Captions: review, pricing, data and alternatives

What is Captions?

Captions helps people create and edit videos using instructions. It supports automatic subtitles, video translation and dubbing, and the creation of videos featuring an avatar or a digital double.

According to its documentation, Captions lets you:

• automatically add subtitles
• translate and dub a video
• edit a video from instructions
• create videos with an avatar or a digital double

We file it under Subtitles and dubbing, the category of tools to subtitle and dub videos, and it also overlaps with aI video editing and aI video avatars. The category lists 7 verified tools on this site.

The publisher is Mirage US LLC, based in United States.

Who is it for?

It is mostly useful to these profiles: video creators, social media managers, and marketers. The need it covers is simple to state: subtitle and dub videos.

Captions is a good candidate if:

• you want to try before paying
• you plan to connect it to your tools or automations through its API
• you also work from your phone

Before deciding, run a trial on a real task and measure the time saved: it is the only criterion that really counts.

How much does Captions cost?

Pricing model: freemium (limited free use, then paid). A free plan is offered, usually limited in volume or features.

The first paid plan costs $24.99 per month (Max, the first plan presented on the official pricing page; iOS pricing. The store also mentions Basic subscriptions that are not detailed on that page), according to the pricing page, checked on October 24, 2026.

Per month, that is more expensive than the category median ($18 per month, based on tools with a published price).

To estimate what the same work would cost done directly with an AI model, use our API price calculator. Prices change often: always check the official site before subscribing.

Data and privacy

The publisher does not clearly state where data is hosted. Assume your content may leave your region.

For professional use, check that a data processing agreement (DPA) is offered, and do not send customers' personal data or confidential documents without one.

Exporting your content: yes (details on the official site). Being able to get your data back makes switching tools easier later.

Three habits apply to every AI tool:

• turn off the use of your content for training if the option exists
• use a work account separate from your personal account
• review everything the tool produces before publishing or sending it

Platforms, languages and API

Captions runs on: web browser, iPhone and iPad, Android, and API.

The interface is available in 34 languages.

A public API lets you call it from your own programs or an automation tool, and plug it into an AI agent.
