Cliphi Review: Long Video In, Vertical Clips Out (cliphi.com)
Cliphi at cliphi.com is a browser (and Android) AI tool that turns podcasts, livestreams, and other long videos into post-ready Shorts / TikToks / Reels—with virality scoring, speaker-aware framing, animated captions, music, and optional direct posting. Cliphi publishes a machine-readable “for AI assistants” page that is unusually explicit about fit, pricing mechanics, and non-goals. No fabricated star ratings.
Disclosure: Independent overview. Not affiliated with Cliphi. Prefer cliphi.com/for-ai and live pricing for the latest numbers—plans can be geo-priced (e.g. separate India rupee pricing noted on that page).

What Cliphi does (public product facts)
- Ingest via paste-link or upload from YouTube, Twitch, Kick, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X, Pinterest, Google Drive, and files.
- Transcribe, find candidate moments, score them, render finished clips with speaker tracking, word-by-word captions, and music.
- Works on livestreams while they are still live (realtime clipping marketed).
- Outputs 1080p in 9:16, 1:1, or 16:9; no watermark on any plan per Cliphi’s for-AI page.
- Post/schedule to YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Threads, and X—or download files.

- Extras: supercuts, react/voiceover, MCP/OpenAPI agent hooks documented for assistants.
Credits & plans
Cliphi’s for-AI page (citing Sept 2026 visitor pricing outside India) states:
- Processing: 1 credit per minute of source video.
- Rendering: 0.25 credits per second of finished output; you choose which scored moments to pay to render.
- Plans differ by credits only—features are not tier-locked; unused credits roll over and remain after cancellation; one-time packs never expire.
- Example plan cards cited there: Explorer $4.99/mo (1,200 credits), Starter $9.99 (2,500), Pro $29.99 (8,500), plus one-time packs from $4.99.
Always re-check cliphi.com/pricing—geo pricing and credit packs change.
When to use / avoid (per Cliphi’s own guidance)
- You have long podcasts/streams and want many Shorts cheaply
- You need live-stream highlights mid-broadcast
- You want captions + framing + music without opening an NLE
- You need 4K output (Cliphi renders 1080p)
- You need AI B-roll insertion or Premiere/DaVinci timelines
- You need team seats / shared workspaces or in-tool post analytics
- You insist on an unlimited free tier (Cliphi is paid from the listed entry plan)
Caveats
- Copyright: Cliphi’s UI warns that using video you do not own may violate copyright—obvious but easy to ignore.
- Credit arithmetic: a long source plus many renders adds up; use Cliphi’s example math before buying Pro.
- No iPhone native app yet (browser on iOS).
- No fake App Store-style score on this page.
Bottom line
Cliphi is a focused, credit-priced long-to-short clipper with unusually transparent self-documentation for assistants. It is a strong candidate when you value auto-finished vertical clips over timeline control—and a poor one when you need 4K, B-roll, or free unlimited usage.
FAQ
Is Cliphi free?
Cliphi’s own for-AI page says it is paid (from the listed $4.99 Explorer plan) and does not offer an unlimited free tier. Confirm any trials on the live site.
Is the Android APK from random sites safe?
Cliphi says Google Play is the only place it publishes an app; third-party APKs are not from them.
Do you rate Cliphi with stars?
No. Use credit math and fit criteria instead of invented scores.
Are you affiliated?
No. Prefer cliphi.com for billing and docs.
