Captions vs VEED

Captions

• Creators posting short talking-head videos to TikTok, Instagram and YouTube Shorts
• Marketers producing ad variations with AI actors instead of filming
• People who want captions and translated subtitles added automatically

VEED

• Marketers and creators making short social videos in a browser
• Adding styled subtitles and translations to existing footage
• Teams that want AI-generated talking-head or faceless videos

Captions

• There is no Mac or Windows app: on a computer it runs in the browser, and projects are stored on the device and do not sync between devices.
• The Android app is Captions Lite, a manual editor. Its $4.99 Lite plan works only on Android; iOS and web need a separate subscription.
• AI Edit, the chat-based editor, Clips and AI Twins start on Max at $24.99 a month, and Prompt to Video uses 16 credits for every 6 seconds.
• The pricing page says its prices reflect iOS plans and lists no yearly prices; Basic and Lite appear only in the help center.

VEED

• Free exports are limited to 720p and carry a VEED watermark that cannot be moved or removed.
• Web plans are billed per seat, so the plan price is multiplied by the number of editors in the workspace.
• AI credits refresh when the subscription renews and unused credits do not carry over.
• The pricing page shows local-currency prices; the dollar prices here come from the US App Store listing and web checkout prices may differ.

Captions

AI Edit

Pick an editing style and the app cuts scenes and adds B-roll, zooms, transitions, music and captions. It handles clips of up to 2 minutes on iOS and 1 minute on the web.

Chat-based editor

Type the change you want and the editor applies it. Each message uses 2 credits and each action taken 1 credit, with more for generated media.

Captions, translation and dubbing

Generates captions in 100+ styles, translates subtitles into 100+ languages and dubs video into 30+ languages with a clone of the speaker's voice.

AI avatars and AI Twin

Generates a talking-head video from a script using a built-in AI actor or a digital twin of yourself. The Max plan allows up to 30 AI Twins.

Clips

Turns one long video into a batch of short clips that are ready to post. Clips is included from the Max plan.

Eye contact, denoise and trimming

Corrects eye contact, removes background noise and cuts pauses and filler words. On Android, eye contact and denoise need the Lite plan.

VEED

AI video generation

Type an idea and get a draft video as a talking character or a faceless format, using models such as VEED Fabric and Google Veo. Each generation spends AI credits from the plan.

Browser video editor

Trim, crop and arrange clips on a timeline, add text and music, or cut footage by deleting words from the transcript. It runs in Chrome, Safari, Edge and Firefox without a download.

Subtitles and translation

Auto-generated subtitles with animated styles. Paid plans include unlimited subtitles under a 50-hour monthly fair-use limit, while translation minutes count against the plan's allowance.

AI voices, avatars and dubbing

Text-to-speech, voice cloning, AI dubbing and AI characters for talking-head videos. AI voice time is capped by plan.

Screen and webcam recorder

Record a browser tab, a window or the whole screen with webcam and microphone in a chosen layout, then open the recording in the editor.

Brand kits and templates

Store brand fonts, colors, logos and watermarks for reuse across projects. Multiple brand kits start on Pro and custom templates on Studio.
