Kapwing Eye Contact: Credits, Real Cost per Minute and a Cheaper Option

Kapwing doesn’t sell eye contact on its own. It comes with Pro, at $24 a month or $16 a month billed yearly, and each minute you correct spends 30 of the plan’s 1,000 monthly credits. That is about 33 minutes a month: 33 one-minute clips, or three 10-minute videos, if you use your credits for nothing else.

Divide the plan price by those minutes and Kapwing Pro costs about $0.48 a minute billed yearly and $0.72 billed monthly. Business, at $50 or $64 a month for 4,000 credits, brings it to about $0.38 to $0.48. Kapwing charges at least 1 credit per use, even for less than a minute.

StoryCut counts videos, not minutes. The $9 pack corrects 5 videos of up to 10 minutes each: about $0.18 a minute if each one runs the full 10 minutes, or $1.80 a video whatever its length.

If you already edit in Kapwing, its eye contact stays in your project: record with Kapwing’s teleprompter, apply Eye Contact, add subtitles and export, with no round trip. If your team already shares a Kapwing workspace, adding eye contact there is simpler than adding another tool.

A separate tool is cheaper when eye contact is the main reason you would pay for Kapwing, or when you only have a few videos to fix. StoryCut charges once per video, with no monthly credits to use up.
