Local-first AI memory for your videos, audio and meetings - transcribe, search and query your own archive from Claude or ChatGPT via MCP. 7-day trial, then $24.99/mo.
Editor's take: “Local-first media search with an unusual MCP bridge, priced above the transcription market” — Sohail Akhtar
How we checked: read directly from the vendor's own pricing page — source
Clipto has repositioned from a short-form video clipper to a local AI memory platform, and there is no free tier — only a 7-day trial whose quotas the vendor does not publish. Our page had described a free tier and a $20/mo Pro plan; both were wrong.
| What | What we found | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Free tier | None. Access is a 7-day trial described as a Premium access pass. | Changed since last check |

| Clipto Pro (annual) | $12.49/month billed annually (presented as a 50% discount) | Confirmed |
| Trial quotas | The vendor does not state what the 7-day trial allows — no minutes, file or export limits are published. | Vendor doesn't publish this |
| Transcription accuracy | No accuracy figure is published anywhere on the site. The vendor states 99+ LANGUAGES, which is a coverage claim, not an accuracy claim. | Vendor doesn't publish this |
| Product positioning | Now "Local AI Memory Platform for Your Media" — local-first transcription and indexing, AI search over your own archive, and MCP integration with Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor. Short-form clip generation is no longer led with. | Changed since last check |

Editor verification notes
Checked by the TheToolsVerse Verification Desk — by reading the vendor's own published pages, not by testing the product in an account. Clipto.AI can change prices at any time without notice. The date above is the last time we looked; if it looks old, treat every figure here as unconfirmed and check Clipto.AI directly before paying.

Limitations
| Plan | Details |
|---|---|
| Free | No permanent free tier. Access is a 7-day trial described as a Premium access pass; the vendor does not publish the trial's usage quotas, so the limits are not knowable before signing up. |
| Paid | Clipto Pro: $24.99/month standing rate ($9.99 first month only), or $12.49/month billed annually. Includes unlimited video and audio search, automatic speech transcription, automatic people tagging, 99+ language support, video analysis up to 6 hours per file, and access to advanced models. |
7-day free trial, no permanent free tier. Clipto Pro is $24.99/month at the standing rate, discounted to $9.99 for the first month only, or $12.49/month billed annually. All paid plans carry the same features - the only difference is billing frequency. The trial's usage quotas are not published by the vendor.
Quick Summary
Clipto.AI is now simply Clipto, and it is no longer a shorts clipper. The product it ships today is a local-first AI memory layer for your own media: it transcribes and indexes your videos, audio, meetings and documents on your machine, then lets you search across all of it and pipe the results into Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor over MCP. There is no permanent free tier — a 7-day trial, then $24.99 a month, or $12.49 a month billed annually.
