The two plans are built for different jobs. Submagic's plans count finished videos, each up to a set length. Kixy charges by the length of the source video, so a 3-hour stream is one job, and the same credits also pay for Studio videos, images, coloring books and the caption remover.
Submagic's pricing page lists "Custom Magic Clips limits" on its custom plan but does not list Magic Clips limits for Starter, Pro or Business, or say whether the per-video length limit applies to Magic Clips. Check submagic.co/pricing before you rely on it for long videos.
