Long videos cut into shorts, priced per clip
Klap takes a long video and returns vertical clips with the speaker tracked and subtitles burned in. The plan you buy is a number of clips a month rather than a number of hours uploaded, which is the honest way round for anyone whose source videos are long. There is no free plan, so the first look costs money.
Our note
Buy this one when your source material is long and your output is steady. If either is uncertain, 2short.ai's free tier answers the same question for nothing, and OpusClip is the better-known option with a wider set of editing controls.

Captions, b-roll and hooks on a vertical clip
Submagic takes a clip and gives it back captioned in the style short-form audiences now expect, with the emphasised words coloured and the timing tight against the audio. Cutting a long recording into clips is a paid add-on rather than the base product, which is the thing to check before comparing it with Opus Clip. Three watermarked videos a month are free, which is enough to see whether the caption style suits your face.
Our note
The captions are the reason to buy it, and they are better than the default in most editors. Opus Clip is the comparison for finding the clip; Submagic is the comparison for making the clip worth watching once found.
