FORKOFF Clipping is an operator-owned alternative to SaaS clipping. Built for teams shipping more than 200 clips per month or running paid distribution on top of organic. Outcome-priced at $0.003 per qualified view with an audit ledger per dollar spent.
$0.003 per qualified view. You pay for the view that cleared all four checks (watch, policy, geo, traffic), not the impression.
Every dollar of spend has a row. Reason codes for every rejected view. Weekly reporting from day one.
Embedded operator on every account. Custom-trained model on your footage. Brand kit and editorial choices live with the operator, not behind a SaaS template wall.
Selective on ICP. Five engagements per quarter. Suited to teams whose volume justifies it. If you ship under 100 clips per month, OpusClip or Vizard is the right call.
clips.forkoff.xyz is a separate FORKOFF property. Pricing and intake live there.
Neither is universally better. OpusClip leads on viral hook scoring (ClipAnything) and reframing accuracy on talking-head footage. Vizard leads on translation, multi-language captions, and longer source-video support. Pick based on your input footage and output language mix, not on a leaderboard.
