ClipMint vs Submagic

Submagic is a capable AI captioning tool, but it leans on a recurring subscription. ClipMint pairs automated, word-level captioning with deeper preset styling, 5 free transcription minutes, and 5 free Cloud Export minutes before signup.

Frequently asked questions
Is ClipMint cheaper than Submagic?
ClipMint uses pay-as-you-go credits, and credit packs never expire — so you only pay for what you actually use instead of committing to a recurring subscription. Whether that works out cheaper depends on your volume, so compare current pricing on both sites.
Can I use ClipMint without a subscription?
Yes. You can buy one-time credit packs that never expire and use them whenever you need captions — no recurring plan required.
Do I get word-level captions like Submagic?
Yes. ClipMint generates accurate, word-level subtitles automatically, and you can restyle and edit every line before exporting.
Does ClipMint offer as much caption customization as Submagic?
Yes, and beyond curated presets you can manually fine-tune font, color, size, and position — giving you more direct control over the final look than a preset-only workflow.
