Vizard charges by the minute. We charge by nothing.
That's the Vizard alternative you searched for. Vizard clips a long video and can post the results, which puts it ahead of most clippers - but one credit is one minute of source video, so the two-hour recording that most needs clipping is also the one that empties the account. Stargaze Studio has no per-minute meter: one upload becomes clips, covers, platform copy and a written article, published everywhere, and the work starts while the file is still uploading.
Vizard covers a slice. Stargaze runs all six as one flow.
Publishes to
Official APIs where they exist, our own publishing agent where they don't, including platforms like Patreon and HeroHero that have no public API at all.
Don't take our word for it. Watch the thing work.
The full walkthrough: one upload going in, and clips, covers, copy and articles coming out the other side.
We start before your upload finishes
Most tools queue: upload completes, then processing begins, then you wait. Stargaze works on the stream as it arrives — transcription, clip detection and copy are already running while the progress bar is still moving. You get usable output in minutes, not after a coffee break.
One tool instead of four plus a scheduler
A clipper, a caption app, an editor and a scheduler don't add up to a workflow — they add up to four exports, four logins and four bills. Stargaze runs the whole chain from one upload: clips, covers, platform copy in your voice, written articles, and publishing.
What you get that Vizard doesn't do
Clipping is one step of the six between a recording and a published post.
- 01
Long videos don't cost more here
Vizard meters in minutes of source video: one credit per minute, 60 credits a month on the free plan. A two-hour recording is roughly 120 credits before you have seen a single clip (as of September 2026). Stargaze has no per-minute meter during early access, so the length of what you record is a creative decision again, not a billing one.
- 02
Output starts while you're still uploading
Most tools queue: the upload completes, then processing begins, then you wait. Stargaze works on the stream as it arrives, so transcription, clip detection and copy are already running while the progress bar is still moving.
- 03
Covers and articles, not just clips
Vizard gives you clips with captions and a caption suggestion. It does not design your covers and it does not write the article. Both come out of the same Stargaze upload, in your colours and your voice.
- 04
Your work isn't on a three-day timer
Vizard's free plan keeps projects for three days and burns a watermark into the exported file at 720p (as of September 2026). Your Stargaze content stays yours, stored encrypted in the EU, and is never used to train models.

Free while we're in beta
Join now and you're a Founding Member: full access at no cost during early access, and you lock in Founding Member conditions when paid plans land. The first 1,000 spots filled ahead of schedule — the programme stays open until beta closes.
Free plan with 60 credits a month at 720p, then Creator at $29/mo and Business at $39/mo on monthly billing, roughly half that on annual (as of September 2026).
One credit is one minute of source video, so cost scales with the thing you were trying to save time on: a two-hour recording is about 120 credits, twice the whole free monthly allowance. On the free plan the watermark is burned into the exported file rather than overlaid, projects are kept for three days, and exports are capped at 720p.
Free
Full access during early access. No card, no credits, no per-minute meter.

Questions people actually ask
Vizard clips a long video, captions the clips and can schedule them, which is more than most clippers do. Stargaze runs the rest of the chain too: covers designed from the same upload, platform copy in your voice, a full written article, and publishing that also reaches platforms with no API, like Patreon and HeroHero.
One credit equals one minute of source video, and the free plan gives 60 credits a month (as of September 2026). That means a single two-hour podcast costs roughly 120 credits. Stargaze has no per-minute meter during early access.
Yes. Subtitles are generated for every clip automatically as part of processing, in 11 languages, and laid out to stay readable after each platform crops the frame.
Your content stays yours, stored encrypted in the EU, and is never used to train models. We don't delete your workspace on a three-day timer.
Yes - the interface, the transcription and the copy. Clips, subtitles, covers, platform copy and articles all come out in Czech from a Czech recording.
