What Captions Does Well
- Edits footage you already have: AI Edit cuts scenes, adds B-roll and captions, and the chat-based editor changes details from a prompt.5 2
- Captions and subtitles in 100+ languages, with 100+ caption styles.5
- Unused credits roll over from its entry paid plan upward, up to 3× the monthly allowance.1
- A free version and a $9.99 entry plan.6 1
The Catches
- Its pricing page says all prices are in USD and that features and prices reflect iOS plans only.2
- What a credit buys varies by feature, so the number of videos a month depends on which AI features each video uses.1
- Cancelling forfeits remaining credits at the end of the billing period, and a downgrade cuts the balance to the new plan's cap.1
Who Captions suits
Pick Captions if you film or already have footage and want AI to edit it, caption it and cut clips from it.
