Compare · Captions app alternative
Captions (by Mirage) is a mature AI video app, with avatars and lip-synced dubbing. Voxcene is a newer iPhone editor that focuses on captions for longer videos. You approve its AI cuts before they happen, and you can take the subtitle files anywhere. This is how the two compare, using Captions' facts from its own pages.
01 · Side by side
A green mark means one app is clearly ahead on that row. We took the Captions facts from its help centre, pricing page and App Store listing, checked in October 2026. If a cell says “Not compared”, we didn't find it stated there. That doesn't mean Captions can't do it.

Captions' own pages differ on some numbers (100+ caption languages on its pricing page, 91+ in the App Store). They also differ on whether free exports carry a watermark, so we don't state that either way.

Voxcene
Voxcene Basic is a euro cheaper by the month, and Captions Basic is cheaper by the year. For AI tools, Voxcene Premium at €17.99 a month costs less than Captions Max. Max does include lip-synced dubbing and AI avatars, though, and Premium doesn't. Voxcene Basic has no AI credits.

04 · Captions you keep
Captions burned into the picture are only half the job. On Voxcene's Export screen you get the video in 720p, 1080p or 4K (depending on plan), and on every plan you can add the subtitle files too. SRT and VTT suit YouTube and video players, and ASS is for styled subtitles. TXT gives you a plain transcript, and JSON includes the word timings.
The captions have word-level timing in 60+ languages, and you can fix any word. You can also split a caption before a word, or merge two. The long version of this comparison is on our blog: Voxcene vs Captions: which caption app should you use?
