RipClip vs Medal
In short: they solve different halves of the job. Medal records your gameplay on PC or phone and saves a clip when you press a hotkey or when it detects an in-game event, with a free tier and instant share links. RipClip works after the stream: paste a Kick or Twitch VOD link and it finds the moments in the whole broadcast, then you edit, schedule and track the clips. Choose Medal to capture plays as they happen; choose RipClip to turn finished streams into a week of posts.

- A free tier on PC and phone, and instant share links.

- A posting calendar for six networks and view tracking.
Who each is for
RipClip fits streamers who want a week of posts out of each finished stream. Medal fits PC and mobile gamers who want to save plays the moment they happen. Many streamers could use both.
