When to stay with Submagic
Documented strengths from our Submagic review — switching isn't always the right call:
- No watermark on any paid plan, starting at the $19/month Starter tier — watermarking is confined to the free 3-video trial
- Quota is counted in whole videos rather than processing minutes, which is easier to budget against a fixed publishing schedule
- 4K and 60 FPS export is available on Business rather than being locked behind an enterprise contract
