2short.ai's pricing page lists YouTube as the primary source for all plans, with Google Drive and public HTTPS URLs available on paid plans. Bilibili is absent from all plan documentation. A site-wide search on 2short.ai returns no mention of Bilibili. Like most Western-focused AI video tools, 2short.ai has not built the Bilibili ingestion pipeline — separate CDN handling, DASH manifest parsing, and Chinese-language metadata — that direct Bilibili support requires.
The Chinese language gap compounds this. 2short.ai does not list Chinese (Simplified or Traditional) among its supported caption languages. For a creator whose source content is in Chinese — Mandarin narration, Bilibili gaming commentary, Chinese-language education — 2short.ai cannot process the source platform and cannot generate accurate Chinese captions. Both gaps exist independently, and ClipIt addresses both.
For creators who produce content on both YouTube and Bilibili, or who distribute Chinese-language source material to Douyin and TikTok, ClipIt handles the complete workflow from a single paste. There is no workaround on the 2short.ai side for Bilibili content: you would need to manually download the Bilibili video and re-upload it via an HTTPS URL on a paid plan, losing the direct-URL workflow entirely.
2short.ai's free tier provides 30 minutes of video analysis per month with no watermark on exports. This is a recurring monthly allowance — useful for consistent low-volume testing. The limitation is in what those 30 minutes cover: video analysis time, not the number of clips generated. For longer source videos, 30 minutes runs out quickly.
ClipIt's free tier works differently. Signup credits are a one-time grant (no monthly recurring top-up), but every clip generated comes with no watermark and does not expire. You get fewer total shots on the free tier than 2short.ai's recurring 30 min/mo, but every clip you receive is yours to keep and publish immediately.
If you need a recurring monthly free quota for low-volume ongoing use, 2short.ai's free tier has an advantage. If you need Bilibili support or Chinese language at any tier, only ClipIt can serve those requirements.
2short.ai's paid plans start with Lite at $9.90/month, which includes 5 hours of video analysis per month and 60 minutes of fast exports. The mid-tier Pro plan is $19.90/month (10 hours analysis, 180 minutes fast exports), and the Premium tier is $49.90/month (30 hours analysis, unlimited fast exports). All plans include no watermark on exports.
ClipIt's first paid tier is Pro at $19/month billed monthly, or $15/month billed annually (saving 20%). This includes 300 credits per month — measured per clip generated, not per minute of source video processed. For most creators producing regular short-form content, 300 credits per month is a practical working quota.
At the entry level, 2short.ai Lite at $9.90/month is nominally cheaper. However, 2short.ai measures capacity in analysis minutes, and ClipIt measures in clips. The right comparison depends on your source video length and how many clips you need per video. If Bilibili support or Chinese language capability is required, the price comparison is moot — 2short.ai cannot serve those use cases at any price.

Both tools convert long-form video into 9:16 shorts with AI highlight detection and speaker centering. The decision turns on your source platform and language requirements.
No. 2short.ai's supported source is YouTube on all plans. Google Drive and public HTTPS video URLs are available on paid plans, but Bilibili is absent from all plan documentation on 2short.ai/pricing. Bilibili's CDN architecture, DASH manifest format, and Chinese-language metadata handling require a separate ingestion pipeline that 2short.ai has not built. For creators whose source content lives on Bilibili, ClipIt is currently the only AI shorts tool with direct Bilibili URL support.
2short.ai does not list Chinese (Simplified or Traditional) among its supported caption or UI languages. ClipIt supports Chinese (zh-Hans) in the product UI and generates captions from Chinese-language audio, making it the better choice for Bilibili creators and Chinese-language content workflows.
2short.ai's free tier gives 30 minutes of video analysis per month with no watermark on exports — a recurring monthly allowance. ClipIt's free tier gives signup credits (no monthly recurring top-up) with no watermark and no expiration on clips. If you want a recurring monthly free quota, 2short.ai's 30 min/mo may be useful for low-volume testing. If you need Bilibili support or Chinese language capability from the start, only ClipIt provides those regardless of tier.
2short.ai's Lite plan at $9.90/month is the lower entry price, offering 5 hours of video analysis and 60 minutes of fast exports per month. ClipIt's Pro plan starts at $19/month (or $15/month billed annually) with 300 credits per month. The price-per-clip comparison depends on usage patterns, but 2short.ai's Lite tier is nominally cheaper at entry. However, if Bilibili support or Chinese language is required, 2short.ai cannot serve those needs at any price — ClipIt is the only option.
