Eklipse.gg review: what 900+ streamers actually think (2026)

Eklipse has a 4.2/5 rating on Trustpilot based on 899 verified reviews as of April 2026. That puts it well above the category average for AI clipping software.

But a number on a review site only tells you so much.

You are probably here because you want to know whether the tool actually delivers — or whether that rating comes from people who signed up, posted once, and left a five-star review before running into the real limitations.

This is the honest version. We pulled the feedback that shows up repeatedly: the stuff that makes streamers renew every year, and the stuff that makes them cancel. Both matter if you are deciding whether to use Eklipse.

Eklipse rating summary

These scores come from independent platforms. Eklipse cannot remove or filter reviews on Trustpilot or G2. The 4.2 average reflects the full distribution, including the negative reviews covered below.

What Eklipse actually does

Eklipse connects to your Twitch, Kick, or YouTube VOD. After your stream ends, the AI scans the footage and timestamps the moments most likely to perform as short clips: kills, clutch plays, squad wipes, multi-kills, and chat spikes.

You get a list of detected clips, each with a preview. From there you can edit in Eklipse Studio, add captions and templates, export in vertical format for TikTok or YouTube Shorts, and schedule posting through the Content Publisher.

The whole workflow runs in the cloud. Zero FPS impact during your stream. No recording software to install.

That is the pitch. Here is how it holds up.

What streamers praise (pros from verified reviews)

These themes appear most frequently across 4- and 5-star Trustpilot and G2 reviews.

Voice Command is the standout feature for live streamers

The ability to say “Clip It” during a stream and have Eklipse mark that moment keeps coming up in positive reviews. No hotkey to fumble with mid-fight. No interrupting the stream to manually clip.

“The voice command is genuinely useful. I say ‘clip that’ after a big play and it’s just there in my dashboard when the stream ends.” — Trustpilot review, March 2026

The Voice Command feature is available on all plans, including free.

AI detection accuracy is high for FPS and battle royale games

Valorant, Call of Duty, Apex Legends, and Fortnite reviewers consistently report that Eklipse catches the moments that matter without pulling in dead footage. The model is trained on kill feed events and discrete action moments — exactly what FPS games produce.

“I stream Valorant 5 days a week. Eklipse gets 80 to 90% of the clips I’d actually want to post. That used to take me 2 hours to find manually.” — G2 review, February 2026

Time savings are real and specific

The most common benefit cited is not “it’s faster” in a vague sense. Streamers who were scrubbing through 4- to 8-hour VODs report cutting that to under 15 minutes of clip review time.

“I went from spending 3 hours after each stream to literally 10 minutes. I just review the clips Eklipse found and post the ones I like.” — Trustpilot review, January 2026

Clips you can post straight away

Reviewers point out that the clips come out ready to post, with no credit limit per session on Premium. Older reviews praising a watermarked 720p free plan describe a tier that no longer exists: Eklipse is now fully paid.

What streamers criticize (cons from verified reviews)

Customer support is the most-cited complaint

This is the number one recurring theme in 1- and 2-star reviews: slow response times through Discord, unhelpful bot responses, and no live support. If something breaks and you need a fix quickly, expect to wait.

“The product works but if you have an issue the support is really slow. I had a processing error for 3 days before someone looked at it.” — Trustpilot review, March 2026

Eklipse expanded its Discord community team in Q1 2026, but response time is still hours to days, not minutes.

Processing queues during peak hours

If you stream during popular evenings or weekends, your VOD may sit in a processing queue for several hours before clips are ready.

Not a deal-breaker if same-day posting is not part of your workflow. Worth knowing if it is.

AI accuracy drops for non-action game genres

Eklipse’s detection is optimized for kill-feed events. For Just Chatting, strategy games, IRL streams, and MOBA content that is not kill-heavy, automatic detection misses more than it catches.

For these content types, manual clip marking and Voice Command are more reliable than fully automated detection.

No free plan anymore

Many of the reviews above were written when Eklipse had a free 720p, watermarked tier. That tier is gone. Creating an account is still free, and the standalone browser tools on eklipse.gg need no account at all, but AI clipping requires Premium.

Eklipse pricing

The annual plan saves $120 compared to 12 months of monthly billing ($299.88). If you stream consistently, the math is direct.

Who Eklipse is best for (and not for)

It fits your workflow if:

• You stream FPS or battle royale games on Twitch or Kick (Valorant, CoD, Apex, Fortnite, Marvel Rivals, CS2)
• You want clips ready without reviewing footage manually after every session
• You post to TikTok or YouTube Shorts and need vertical, formatted clips
• You stream 3+ hours per session and have no interest in scrubbing VODs
• You want to start posting clips before committing to a paid subscription

It is not the right fit if:

• You primarily stream Just Chatting, strategy games, or content without kill-feed events
• You need same-day clips from free-tier processing
• You require live support with fast response times
• You game offline without a streaming platform — Eklipse requires a VOD URL from Twitch, Kick, or YouTube

Eklipse vs. the competition

One note on older third-party reviews of Eklipse, including StreamLadder’s: they describe free-plan limits such as “three lifetime credits.” Eklipse no longer has a free plan at all, so any free-tier comparison you read elsewhere is out of date.

Frequently asked questions

Is Eklipse actually free?

No. Creating an account is free, but clipping is paid: Premium costs $24.99/month, $112.99 for 6 months, or $179.99/year (about $14.99/month). The standalone browser tools on eklipse.gg are free and need no account.

Does Eklipse work for console streamers?

Yes, for any console setup that streams to Twitch or Kick. Eklipse connects to the stream VOD, not the capture device — so PS5 and Xbox users who stream live can use it the same way PC streamers do. Eklipse also has a dedicated console streaming feature for native support.

How accurate is Eklipse’s AI at detecting highlights?

Detection accuracy is highest for FPS and battle royale games with clear kill-feed events: Valorant, CoD, Apex, Fortnite, and similar titles consistently produce 80-90% usable clip rates based on user feedback. For strategy games, Just Chatting, and IRL streams, auto-detection is less reliable. Voice Command is a better approach for those content types. More detail on how AI highlight detection works.

Is Eklipse better than Medal for gaming clips?

It depends on how you play. Medal records locally on your PC — no streaming platform required, but it uses 8-12% of system resources while running. Eklipse processes in the cloud after your stream ends — zero FPS impact while you play, but requires a live VOD from Twitch, Kick, or YouTube. For streamers, Eklipse is the stronger fit. For offline players who do not stream, Medal is the better choice.

Does Eklipse affect FPS or game performance?

No. Eklipse runs entirely in the cloud after your stream ends. It does not install software on your PC and has no interaction with your system while you are playing. The only resource it uses is your VOD upload bandwidth after the session is over.

Verdict

Eklipse earns its 4.2/5 rating. For FPS and battle royale streamers who want clips without scrubbing VODs — and who post regularly to TikTok or YouTube Shorts — it does what it says.

The Voice Command feature is genuinely useful. The time savings are specific and consistent across hundreds of reviews.

The honest caveats: support is slow, and processing queues build up during peak hours. Those are real limitations, not edge cases. They are not deal-breakers for most streamers, but they matter if you depend on same-day turnaround or need quick help when something breaks.

If you stream action games on Twitch or Kick and you are not posting clips because the manual process takes too long, Eklipse solves that problem directly.
