Submagic prices per member per month with a yearly discount of 41%. Starter is $19/month or $12/month yearly with 15 videos per month capped at 2 minutes each. Pro is $39 or $23 yearly with 40 videos at 5 minutes max. Business + API is $69 or $41 yearly with 100 videos at 30 minutes plus API. Custom plans handle enterprise. Magic Clips is a $19/month add-on for OpusClip-style long-form-to-shorts.
Three line items. First, per-member pricing means a 3-clipper team is 3x the sticker price, not 1x. Second, video caps are tied to count AND length, so Starter at 15 videos × 2 min is 30 minutes/month total processing ceiling. Third, AI credits gate premium features and 3 credits on Starter runs out in week one of any branded campaign. Magic Clips for long-form-to-shorts is a separate add-on, not in any base tier.
Switching cost on Submagic's side is zero. Subscriptions are month-to-month. The lane-shift cost is operational: brands stop running the editing tool seat-by-seat and hand the brief to FORKOFF's managed lane. The $500 14-day sandbox runs against the same source so brands validate the qualified-view ledger before retainer.
Solo creators and small in-house teams who want premium captions, B-roll, and per-seat editing software. Strong fit for podcasters captioning their own catalog, freelancers shipping branded short-form, and brands operating a single-seat workflow.
Brands buying outcomes, not editing seats. Protocols, AI startups, consumer apps, and podcast networks that need a managed agency to brief the show, vet the clippers, qualify each view, and produce a treasury-defensible audit ledger. FORKOFF is the lane for buyers paying on qualified views, not on video caps.
Yes. The qualification engine and qualified-view ledger layer on top of any clipping pipeline. Brands keep the editing tool and gain the brand-side qualification plus reporting layer.
A view that passes four checks set by the campaign brief: watch duration, policy compliance, geo consistency, and traffic validity. If any layer rejects it, the view is logged with a reason code and excluded from both spend and payout.
