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.

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.

BASELINE AT ISSUE: No API pricing public as of 2026-07-13 · NO DATA ON VERDICT DAY → MISS — silence past the line counts as not shipped
HITPublic API and usage pricing were live on the deadline-dated page: a plan named 'Business + API' at $41/member/mo, and an 'API Credits' pack table running from $0.15/min down to $0.10/min. Two independent lines of evidence put that state on 2026-08-09: the desk's own pricing-page diff log records no change to the page between 2026-07-11 and 2026-08-10, and a third-party archive dated 2026-07-23 shows the same block [3P]. Graded in the weekly session, 2026-08-29. Baseline dispute filed as COR-0007.
