Kapwing runs entirely in the browser and is designed around a shared workspace, which makes it a practical choice for teams that pass videos between writers, editors and approvers. Its AI features run on credits: Pro includes 1,000 credits a month, usable for up to 1,000 minutes of auto-subtitling or up to 50 minutes of dubbing. Pro also removes the watermark, raises the upload limit to 6 GB, exports in 4K, allows projects up to two hours long and adds a Brand Kit with custom fonts and 200 GB of storage. Business at $50 multiplies the credits by four and adds custom voice clones, lip sync and extra credit purchases. The free plan is genuinely usable for quick social edits, with unlimited watermarked exports up to four minutes at 720p. Kapwing's FAQ says it does not offer a free trial of paid plans, so test on the free tier first. For captioning and translating marketing video as a team, it is a strong middle option.
Who it is for
Small marketing and content teams who edit together in the browser.
Price
Free plan; Pro $16 per month billed annually.
