Different starting points
Submagic is a caption and editing tool for short videos. Its plans cap each video at 2 minutes (Starter), 5 minutes (Pro) or 30 minutes (Business), and count videos per month. Turning a long video into clips is a separate feature called Magic Clips. Submagic's pricing page mentions Magic Clips limits only under its custom plan and does not list a price for it.
Vidulk starts from the long video. Paste a link from YouTube, TikTok, Twitch or a podcast, or upload a file, and the AI transcribes it, scores the moments and cuts the clips. You then edit captions and layout in the same project.
Pricing
Submagic Starter is $19 per member a month, or $12 billed yearly, for 15 videos. Pro is $39, or $23 yearly, for 40 videos. Business is $69, or $41 yearly, for 100 videos. All paid plans have no watermark.
Vidulk Unlimited is $9.99 a week, $19.99 a month or $179 a year on the web, with no video count. Credits are $7 for one video and $19 for ten.
Where Submagic is stronger
Submagic includes B-roll (free on Starter, Storyblocks on Pro and Business), AI auto zooms, bad-take and silence removal, clean audio, social publishing, brand kits and an API. Vidulk has punch zoom and its own caption and branding tools, but no B-roll library, no social publishing and no API. Submagic also lets you upload from a phone browser, though its help center says editing is meant for a computer.
If you film short clips and want them captioned and dressed up, Submagic fits. If you have long recordings to cut down, start at vidulk.com/app.
Who should pick which
Choose Submagic if you are a coach, marketer or business owner who records short videos on purpose and wants them captioned, zoomed and given B-roll quickly, and you work at a computer. Choose Vidulk if you have long recordings, such as podcasts, streams, interviews or lectures, and want them cut into many clips, edited on a phone or in a browser, at a flat price with no per-video length limit.
Both tools remove the watermark on paid plans. A free Vidulk account adds a small watermark to story videos and does not clip, so test Vidulk with a single $7 credit.
