Submagic counts your videos. CapQA doesn't.
By Antoni, founder · Updated
Submagic's cheapest plan is $19 a month for 15 videos, and the new cut after a client's note is one more of them. CapQA Creator is $15/month and counts nothing.

Unlimited deliveries vs a monthly video allowance
Submagic sells a monthly allowance of videos: $19 for 15 on its cheapest plan, $69 for 100 on Business (monthly billing, September 2026). CapQA Creator is $15/month with no job count, and every re-burn inside a job is $0.
Submagic's own help centre says replacing a video in a project costs 1 credit (checked 24 September 2026). Whether a caption-only edit spends one is not published, so we do not claim it.
900×1400 safe zone QA with a SAFE stamp
Submagic styles and edits short-form fast. CapQA adds the check an agency file needs: captions inside a centred 900×1400 zone, measured against the Spark Ads layout, and a SAFE or REJECT stamp before export.
Submagic places captions clear of the buttons too: its TikTok and Reels exports come “with safe-zone placement so text never sits under the platform UI” (Submagic's caption page, checked 26 September 2026). The difference is the measured check and a certificate the brand can open.
Brand names checked by sound
CapQA matches brand terms against your glossary by sound, so “Hyalurnic” is caught before the client reads it. If you style in Submagic, run CapQA as the last step before handoff.
What CapQA does not do
If you need one of these, Submagic may be the better tool.
- Timeline comments
- The review link takes an approval or one note per job, not threads on the timeline.
- Team seats
- One account, one operator. No shared workspace, roles or per-seat billing.
- A mobile app
- Nothing to install: the free check and Studio run in a phone browser. On a phone Studio takes files up to 200 MB and exports slower than on a computer.
- Generative work
- No AI voice, avatars, dubbing or generated footage. B-roll and music are your own files.
- A whole-project editor
- Studio edits one clip per job. Joining shots with transitions stays in your editor.
- Server rendering
- Exports encode in your browser: one to four minutes for a 30-second 1080p cut on a laptop.
