Captions vs ExpoCut

Captions is an AI video platform for creating and editing videos from footage or prompts. AI Edit can apply cuts, captions, music, and formatting to uploaded material. The service offers automatic transcription, more than 100 caption styles, and translation into over 100 languages. Users can dub videos into more than 30 languages with a cloned version of their voice. Prompt to Video creates talking-head videos from scripts using built-in actors or an AI Twin. The platform is aimed at creators, marketers, and developers making materials such as ads, listing videos, and podcast clips. Its Mirage API generates content from scripts, image references, or actor IDs and uses credit-based billing. The free plan costs nothing and includes no AI usage credits, one caption template, and basic editing tools. Max costs $24.99 a month and includes 500 monthly credits; Frontier plans provide higher credit allowances. Unused credits can roll over for up to two extra months, capped at three times the monthly allowance. Captions is available on Android, iOS, and web, with an API offering.

ExpoCut is a mobile video editor with a multi-track timeline, on-device AI tools and an optional in-app MCP server for assistants. The timeline supports unlimited video, audio, image, text, sticker and shape tracks, with frame-accurate trimming and splitting. AI features include background removal, chroma key, auto reframe, speech-to-text captions and text-to-speech voiceover. Hardware encoding on the device supports exports up to 3840×2160 at 60 fps in H.264 or HEVC. Editing, rendering, captions and export run on-device, and projects and media are not uploaded by default. Cloud AI is opt-in; Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics are enabled by default but can be disabled in Settings. The Free plan is listed at free, requires no account and supports exports up to 4K, but adds a 3-second ExpoCut outro. Pro and Elite use local store pricing, with weekly through annual options. The app is available for iOS and Android; a command-line renderer also runs on macOS, Windows or Linux.
