TryClip: a simpler, cheaper Submagic alternative
Submagic is known for fast, stylish short-form captions and a clean editor, and it does that part well. TryClip takes a different angle: a real free plan to start, a lower price as you scale, and one flow that turns a long video into finished clips. It finds the moments, reframes to 9:16, captions them, and scores each one. On Pro it also posts and schedules to social, so you skip the extra tool.
Why creators try TryClip instead of Submagic
A real free plan, then lower pricing
TryClip gives you a free plan with 60 credits a month, no credit card, where 1 credit is 1 minute of video. Paid plans start at $15 a month for 500 credits. You can test it on real videos before you pay, then scale without a big jump.
Publishing is built in on Pro
On Pro, TryClip posts and schedules your clips straight to social. With a caption-and-clip tool you export a file and upload it somewhere else. TryClip closes that loop for you.
Long video to finished clips in one flow
Drop in a long video and TryClip finds the moments worth clipping, reframes them to 9:16, adds captions, and gives each clip a viral score. You get publish-ready verticals without stitching the steps together yourself.
Every feature on every plan
Viral score, 9:16 auto-reframe, animated captions, and multi-language translation are on every plan, including free. Only the monthly credit limit changes as you grow.
