Captions is a creator app first, and it shows in the feature list. Max at $24.99 per month lets you create digital twins or custom AI actors, generate fully produced videos with AI Creator, AI Ads and AI Skits, edit through a chat-based editor and cut long recordings into clips, with 500 credits a month and 2 seats. Frontier tiers from $69.99 to $279.99 per month add more credits, more seats and the most advanced generative models. Captions in 100+ languages, AI Translate and AI Lipdub help marketing teams reuse a video across regions, and unused credits roll over up to three times the monthly allowance. The free version covers trimming, transitions and basic captions but no generative tools. For this list's audience it is a marketing tool: there are no LMS exports, quizzes or branching, and the pricing page notes that prices shown reflect iOS plans, so web pricing may differ.
