Eklipse vs Ascynd
One lets you download the clip.
Eklipse connects straight to your Twitch or Kick channel and scans streams automatically, which is genuinely useful and something Ascynd does not do. The catch is what happens next: on the free plan you can watch the clips it found, but downloading them requires Premium at $24.99 a month.
Why creators are switching
The key differences between Eklipse and Ascynd, and why they matter for your content workflow.
The free plan does not export
Eklipse's free tier connects your channel, scans a recent stream and previews the clips it finds — but exporting and downloading are Premium features, as are captions, templates and the AI editing tools. Ascynd exports everything it makes, at full resolution, with no watermark.
$24.99/mo against $7.99/mo
Eklipse Premium is $24.99 monthly or $179.99 annually. Ascynd Creator is $7.99/mo with no clip cap and no export restriction, so a streamer clipping every stream is not paying three times as much for the privilege.
Cloud pipeline vs your own machine
Eklipse pulls your stream into its cloud to process it, which is what makes channel integration possible and also what makes export a paid feature. Ascynd runs on your machine against a VOD file you already have, so nothing is uploaded and nothing is metered.
Eklipse watches your channel. Ascynd does not.
Automatic scanning of new streams is Eklipse's real advantage and worth being clear about — Ascynd has no channel integration. You point it at a downloaded VOD. If hands-off monitoring is what you want, Eklipse does something Ascynd does not.
