviews every clip and posts it across Instagram, TikTok and YouTube Shorts. At Brandboost that is what we do, backed by 20k views in your first week or you don't pay, with 20+ verified clients and a 5.0 rating on Upwork.
