• Pricing: Free trial, no credit card; Starter $19/mo, Pro $39/mo, Business $69/mo per member (about $12, $23 and $41/mo billed yearly)
• Category: AI video editing and captions
• Best for: creators, marketers and agencies producing short-form video for TikTok, Reels and YouTube Shorts
• Credits: 45, 120 or 300 per month (15, 40 or 100 videos)

Quick verdict: Submagic is a short-form video editor built around animated captions, with AI B-roll, auto zooms, silence removal and clipping layered on top. It is priced per member by number of videos and by maximum video length, so the right plan depends mostly on how long your videos are. If you mainly want polished captions and fast edits, it is a strong fit (start a Submagic free trial); if you mainly want to cut a two-hour podcast into dozens of clips, compare it with a clip-first tool such as Klap or Opus Clip.

What Is Submagic?

Submagic is an AI video editor made in France. You upload a video or paste a link (podcasts, YouTube videos or phone footage), and it adds captions, removes silences, inserts B-roll and finds key moments. Its homepage says more than 4 million businesses use it, and shows ratings of 4.8/5 on Google (1,200+ reviews), 4.6 on Trustpilot (857 reviews) and 4.7 on G2 (80+ reviews). Those are the vendor’s own figures, as shown on the site on October 31, 2026.

Key Features

• Animated auto captions. Caption styles in 123 languages, which the vendor says reach 99% accuracy. Treat that as a marketing claim and check the transcript on your own accent and topic.
• Magic Clips. Turns a long video into several short clips by extracting key moments.
• AI editing tools. Auto zooms, removal of bad takes and silences, audio cleanup, and (on higher tiers) filler-word removal and eye-contact correction per the plan comparison.
• B-roll and sound. Royalty-free B-roll and audio on every plan; Storyblocks B-roll and audio on Pro, and movie clips on Pro and above.
• Publish and schedule. Pick a date and platforms and publish straight from the editor to TikTok, Reels, Shorts and others, with social analytics on Pro and above.
• AI avatars. Create short videos without filming, using generated presenters.
• Brand kit and teamwork. Brand kit on Pro; custom templates, logos and a custom dictionary on Business.
• API. 10 API minutes a month on Starter and Pro, 100 on Business, with extra API credit packs sold separately.

Submagic Pricing 2026

Submagic prices per member per month, billed monthly or yearly (yearly saves up to 41%). Every paid plan exports without a watermark. The plans differ by monthly credits, maximum video length and export quality.

Cost per video. Dividing price by the video allowance (our own arithmetic) gives about $0.80, $0.58 and $0.41 per video on yearly billing for Starter, Pro and Business, and about $1.27, $0.98 and $0.69 on monthly billing. Prices are per member, so a team of five multiplies the bill. A custom plan is available through sales for higher volumes.

Watch the length caps. The 2-minute (Starter) and 5-minute (Pro) limits are per video. A 10-minute video does not fit on Pro, and a 30-minute podcast needs Business.

How Submagic Works

1. Upload or paste a link. Any video or link is accepted: podcasts, YouTube or phone footage.
2. Let the AI edit. It adds captions, removes silences, inserts B-roll and flags key moments.
3. Review and export. Adjust captions and style, then schedule or publish, in up to 4K at 60 FPS on Business.

Who Is Submagic For?

• Short-form creators. Talking-head videos under five minutes get the full benefit of captions, zooms and B-roll on Pro.
• Marketing teams and agencies. Business adds brand logos, custom templates, priority support and exports, and more publishing profiles.
• Media and podcast teams. Magic Clips and 30-minute uploads on Business suit repurposing long content.
• Multilingual creators. Caption styles in 123 languages is a wide range.

Who Should Skip Submagic?

• Anyone who only needs bulk clipping of very long videos. A clip-first tool may give more clips per dollar.
• Solo creators on a tight budget with long videos. The Starter cap of 2 minutes per video is restrictive.
• Editors who want full timeline control. Submagic is built for fast, automatic edits.

Final Verdict

Submagic is one of the more polished caption-first editors for short-form video. Pro is the sweet spot for most creators if your videos stay under five minutes; Business makes sense for teams, longer videos and 4K exports. If your main need is turning very long recordings into many clips, test a clip-first alternative on the same footage before you commit.
