Submagic vs Opus Clip
Submagic and Opus Clip often get mentioned together, but they don't start from the same need. Before comparing prices, ask what you really have to do: caption clips you already have, or cut up a long video.
What's the difference between Submagic and Opus Clip?
Submagic made its name with animated captions and effects for short videos; OpusClip with automatic clip selection from long videos. Both have broadened since, so check what each offers today on its website.
If your videos are already short and vertical, your main need is captioning. If they're long, it's cutting and reframing.
How much do Submagic and Opus Clip cost?
On OpusClip's official pricing page (checked on 23 October 2026): Starter at $15 a month for 150 minutes, Pro at $29 a month for 300 minutes, and a free plan with 60 minutes a month and a watermark.
For Submagic, we found conflicting figures when we checked on 23 October 2026, so we'd rather not quote one. See its official pricing page.
Which should I pick for animated captions?
If you already have your clips and just want stylish captions, a captioning-focused tool makes sense. Compare the result on the same clip, and check watermarks and exports on each plan.
Captioning best practice, whatever the tool, is in auto captions for TikTok.
Which should I pick for cutting up a long video?
A clipping tool, like OpusClip or Clipotte: it reads the transcript, picks the passages and reframes them vertically. Captioning comes next, often in the same tool.
How the selection works is explained in how AI picks the moments.
How does Clipotte cover both needs?
Clipotte cuts the long video, reframes to 9:16 and adds optional animated captions (+€2): active word highlighted, pop effect, six styles, with adjustable font, size, colours and position. It doesn't caption a standalone video without cutting it into clips.
Clipotte is paid per video, based on the length processed: €4.90 up to 30 minutes, €7.90 up to 1 hour, €12.90 up to 2 hours, €16.90 up to 3 hours. Options: animated captions +€2, face and licence plate blur +€3, hook titles +€1. For the detailed comparison with OpusClip, see the Opus Clip alternative.

Why not quote Submagic's price?
Because we found conflicting figures, and we only quote prices checked on an official page, with the date.
Can Clipotte caption an already short video?
It always cuts into clips: for a very short video, a captioning-only tool is a better fit.
Can I edit Clipotte's captions?
Yes, fix the text in the transcript editor and switch style in one click.
Do I need two tools?
Not necessarily: for long videos, a clipping tool that also captions is often enough.
