By KevinEvery price checked on submagic.co/pricing and Submagic's help center on 11 November 2026

Submagic sells Starter at $19/month ($12/month billed yearly) with 45 credits, Pro at $39/month ($23/month billed yearly) with 120 credits, and Business at $69/month ($41/month billed yearly) with 300 credits, all per member (checked 11 November 2026). An upload costs 3 credits and a Magic Clip costs 8, so Starter makes 15 videos of up to 2 minutes or 5 Magic Clips, Pro makes 40 videos of up to 5 minutes, and Business makes 100 videos of up to 30 minutes. That is about $1.27, $0.98 and $0.69 a video on monthly billing. Zemith Plus is $15.99/month with 1.5M monthly credits for Captions, dubbing, presenter ads, video models and AI chat.

ZemithOur pick

Zemith Plus gives you captions, dubbing, presenter ads, video models and AI chat for $15.99/mo.

  • Captions transcribes any short clip, lets you fix words, and burns them in with six styles (Bold, Clean, Highlight, Backdrop, Minimal, Karaoke) at the top, middle or bottom; Ad Maker adds word-by-word captions to every 9:16 presenter ad.
  • Language Swap dubs clips of up to 60 seconds into 21 languages with lip-sync and optional voice cloning in nine, and Lipsync and Voice Change re-voice a clip.
  • Reframe, Remix / Recast, 4K/60fps upscale, Veo 3.1, Kling V3.0, Seedance 2.5 and Wan video, Director films, Product Studio and GPT, Claude, Gemini and Grok chat all run on the same $15.99/mo Plus plan.
  • Plainly: Zemith does not cut a long podcast or stream into shorts (Submagic's Magic Clips), has no text-based timeline editor, and Captions support Latin, Greek and Cyrillic scripts only. It is built for creators who caption and dub short clips and also want the rest of the AI stack.

Three pricing traps Submagic subscribers run into.

Every upload spends credits, so the plan counts videos, not minutes of work.

“Uploading a video costs 3 credits.”Submagic Help Center, Official credit rates, Checked 11 Nov 2026
On ZemithZemith has one balance of 1.5M credits a month for every studio and chat, shows each run's exact credit cost first, and top-ups ($10 for 800,000 credits) never expire.

Short video caps per plan: 2, 5 and 30 minutes.

“2 min video duration”Submagic Pricing, Listed on the Starter plan, Checked 11 Nov 2026
On ZemithZemith is made for short clips too (Language Swap takes 2 to 60 seconds), but it does not cut long videos into shorts, so for long-form repurposing Submagic's Business plan does a job Zemith does not.

Per-member pricing, and billing complaints on cancellation.

Our verdict: Submagic is priced per video and member, while Zemith Plus ($15.99/mo) covers captions, dubbing, ads, video models and AI chat in one plan.

  • Submagic Starter is $19/month for 15 videos of up to 2 minutes (about $1.27 each), Pro is $39/month for 40 videos (about $0.98), and Business is $69/month for 100 videos (about $0.69), all per member.
  • An upload costs 3 credits and a Magic Clip 8, so clip-heavy use burns credits fast: Starter makes only 5 Magic Clips.
  • Zemith Plus ($15.99/month, 1.5M credits) includes Captions, Language Swap, Lipsync, Ad Maker, Veo 3.1 and Seedance 2.5 video and GPT, Claude and Gemini, with top-ups that never expire, but no long-video clipping.
