Crayo vs Eklipse
As of October 9, 2026, Crayo is the better pick for clippers who upload stream VODs or paste YouTube links: it meters per finished clip with no streams-per-day cap, ranks the moments, and puts a timeline editor and a public API on one $19 plan. Eklipse is the better pick if you need Twitch or Kick VODs pulled in automatically, a live clip-it voice command, console capture or a phone app. Crayo imports neither platform. The evidence is below.
Pick Crayo if
- You clip more than Eklipse's cap allows: Eklipse Premium processes up to 3 streams a day and 45 clips per output, while Crayo Hobby gives 250 credits a month, one per finished clip, with no per-day count.
- You want the moments ranked before you cut: AutoClip returns 1 to 20 ranked clips with a streamer layout for gameplay plus facecam, and Find Viral Moments lists up to 50 ranked moments before a credit is spent.
- You want a full timeline editor with a camera track, keyframes, speed ramps and 32 caption styles in 56 spoken languages on every plan, not a vertical template editor, plus a 34-endpoint API.
Pick Eklipse if
- Your streams live on Twitch or Kick and you want the VOD pulled in by OAuth after each stream. Crayo does not import Twitch or Kick VODs; you upload the file or paste a YouTube link.
- You stream from a PS5 or Xbox without a capture card, or want to say clip it on stream and have the moment saved. Crayo has neither.
- You want iOS and Android apps and a publisher that posts to TikTok, Shorts and Reels. Crayo is a browser app and you post the export yourself.

Pricing side by side
A worked example for a clipper's month, then every plan from both vendors. Eklipse prices were checked Oct 8, 2026.
| A typical month | Crayo | Eklipse |
|---|---|---|
| Plan needed | Hobby | Premium |
| Cost | $19/mo or about $13.33/mo yearly | $24.99/mo, $112.99 per 6 months, or $179.99/yr (about $14.99/mo) |
| Allowance used | 32 of 250 workflow credits and about 32 of 120 export minutes; each 60-minute VOD is under the 3-hour, 4 GB source limit | 4 streams a month against a cap of 3 streams a day, 8 clips each against 45 per output; a 60-minute VOD is far below the 6-hour limit |
| Note | The VOD is uploaded as a file or pasted as a YouTube link; Crayo does not import Twitch or Kick VODs. Prices from the live plan table. | No public pricing page; figures from Eklipse's help center, updated Apr 12, 2026. $27.99/mo if bought in the mobile apps. |
Scenario: One 60-minute stream VOD a week, eight clips each: 240 source minutes and 32 clips a month.

From eklipse.gg/help/how-much-does-eklipse-premium-cost, checked Oct 8, 2026. There is no public pricing page: eklipse.gg/pricing shows no prices and the Pricing nav link opens the login-gated app.eklipse.gg/register. Every figure ($24.99/mo, $112.99 per 6 months, $179.99/yr, about $14.99/mo, $27.99/mo in-app) was fetched from Eklipse's own help center page updated Apr 12, 2026, and matches the blog's Premium page modified Sep 27, 2026. The blog's free-vs-paid post says about $12.50/mo on annual, which conflicts; the help center figure is used. The 3 streams a day, 45 clips per output and 12-hour VOD limits come from the blog; the help center says 6 hours for Twitch and Kick. A human browser check of the logged-in checkout would confirm the live price.

Where Crayo wins
- 01
Crayo has no streams-per-day cap; Eklipse Premium stops at 3 streams a day.
Eklipse's blog, modified Sep 27, 2026, lists Premium at up to 3 streams a day and 45 clips per output, and its help center caps Twitch and Kick VODs at 6 hours. Crayo meters by finished clip, takes sources up to 3 hours or 4 GB each, and counts no streams. Source
- 02
Crayo's timeline editor is on every plan; Eklipse Studio is a vertical template editor.
Eklipse's own comparison table, updated July 2026, describes Eklipse Studio as timeline, templates and overlays. Crayo's editor adds a camera track, keyframes, zooms, transitions, speed ramps, motion blur, loudness normalization and 32 caption styles with keyword highlight, and opens any AutoClip clip in it. Source
- 03
Eklipse's own review says its detection misses more than it catches on Just Chatting, IRL and MOBA streams.
The statement is on blog.eklipse.gg, which also says VODs can wait hours during peak evenings and weekends. Crayo's AutoClip ranks moments from the transcript and has action and no-talking content modes for gameplay; the scheduled test below will put dated numbers on both tools. Source
- 04
Crayo cancels in one click from Settings; Eklipse does not describe cancellation on its pricing or refund pages.
Eklipse's refund policy, checked Oct 8, 2026, says refunds are generally not provided and does not describe a cancel flow. Crayo's plan stays active to the end of the cycle after a one-click cancel and nothing further is charged. Source
- 05
Crayo has a 34-endpoint API with webhooks on every plan; Eklipse publishes no API.
Eklipse's homepage and features, checked Oct 8, 2026, list stream clipping, AI captions, templates and a publisher, with no public API. Crayo's API and webhooks are on the entry plan, with docs at crayo.ai/developers, and the same plan also includes AI voiceover, AI images and Enhance Speech. Source
Where Eklipse wins
- 01
Eklipse pulls Twitch, Kick and YouTube VODs in by OAuth and saves clips from a voice command during a live stream.
Eklipse's about page lists official Twitch, Kick and YouTube integrations, and the homepage shows the clip-it Voice Command. Crayo takes YouTube and TikTok links or a file upload, so a Twitch or Kick streamer downloads the VOD and uploads it, up to 4 GB and 3 hours per source. Source
- 02
Eklipse detects game events across 3,000+ games and captures console streams without a capture card.
The about page, read Oct 8, 2026, claims 3,000+ games supported and a Console Streamer mode for PS5 and Xbox. Crayo has no game-event library; its gameplay clips come from the transcript and the action and no-talking modes. Source
- 03
Eklipse has iOS and Android apps and a publisher that posts to TikTok, Shorts and Reels.
The iOS app has been listed since April 2023 and the about page cites 100,000+ Google Play installs; the homepage lists the Content Publisher. Crayo is a browser app with no native scheduling, so you download the export and post it. Source
- 04
Eklipse captures Ultra Highlights at up to 1440p and sells a human Pro Edits service.
The homepage lists 1440p capture and Premium exports at 1080p 60fps; the premium page describes Pro Edits with a 3-day turnaround, English audio only, price not stated. Crayo exports at up to 1080p and has no human editing service. Source

What Eklipse says about Crayo, checked
Claims published about Crayo, checked against the live product and plan table.
| Claim | Reality | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Crayo does not analyze your streams.eklipse.gg, Jul 22, 2026 | Not current. AutoClip finds and ranks moments in any uploaded stream VOD up to 3 hours or 4 GB, with a streamer layout that keeps gameplay and facecam in frame, action and no-talking content modes for gameplay, and virality ranking. The VOD comes in as a file upload or a YouTube link; Crayo does not pull from Twitch or Kick by OAuth, and Eklipse does. | AutoClip |
| Highlight detection: No, gameplay is background b-roll.eklipse.gg, Jul 22, 2026 | Not current. AutoClip cuts 1 to 20 ranked clips of 15 to 120 seconds from a gameplay VOD, and Find Viral Moments returns up to 50 ranked moments to review before cutting. Gameplay can also be used as background in Crayo's story-video generator, but that is a separate workflow, not the clipper. | AutoClip |
| AI voiceover + 15+ caption styles.eklipse.gg, Jul 22, 2026 | Half right. Crayo's AI voiceover has hundreds of voices on every plan. The caption count is 32 styles in the editor, with keyword highlight, and transcription in 56 spoken languages. | Caption styles |
| No free tier; paid tiers from about $19/mo.eklipse.gg, Jul 22, 2026 | Correct. Crayo has no free plan and no trial; the entry plan is Hobby at $19 a month for 250 workflow credits. Twelve free browser tools at crayo.ai/features/free need no account and never upload the file. Eklipse has had no free tier since June 2026 either, per its own help center. | Free tools |
| About $13/month billed annually.eklipse.gg, Jul 22, 2026 | Correct. Hobby is $160 a year, which works out to about $13.33 a month. The pricing page shows both monthly and yearly figures. | Pricing |

Hands-on test
Superiority claims need a described test behind them. This is the test and its status.
- Status
- Scheduled, not yet run
- Source
- A 2-hour gameplay stream VOD with facecam owned by Crayo
- Plans
- Eklipse Premium and Crayo Clipper, same file, same day, defaults first then one tuned run each
Until this test runs, the page shows no timings, clip counts or screenshots, and every claim above comes from published pricing and documentation. The results table replaces this note when it is done.
Show the protocolProtocol
- Same source file through both tools on the same day, defaults first, then one tuned run each.
- We pay for the competitor's entry paid plan and Crayo's Clipper plan and record browser, date and plan.
- We record time to first clip, total wall time, clips produced, clips judged usable, credits spent, list-price dollars for the run, export resolution, caption word errors on a fixed 60-second segment, and whether the speaker stayed framed.
- Usable means: starts and ends on a complete sentence, hook in the first two seconds, speaker framed, captions accurate enough to post without edits. Two reviewers, disagreements noted.
- If the competitor wins a row, it stays. If a run fails, we say so and show the error.
Switching from Eklipse to Crayo
- 01
Paste a link or upload the file
AutoClip accepts YouTube and TikTok links or file upload (up to 4 GB, 1 minute to 3 hours). Nothing to migrate from the other tool.
- 02
Pick a layout and an intensity
Speaker, streamer, split or full layout; subtle, balanced, dynamic or max editing; 1 to 20 clips per run.
- 03
Export at 1080p or open the editor
Download the clips as they are, or open any clip in the timeline editor to change captions, camera, zooms and music.
Your source files are yours on both sides. Crayo does not need an export from Eklipse; it works from the original video, and clips you already made in Eklipse stay wherever you saved them.
