Fluen AI Subtitle Generator vs GetCaptions

Fluen AI Subtitle Generator turns uploaded audio and video into timed subtitles, with an editor for refining captions and exports for subtitle files or captioned video. Inputs include MP4, MOV, MKV, AVI, MP3, WAV, M4A and FLAC. Editing tools include timeline adjustments, speaker labels, filler-word removal and custom glossaries; detected speakers can be renamed or reassigned. Fluen translates captions into more than 50 languages with context-aware formatting and language-specific re-segmentation. Export formats include SRT, WebVTT, TTML, SBV, ITT, EBU STL, SSA, plain text and burned-in MP4. Batch processing, shared project workspaces, a REST API, outbound webhooks and Zapier connections to more than 9,000 apps are also listed. The free plan allows three files of up to 90 minutes each and does not require a card, but exporting requires a paid plan. Free translations are limited to three languages per file and show only the first 15 minutes. Premium costs $259 a year; Team costs $499 a year. Media retention is 30 days for Free, 90 days for Premium and 180 days for Team.

GetCaptions automatically transcribes speech and creates, edits and exports video captions. Its transcription supports more than 100 languages with word-level timing. Users can style captions with animated templates, including karaoke, highlight, neon and pop designs, then translate finished captions into dozens of languages. A brand kit can apply a logo, colors and fonts, importing them from a website or YouTube channel. Videos can be exported with captions burned in, or subtitles can be downloaded as SRT or VTT files. MP4, MOV and WebM are listed upload formats. The free Starter plan includes 60 minutes of transcription per month, videos up to five minutes and three projects. Pro costs $15 a month and includes 500 transcription minutes monthly, videos up to 60 minutes and 50 projects. Studio costs $35 a month and adds one-click publishing to TikTok, Instagram and YouTube, API access and unlimited usage subject to fair use. Uploaded audio is transcribed on GetCaptions' servers rather than sent to a third-party transcription service. Video files are retained for reopening and editing until the project or account is deleted.
