Captions
Captions is the strongest of the phone-first short-video editors, and the caption styling plus eye-contact correction are the two features people actually keep it for. The AI edit pass genuinely removes an hour of manual cutting from a weekly-video habit. The pricing is the problem: it is credit-metered, the published table is labelled iOS-only, and the entry tier's 500 credits disappear fast once you use the generative features it exists to sell.
Pros
- Automatic scene cutting, caption burn-in, b-roll insertion and music in one pass over raw footage
- Over 100 caption styles and support for 100+ languages, including dubbing
- Eye-contact correction handles the single most obvious tell in scripted creator video
- Runs on iOS, Android, web and desktop with the same account
- Free tier still gives trimming, transitions and library media, so the app is usable before paying
Cons
- Everything generative is credit-metered, so the monthly price understates real cost at volume
- The pricing page states it reflects iOS plans only, which leaves web and Android buyers guessing
- Credit rollover is capped at 3x the monthly allowance, so banking credits for a big project does not work
