Preise und Grenzen von KI-Video-Clippern, 17. September 2026
Katto is priced in EUR; competitor prices are in USD as listed on each vendor's site. Prices are for the cheapest paid plan relevant to the product. Read Pricing model, Quota, Max source length and Key limits together. Erneut geprüft quarterly.
Was die Erhebung zeigt
- 01Zugänge für Agenten bleiben selten. 16 von 24 Werkzeugen bieten eine öffentliche API und 11 einen MCP-Server; 11 haben beides, womit 5 eine API ohne MCP und 0 einen MCP-Server ohne API haben. Weniger als die Hälfte dieser Clipper lässt sich heute durchgängig von einem Agenten steuern.
- 02Die meisten rechnen nach Dauer oder Credits ab, nicht nach Ergebnis. 9 von 24 arbeiten mit KI-Credits, und die Mehrheit rechnet nach Quellminuten oder -stunden ab, ein längeres Video kostet also mehr. Nur 3 rechnen nach Anzahl der Videos ab, unabhängig von der Länge.
- 0321 von 24 bieten einen echten Gratis-Tarif, 3 nur eine Testphase; und selbst unter den Gratis-Tarifen setzen die meisten ein Wasserzeichen oder begrenzen auf wenige Clips im Monat — die Spalten „Free tier“ und „Key limits“ sagen, welche.
- 04„Am günstigsten für einen Clip“ und „am günstigsten in der Menge“ sind zwei verschiedene Fragen. Mehrere Credit-Pakete liegen bei einem einzelnen kurzen Video unter einem Abo; die Pro-Video-Tarife (Katto unter den 3) ziehen erst vorbei, wenn man wöchentlich Langformat veröffentlicht.
Die Zahlen werden aus den 24 Zeilen unten berechnet und ändern sich mit ihnen. Siehe die Methodik.

Legende: Yes = auf einer offiziellen Quelle bestätigt · No = nicht angeboten · ? = noch nicht bestätigt (nie ein geratener Haken).
25 Videos. Keine Minutenrechnerei. API und MCP inklusive. Lokale Clipper (Reelify, Ascynd) sind auf eine Person vor einem Mac zugeschnitten; Katto ist auf den Ablauf zugeschnitten, der weiterläuft, wenn der Mensch geht — Ausführung in der Cloud plus Veröffentlichung auf mehreren Plattformen.
Methodik
Preise, Kontingente und Funktionen wurden am September 17, 2026 auf den offiziellen Preis-, Hilfe- oder Entwicklerseiten jedes Anbieters erneut geprüft. Die Jahresspalte ist der Monatsbetrag bei jährlicher Abrechnung. „—“ bedeutet, dass diese Abrechnungsvariante nicht aufgeführt ist; „see site“, dass der Betrag vom Bezahlvorgang abhängt oder erst dynamisch erzeugt wird. Die Kontingentmodelle bleiben ausdrücklich stehen, damit Minuten, Credits, Videos und Clips nicht als gleichwertig behandelt werden. Die Felder API, MCP und Auto-Veröffentlichung zeigen „?“, solange keine offizielle Quelle die Funktion bestätigt. Wir veröffentlichen nie eine geratene Zahl. Die Spalte „Abgerechnet nach“ ist aus dem Abrechnungsmodell abgeleitet und nicht eigens belegt: sie bringt denselben Sachverhalt auf ein kurzes Vokabular, damit sich die Tabelle auf einer Achse lesen lässt.
