OpusClip, Descript or Canva?
A plain guide for agents.
Three good tools, built for different people. OpusClip cuts clips from any video, Descript edits video by editing the words, Canva designs posts from templates. AgentRecast is built only for agents. Here is which to pick for what.

OpusClip and Descript plans as listed on their pricing pages on October 31, 2026; check their pages for today's numbers. Descript shows a lower price billed yearly; we quote the lowest it shows. Canva's page could not be read automatically, so we quote no Canva price: see canva.com/pricing. OpusClip, Descript and Canva are trademarks of their owners. AgentRecast is not affiliated with any of them.
Each is the right pick for someone.
- OpusClip when you make content outside real estate too, or want the lowest price for clips alone. More in AgentRecast vs OpusClip.
- Descript when you want to edit yourself: cut a podcast by deleting words, remove filler words, clean up the sound. More in AgentRecast vs Descript.
- Canva when you design flyers, posts and brand graphics and want every frame your own. More in a Canva alternative for real estate video.
- AgentRecast when you want the video made for you, from your listing or your own video, without learning an editor.
From a listing or a video.
- From a listing link: photo reels read by an AI voice with subtitles, a narrated video of the whole home and an Instagram carousel. See Zillow listing to Instagram reel and just listed and just sold reels.
- From your YouTube video or a file: vertical clips with captions and a headline, posts and an email newsletter. See real estate Shorts from a YouTube video.
- Changes in plain words: ask for "a shorter headline" or "start at the part about rates", or edit the words yourself.
Free to start, no card.
- Free: 60 minutes of video a month, no card. Clips and reels carry a small watermark.
- Starter, $25 a month: 150 minutes, no watermark, 3 AI edits per video.
- Pro, $29 a month: 300 minutes, 10 AI edits per video.
A minute of the video you bring is a minute; a listing link counts as 10. A project that makes no clips costs no minutes.
Before you pick.
Can I use AgentRecast with Canva?
Yes. Many agents keep Canva for flyers and brand graphics. AgentRecast makes the reels and clips; download them and post them, or put them into a Canva design.
Is AgentRecast cheaper?
Not for clips alone: OpusClip Starter is $15 and ours is $25 for 150 minutes. Every AgentRecast plan includes the listing videos, the whole-home reels and the written posts.
Do I need to film anything?
No. A Zillow, Redfin, Realtor.com, Trulia or Homes.com link is enough for reels, a narrated video and a carousel.
Can I try it first?
Yes. The free plan gives 60 minutes of video a month with no card.
Try it on your
next listing.
