QuQi vs Submagic: captions on your footage, or films from your site

Submagic is the stronger tool when you film yourself: it gives a short its captions, cuts and B-roll in a click and posts it to TikTok, Instagram or YouTube Shorts. QuQi makes films and pictures from your website without any footage, and its crew also writes articles, posts every day and looks after your SEO.

Choose Submagic if
  • You record talking-head videos every week.
  • You want captions that look styled and animated.
  • You want to edit and post from one screen.
Choose QuQi if
  • You have products to show and nothing filmed.
  • You want a picture post on your channels every day.
  • You want your website’s SEO and articles handled too.
