How much does CueClip cost?

CueClip is $149 for a lifetime license or $29 per month. Lifetime includes 30,000 AI credits once; monthly includes 20,000 AI credits that reset each billing cycle. About 1,000 credits covers an hour of video, so monthly is roughly 20 hours a month.

What pricing models should I expect from AI video editors?

Most AI video editors use recurring subscriptions ($16–$100+/month) with AI costs bundled in. CueClip offers either a one-time lifetime license or a simple monthly plan, plus optional bring-your-own OpenAI, Claude, or Deepgram key so AI usage stays at cost.

Can I use my own OpenAI, Claude, or Deepgram key?

Yes. Connect your own OpenAI, Claude, or Deepgram key to pay AI processing at cost with no CueClip markup — useful when lecture volume grows.

Direct purchases from CueClip include a 7-day refund window. Email support@cueclip.app with your checkout email and order details. Third-party storefronts follow their own refund rules.

How CueClip pricing compares

Educators usually compare three patterns. CueClip is built around the third so weekly publishers aren't surprised by credit cliffs.
