<b>Submagic vs Captions: the AI-caption duel</b>

Two apps built only for short-form captions and b-roll.

Submagic ($16/mo, 30 videos):
— Pros: auto emoji + zoom + b-roll insertion, fast batch export, good for talking-head Shorts
— Cons: emoji spam looks templated, gets repetitive across a channel

Captions ($24.99/mo desktop):
— Pros: AI Eye Contact and Dub features are genuinely strong, polished UI
— Cons: pricier, mobile and desktop plans billed separately, watermark on free

Verdict: Submagic if you pump volume and want hands-off styling; Captions if eye-contact correction and dubbing matter more than caption flair.

Not for you if you want full manual control over kerning — both auto-style aggressively. Pick Submagic for cost, Captions for the AI gimmicks that actually work.
