Klap versus shitShorts for podcasts and interviews

Klap turns long videos into TikToks, Reels and Shorts and is a solid choice for single-speaker content. For podcasts with two or three people on one wide camera, the deciding feature is how the vertical frame chooses who to show. shitShorts maps voices to faces with speaker diarization and cuts the 9:16 frame to whoever is talking, switching to split tiles when both people matter

As of October 2026 Klap's free tier covers one video without a card; shitShorts gives 300 free credits every month, about 15 clips
