When Submagic is the better pick

If you already film short videos and mainly need captions and fast edits, Submagic is a strong choice. It makes captions in 118 languages. It removes silences and adds B-roll for you. It can schedule and publish posts to your channels, and it has a shared workspace for teams. It also has AI avatars for videos without filming. The Business plan exports in 4K.

When Clipsy is the better pick

If you start from a long video, like a podcast episode or a coaching call. Clipsy transcribes it, picks strong moments, cuts pauses and filler words, and adds word-by-word captions. See how it turns podcasts into shorts.

Minutes count the length of the video you upload. A one-hour episode uses 60 minutes, and the number of clips does not change the cost. Failed jobs refund your minutes.

Clipsy also makes Paper and Tier List edits. A Paper edit mixes your face with clean paper-card scenes that show key words. A Tier List edit puts an S A B C board over you. You check and fix the caption words before an edit renders.
