Kick clip makers compared

In short: four AI clip makers say on their own pages that they take Kick: RipClip, OpusClip, Eklipse and StreamLadder. RipClip takes Kick VOD and clip links on every plan, the free one included. Eklipse lists Kick as a Premium feature, StreamLadder imports Kick VODs and clips by link, and OpusClip lists Kick in its help centre. The right one depends on whether you want game-event detection, phone apps, a full editor or a posting calendar.

Which tools take Kick

Tool	Kick support, per its own pages	Price
RipClip	VOD and clip links, on every plan	Free $0; from $29.99 a month
Eklipse	Connect a Kick channel; a Premium feature	Premium $24.99 a month or $179.99 a year
StreamLadder	Kick VODs and clips by link	Free (watermark), Starter, Creator; prices not shown on the pages we loaded
OpusClip	Listed in its help centre; not named among plan imports on its pricing page	Free $0; from $15 a month

What each stands out for

RipClip: a full timeline editor, a posting calendar and view tracking on every plan.
Eklipse: game-aware detection across more than 3,000 games, and a mobile app.
StreamLadder: facecam-and-gameplay layouts and phone apps.
OpusClip: many import sources, team plans and an API.

The pages we checked for Klap, Vizard, Submagic, CapCut, Descript and Captions did not mention Kick links; they work from uploads or other link sources.

What to check before you choose

Kick on your plan. Some tools take Kick only on paid plans, or list it in one place and not another.
Stream length. Can it take your whole stream, or only an hour of it?
What the free plan exports. Some free plans only preview clips; others export with a watermark.
How clips are found. Game-event detection suits gameplay; reading the whole stream suits talk, IRL and mixed streams.
What happens next. Do you need a real editor, scheduling and view counts, or just the clips?

Why streamers try RipClip

Paste a Kick or Twitch link. VODs and clips work on every plan, even before you sign up. No downloading a 4-hour file first.
A whole stream, free. The free plan's 110 HU cover a 4-hour stream, exported in 1080p. Or try one 30-minute video without an account.
Pay for stream hours, not clips. Clip exports and edits are unlimited, and every minute costs less the longer the stream.
A real editor, included. An 8-track timeline with keyframes, speed ramps, 44 effects and colour grading, in the browser. The preview uses the same maths as the export.
Clip, edit, schedule, track. One calendar for TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, Threads and X, and live view counts on what you post.*
Streams up to 12 hours. 4 hours on Free and Creator, 8 on Pro, 12 on Studio.

*Posting switches on platform by platform as each one approves RipClip; until then, download your clips and post them yourself.

Questions.

Is there a free Kick clip maker?

Yes. RipClip's free plan takes Kick VOD and clip links and gives 110 HU once, enough for a 4-hour stream, with 1080p exports carrying a watermark. StreamLadder lists a free plan with a watermark. Eklipse's free sign-up previews clips, but exporting needs Premium.

Which Kick clip maker is best?

It depends on your streams. For gameplay with game-event detection, look at Eklipse. For facecam layouts and phone apps, StreamLadder. For a full editor and a posting calendar on every plan, RipClip. Try the free options on one of your own VODs before paying.
