HONEST COMPARISON

VODcraft vs Eklipse
for Gaming Streamers

Eklipse is a genuinely good automation tool with a big, happy user base. It is also solving a different problem than VODcraft. Here is a straight, fact-checked look at both — including when you should pick theirs over ours.

The Short Version

Eklipse automates clip production. Per its own site, it watches your streams, finds moments with AI, and prepares ready-to-post clips for TikTok, Shorts and Reels across Twitch, YouTube and Kick — with a mobile app so you can edit away from your desk. Their site reports more than a million clips created by around 900,000 streamers.

VODcraft explains the stream. It reads the whole VOD — what you said, how chat reacted, where the audio spiked — then scores each moment and tells you why, maps the narrative arc for long-form edits, and hands you a timeline your editor can open.

One is a clip factory. One is a second opinion on your content. Which you want depends entirely on what is actually slowing you down.

How we wrote this. Everything we say about Eklipse comes from Eklipse's own website, checked in August 2026. We don't quote their pricing or plan limits here — those change, and we'd rather you read them from the source than trust a number on a competitor's page. Eklipse is a good product made by people solving the same problem we are. If it fits your workflow better than ours, use it — a bigger, better-served creator community is good for everybody.

Where Eklipse Wins

We would rather tell you this plainly than have you find out after paying us:

  • Hands-off volume. Eklipse is designed so you barely touch it. If you want clips appearing without thinking about it, that is its core strength and VODcraft does not compete on it.
  • A mobile app. You can review and edit on your phone. VODcraft is a desktop web app — if you work from your phone, that is a real difference.
  • Scale and maturity. A million-plus clips and a large user base means a lot of edge cases have already been found and fixed. VODcraft is far smaller and newer.
  • Kick support. Eklipse lists Kick alongside Twitch and YouTube. VODcraft's automatic VOD fetching is Twitch-based today, with YouTube links and file upload as the other routes in.

If those are your priorities, use Eklipse. Seriously — the wrong tool for your workflow is a bad deal at any price.

Where VODcraft Is Different

  • It tells you why, not just where. Every clip carries a virality score with the reasoning behind it, who the clip is for, what makes them stay, and what would make them follow. You end up understanding your own content better, not just holding more files.
  • Long-form, not only shorts. VODcraft maps your stream's story — the objective, the low point, the payoff — and gives a chapter-by-chapter keep, trim or cut plan for a YouTube edit. Short-form clippers, by design, do not do this.
  • Your editor, your timeline. Export a real timeline to Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro or CapCut with every cut in place, named and ordered. If you already edit, VODcraft slots in front of your workflow instead of replacing it.
  • Clip Lab for clips you already made. Upload a finished clip and get an honest hook score for the first three seconds, a retention map of where viewers would drop, and titles and hashtags — before you post it.

Choose Eklipse If…

  • You want clips generated with as little involvement as possible.
  • You work from your phone and want a mobile app.
  • Volume of short-form output is the metric you care about.
  • You stream on Kick.

Choose VODcraft If…

  • You want to understand why a moment works, not just receive a file.
  • You are building long-form YouTube edits as well as shorts.
  • You finish in Premiere, Resolve, Final Cut or CapCut and want the cuts handed over.
  • You want a second opinion on clips you have already made before posting them.
