See which post made you money
Every post gets its own tracked link. When someone clicks through and books, buys or fills in a form, XCap ties that lead — and its value — back to the exact post. Your dashboard shows revenue per post and per credit spent, so you make more of what works.
Runs on our own AI models
Scripts, voiceovers, captions and renders run on models we host ourselves, which keeps credit costs low and your drafts off third-party AI services. Premium engines are optional and clearly labelled when you choose them.

Questions
- Is this comparison up to date?
- It reflects Submagic's public website as of October 2026. Products change quickly — check their site for current features and pricing. If anything here is out of date, tell us and we'll fix it.
- Do I need editing skills?
- No. XCap writes the script, adds a voiceover and captions, picks b-roll and renders the video. You review and approve before anything is published.
- How does publishing work?
- Connect your TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn or Pinterest account once. When you approve a video, XCap posts it there on your schedule (posts to X go through Buffer, which is optional). While a platform is still reviewing XCap's app, posts there may go out as private, or wait, until it's approved.
- What does it cost?
- Plans include monthly credits and every action shows its cost before you run it. There's a free trial with no card required — see the pricing page for current plans.
