## What each plan limits

- **ZapCap:** Starter gives 15 videos a month at 2 minutes each, with no watermark. Pro gives 50 videos.
- **Submagic:** Starter gives 45 credits, listed as 15 videos of up to 2 minutes. Pro gives 40 videos.
- **Captions (by Mirage):** credits, not video counts. Basic gives 200 credits a month.
- **OpusClip:** Starter removes the watermark. Its credits are not on the pricing page.
- **VEED:** Creator includes subtitles for 120 hours a year. Pro has unlimited auto subtitles.

## About Hindi

Hindi support varies. ZapCap has a dedicated Hindi captions page. Submagic and Captions list Hindi. OpusClip's help article says it does not support Hindi, while its other pages list it. VEED lists Hindi in its caption translation FAQ. Test a short Hindi clip before you pay. See [VEED pricing](/prices/veed-pricing) and [Submagic pricing](/prices/submagic-pricing) for the details.

## A worked example

Say you caption 30 videos a month, each under 2 minutes.

- ZapCap Starter covers 15 videos, so you need Pro. Pro lists $16 a month for 50 videos. That is $16 / 30 = about $0.53 a video.
- Submagic Starter also covers 15, so you need Pro at $23 a month billed yearly for 40 videos. That is $23 / 30 = about $0.77 a video.

ZapCap's $16 is probably the yearly rate, so check before you budget.

## Where Marxx fits

We make Marxx. Its [AI video editor](/features/ai-video-editor) adds word-by-word captions in trending styles, with key-word emphasis, on a full timeline. Cut is $9 a month at launch prices (checked 3 Nov 2026).
