Submagic is a captioning tool that also clips. That is fine until a second person needs an account, and then it is the pricing model you are shopping against, not the features.
Their own pricing page, read 2026-09-22, prices every tier PER MEMBER: Starter $19 (45 credits, about 15 videos, 2 minutes each, 1 user), Pro $39 (120 credits, 5-minute videos, 3 users), Business $69 (300 credits, 30-minute videos, unlimited users). Annual billing is 41-51% cheaper.
Per member, per month, with a cap on how many people a tier allows. So the number on the pricing page is the number for one person. An editor, a clipper and whoever approves the posts is that number three times, on both halves of it.
Worth saying plainly: if captions are the actual work - you are polishing wording, timing and emphasis by hand on video somebody else already cut - then a captioning tool is what you want and a clipper is the add-on. The model only turns against you when the clipping is the job and the team is more than one.
Cheapest plan on each that actually does long-to-short clipping, checked September 2026.
| Tool | Cheapest plan that clips | What the allowance counts | Why it might suit you |
|---|---|---|---|
| SnapDub | €12/mo | Credits, with 3 seats included on the entry plan | Seats are included rather than charged for - 10 on Pro and 50 on Business - and the clipper is the product, not a subscription bought on top of another one. |
| AutoClip | $19.99/mo | Credits, one per source minute, and they do not roll over | Priced by what you process rather than by who is logged in, so a second pair of hands costs nothing extra. Check the rollover: what you do not spend is gone. |
| OpusClip | $15/mo | Credits, one per uploaded minute, sold in packs that stack | Their packs add seats alongside credits, so team growth and volume growth are the same purchase. Convenient if they arrive together, wasteful if they do not. |
| Klap | $29/mo | Finished clips a month - 100 on the entry plan | Unlimited social accounts on every tier and no per-seat charge, so the cost follows output instead of headcount. The cap is on clips, so cut lightly. |
| Choppity | $20/mo | Hours of source video analysed per month | One seat on every tier except Team, which is $48 a month for unlimited seats. A clean answer to per-member billing once the team is past about three people. |
| Munch | $38/mo | Minutes of repurposing a month, inside a wider content suite | Unlimited team members on their $60 tier, so headcount stops being the variable that moves the bill. The entry tier is $38 and there is no free plan under it. |
Submagic is the one tool here that cannot be placed on a per-minute or per-clip axis at all, which is exactly the point of this page. The calculator says so in its own row rather than inventing a number for them.
The comparison that matters is not sticker against sticker. Multiply Submagic's by the number of people who need to be logged in, add the clipping add-on for each of them, and put that next to a plan where seats are part of what you already bought. For one person the gap is small. For three it is most of the decision.
Every tool worth comparing will find moments, crop them upright and burn captions on. What separates a clip that looks cut from a clip that looks edited is what happens next, and that is three decisions a human editor makes on every single clip.
The opening. The strongest sentence in a recording is almost never the first one. Television has opened on the moment and then gone back to the beginning for forty years; a clip can do the same, playing the line once at the front and again in its own place, so nothing before it is lost. It is a change to the order of the clip rather than a caption laid over it, which is why it still reads with the sound off.
The emphasis. On the one line that matters, the frame comes in on the speaker, holds, and is gone again the moment the line ends, with a restrained whoosh under it. It costs nothing, it is everywhere in professionally cut video, and its absence is most of what makes a clip feel machine-made. It only works while it stays rare, so it is one line per clip or none at all.
The language. A brand brief with a line about profanity voids a submission over one word, and it does it after the views have arrived. Every clip is checked against its own spoken words, the sound drops for the length of anything that needs it, and the caption is masked to match - along with the title, the description and the hashtags, which are written from the same recording and are where it usually slips through.
All three are settings, on the video and on any template, and a tick per clip in the editor. If a tool you are comparing does these as well, its own features page will say so - this is not the kind of thing anybody hides.
Each one has a page of its own: where a clip should start and the cold open, the push-in, and handling the one word that voids a submission.
SnapDub connects to ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor and other MCP clients on every plan, the free one too. Sign in once, then ask in plain words: make clips from a link, read them best first, find live clipping campaigns.
Every paid plan also comes with a REST API and API keys, for n8n, Make, Zapier or your own app, described in one OpenAPI 3.1 document.
Not on its entry plan. Their Starter is a captioning and editing plan; the clipping feature that competes with the tools on this page is a separate subscription added on top of any plan.
SnapDub includes them on every plan - 3 on the entry plan, 10 on Pro, 50 on Business - and does not charge per member. Klap and AutoClip do not charge per seat either; they cap output instead.
Yes, and it is worth saying rather than pretending otherwise. If the work is captions - wording, timing, emphasis, on video that is already cut - it is built for that and a clipper is the wrong shape of tool. This page is about the case where the clipping is the job.
Caption styling is set up again wherever you land; nothing transfers between tools. On SnapDub it is saved as a template once and applied to every clip after that, which is the part worth checking before you switch anywhere.
Somebody else's prices, so they carry their name and the date we read them.
Pricing pages change without notice, and in this category they change fast: Klap stopped selling minutes and started selling clips between two of our own checks. If you are reading this long after the dates above, open theirs before deciding anything on ours.
