Captions.ai prices its plans for iOS, and its help pages cover the iOS and Android apps and a web app. Captions.ai's help page lists 101 languages on iOS for adding and translating captions.
AI Edit, a Co-Editor, AI-generated images and videos and AI Creator on its Max plan, and dubbing on its paid plans.
Its web app imports files of up to 60 minutes, its help page says, and its plans carry 500 to 5,600 credits a month for AI work.

Captions.ai's pricing page starts at Max, $24.99 a month for iOS, with 500 credits. Its help page still lists Basic at $9.99 a month, and says a Basic export carries a watermark if it uses a Max feature such as AI Edit.
Its help page limits captions to 10 minutes on iOS, 5 on Android, and 4 to 60 seconds on the web, where Home uploads go up to 100 MB. Every route starts by uploading or importing the video.
Captions plans read on captions.ai/pricing and its help centre (Subscriptions, the watermark page, Add Captions, Import and Upload) on 14 October 2026; prices in US dollars, for iOS, as its page states. Where its pages disagree, we say so. Captions is made by Mirage (NOCAP, Inc.). If its pages have changed since, they are the authority.

AI Edit and the Co-Editor make whole edits from your footage. Burncaps does not edit for you: it captions one recording, or cuts its best 30 or 60 seconds.
AI Creator and AI-generated images and videos have no counterpart in Burncaps, which only works with a video you recorded.
Captions.ai dubs the voice on its paid plans. Burncaps translates the caption text into 37 languages; it does not dub the voice.
Drop an MP4 or MOV of up to ten minutes. The speech model runs in your browser, so the video never leaves your device. On a phone, or for a language other than English, you can choose our speech service instead, which gets only the sound.
The transcript opens as a script under the video. Click a word to fix it, and one click fixes it everywhere it was heard. Choose one to six words at a time, the position, the size and the text and highlight colours.
Pick one of 20 animated styles, where each word lights up as it is said, and export one MP4. Or ask for the best 30 or 60 seconds, cut to 9:16 and framed on your face. SRT, VTT, ASS and text files are free without limit for recordings up to ten minutes.
Free to use: two videos every 30 days with no mark, or $49 once for unlimited videos. Pro is not a subscription, and the free videos need no account.
Burncaps is free with every feature for two videos every 30 days with no mark, all 20 caption styles included, and Pro, $49 once, gives unlimited videos. It runs in the browser on a phone or a computer, without uploading the video and without an account.
Yes. As read on captions.ai on 14 October 2026, Captions.ai's free plan has one caption template, Eclipse; its help page says it has 60 to 200 credits for life and no watermark, while its pricing page lists no AI credits on Free. Its pricing page starts at Max, $24.99 a month for iOS.
No. Burncaps runs in the browser on a computer or a phone: open burncaps.app and drop a video. The burned-in export works on many phones, more slowly than on a computer; Chrome or Edge on a computer is the fastest and surest.
No. The video opens in your browser and never leaves your device. The sound leaves only if you choose our speech service, and then only the sound, in short pieces, never the picture. The transcript text leaves only for the optional best-moment pick, name check or translation, and ticking Keep everything on this device stops that.
Pro is a single payment of $49, not a subscription, for unlimited videos with no mark. Every video, free or Pro, gets every style and the max-accuracy model; without Pro, two videos are free every 30 days with no mark, and subtitle files are free without limit for videos up to ten minutes.
What it is: a browser tool that burns animated word-by-word captions into a talking video, or cuts it to its best 30 or 60 seconds.
Price: free with every feature, for two videos every 30 days with no mark; Pro, $49 once, gives unlimited videos with no mark. Pro is not a subscription.
Privacy: the video never leaves your browser. The sound leaves only if you choose our speech service.
Files: MP4 or MOV up to ten minutes in; an MP4 with the captions burned in out. SRT, VTT, ASS and text files are free without limit for recordings up to ten minutes. A longer recording, up to 90 minutes on a computer, gives its script and those files: the first ten minutes free, all of it with Pro.
Languages and styles: captions in the language spoken, twelve Indian languages heard on your device, translation into 37 languages, 20 caption styles.
After it listens: correct any word (one click changes it everywhere), add or cut words, one to six words at a time, position, size, text and highlight colours, and names this browser remembers, all free and without listening again.
