Minutes or clips: which suits you
Vizard's free plan gives you 60 minutes of video every month. nine16's gives you 5 finished clips once, and they never expire. If you want to clip a little every month for free, Vizard's free plan goes further. If you want to see five finished clips at full 1080p first, nine16's does.
On paid plans, per-minute credits suit people who clip many hours of video and keep lots of clips from each. Per-clip credits suit people who want a few strong clips from long videos, because the minutes nobody sees cost nothing.
