A 60-minute podcast episode costs 60 credits to clip on Opus Clip, which is about $5.80 of the $29 Pro plan. If it yields ten usable clips, the tool cost is about 58 cents a clip. Fiverr clippers list the same clip at $5, $10 and $15. The gap is not the AI picking the moments. It is somebody rewriting the hook, fixing the captions, naming the clips and sending the podcaster a report that says which ones worked.

A minute of AI-dubbed video with lip sync costs about 29 cents in HeyGen credits on its $29 Creator plan. The Fiverr listings for the same service start at $10, $15 and $20, and one lip-sync gig starts at $120. That gap is the whole business, and it exists because the client is not paying for the render. They are paying for someone to check the brand names, fix the one line the model got wrong, deliver the files in the right shape and tell them honestly that a synthetic voice was used.
