What our research says

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

Zeemo

Solid on the thing it originally did — fast burned-in captions across a very wide language list — and the mobile apps mean you can do it without a laptop. The generation features are a thin wrapper over other people's models, so judge it on captions rather than on the model list. Watch the credit maths: the free tier's 120 credits a year is a demo, not a free plan.

Pros

Captions and translation across roughly 95 languages
Native iOS and Android apps alongside the web studio
Cheap entry: $8 a month on annual billing removes the watermark and unlocks 1080p
Bundles transcription, translation and video editing in one place

Cons

Free tier is 120 credits a year, which is nearly nothing
Video length capped at 1 minute free and 3 minutes on Pro
The generation features are resold third-party models, not Zeemo's own
No API yet, and storage retention is only 3 to 30 days by tier
