FAQ
Captions AI frequently asked questions
Is Captions AI free?
Captions offers a free trial and a limited free tier so you can test auto-captioning and AI edits, but exports on the free plan are watermarked and capped. To publish clean, watermark-free clips at volume you'll need a paid subscription, which typically starts around $10–25/mo depending on the feature set.
How much does Captions AI cost?
Captions is subscription-based, with entry paid plans commonly landing in the $10–25/mo range billed annually and higher Pro tiers unlocking AI dubbing, more render minutes, and advanced editing. Pricing changes often as new AI features ship, so check the Captions pricing page for current numbers before committing.
Is Captions AI good for faceless YouTube channels?
It's strong for short-form and talking-head content thanks to auto-captions, eye contact correction, and AI voices, but it's optimized for social clips rather than long-form faceless videos over stock footage. For pure faceless YouTube automation, many creators pair it with a text-to-video tool like Pictory or Fliki and use Captions mainly for captioning and repurposing.
Does Captions AI add captions automatically?
Yes — auto-captioning is its core feature. It transcribes your audio, styles animated captions, and syncs them to the beat with minimal manual work, which is why short-form creators use it to speed up Reels, Shorts, and TikTok edits. You can edit wording and styling after the AI first pass.
Captions AI vs Submagic — which is better?
Both auto-caption short-form video, but Captions leans into a full editing suite with AI voices, dubbing, and eye contact correction, while Submagic focuses tightly on fast, trendy caption styles and B-roll for clip creators. Pick Captions if you want an all-in-one editor; pick Submagic if you mainly want the quickest path to viral-style captions.
