April update: new UI, new pricing, affiliate program, and Discord

A refreshed interface, simpler pricing tiers, an affiliate program for creators, and a Discord server you can join today.

·4 min read·By Alex Lapointe

We’ve been heads-down for the last few weeks rebuilding a lot of what you see (and some of what you don’t). Here’s everything that shipped this month.

A cleaner, faster interface

The entire ZipClip UI has been refreshed. The chat experience, the dashboard, the editor, the preview panel — all of it got a pass. The goal was simple: less visual noise, faster workflows, and fewer clicks between “I have a video” and “I have a clip ready to post.”

These aren’t cosmetic tweaks. We rebuilt components from the ground up to cut render time and make the whole app feel more responsive. If you haven’t opened ZipClip in a while, it’s worth another look.

Simpler pricing, more credits

We’ve consolidated our plans to make things clearer. No more guessing which tier you need.

PlanCreditsPrice
Free6 to start$0
Pro125 / month$29/mo · $19/mo annual
Max350 / month$79/mo · $53/mo annual

Every plan now includes 1080p exports (Pro and Max), up to 5-hour video imports (Max), and priority render queues for paid users. The free tier now gives you 30 minutes per month with real exports — no card required, no time limit.

If you were on the old Starter plan, nothing changes for you — you’re grandfathered in at the same rate with Pro-level features.

Affiliate program for creators

If you’re already posting clips made with ZipClip, you can now earn for every paying user you refer. The program is open to Pro and Max subscribers.

We built this for creators who are already clipping, not coupon sites or paid-ad arbitrage. The application takes 2 minutes and we review within 48 hours.

We’re launching a Discord

We’ve been talking to users over email and support tickets, but we wanted something faster and more open. Starting today, there’s an official ZipClip Discord where you can:

It’s open to everyone — free users, Pro, Max, affiliates. We want this to be where the clipping community hangs out.

We’re shipping every week. Upcoming: batch exports, team workspaces, and deeper caption customization. Follow the blog or join the Discord to stay in the loop. See you Friday.
