ClipMe vs Eklipse: the best Eklipse alternative for Kick & IRL streamers
Eklipse is a gameplay-highlight clipper. By its own copy it is post-stream ('Stream ends. Clips land.') and game-event-led, with chat spikes as one signal among its game events; it markets Kick and Just Chatting support. ClipMe differs on timing and on what it ranks: Starter is $0 with Kick included, clips are cut live off the HLS feed on Kick, Twitch and YouTube during the broadcast — and moments are scored across proprietary signals with chat velocity among them, a signal that fires whether or not a game is on screen. To be equally honest the other way: if you play supported titles and don't mind post-stream delivery, Eklipse's kill-and-clutch detection is still best-in-class.

Where Eklipse is strong
Best-in-class gameplay highlight detection — kill-feed and game-state events across 1,000+ titles, per-genre tuning, plus a 'clip that' voice command for marking moments mid-game.
Where ClipMe pulls ahead
- Cuts ranked clips during the broadcast off the live HLS feed; Eklipse's own copy describes post-stream delivery
- No VOD dependency — ClipMe reads the live feed; Eklipse's guide notes it only gets your stream if Kick VOD saving was enabled
- Chat-velocity scoring catches IRL, Just Chatting and variety moments with no kill feed; Eklipse is game-event-led, with chat spikes as one signal
- Starter is $0 with Kick included
Game-event detection vs live multi-signal scoring: the mechanism difference
Eklipse's mechanism is game-event detection: it pattern-matches the moments supported games produce — kills, clutches, wins — with chat spikes as one signal. Delivery is post-stream by its own copy ('Stream ends. Clips land.').
ClipMe's mechanism is live scoring: it watches the broadcast as it happens and weighs proprietary signals — chat velocity among them — and ranks the moments that actually pop off. Because the trigger is how your audience reacts rather than what a game reports, it needs no supported-title list, and because it runs on the live HLS feed the clip exists while you're still streaming. That holds on Kick, Twitch and YouTube alike; VOD import is available on all three.
When each wins, honestly: for pure-gameplay kill detection in supported titles, Eklipse wins — a purpose-built kill-feed reader tags the exact frag more precisely than any audience signal, and Eklipse is the most polished tool doing it. ClipMe wins when the moment is defined by the room rather than the scoreboard — IRL, Just Chatting, variety, reactions — and whenever the clip needs to exist while you're live. A big play usually spikes chat too, so gameplay still registers on ClipMe; it just won't tell you which weapon got the kill.

Eklipse figures were read from Eklipse's own pricing, help-center and FAQ pages in July 2026; in September 2026 Eklipse shows its plans only inside the app after sign-up, so confirm current plans before deciding. ClipMe figures are current pricing.
The verdict
If you play supported titles and don't mind clips arriving after you're offline, Eklipse is the most polished gameplay-highlight tool around — its 'clip that' voice command is genuinely handy. If the point is the clip existing while you're still live, or ranking led by chat rather than game events, that is what ClipMe is built for.
