The open call on this board

CALL-0003 · ISSUED 2026-07-14 · FROZEN AT ISSUE

Submagic's entry price is still $12/mo on Aug 11.

Why it matters: The captions track is racing to the bottom on price. Submagic holding its floor while rivals cut would mean it believes the API pivot — not discounting — is the way out.

CALL-0004 · ISSUED 2026-07-14 · FROZEN AT ISSUE

Submagic publishes a public API/usage pricing tier by Aug 9.

Why it matters: On Jul 10 its homepage flipped to 'Submagic API is live'. A headline without a price is a promise, not a product — 30 days is enough time to show the meter.
