## Edits and VN

Edits is free and has no added watermark. It lists captions, templates and AI image animation. VN's site says its tools are free with no watermarks. Its free Auto Caption runs on-device models, and its Cloud mode uses credits. VN exports up to 4K at 60 fps.

## InShot

InShot lists auto captions in multiple languages but names none on its site or the App Store, so test Hindi yourself. Its App Store listing says AI Cut removes silences and filler words, and that it saves up to 4K at 60 fps. InShot has no written help pages, only video tutorials, so check menus in the app.

## KineMaster

The free version shows ads and an export watermark. Premium removes both. KineMaster says its AI turns speech into editable subtitles in 36 languages, including Hindi. It also lists Magic Remover for backgrounds. The AI tools need at least 4 GB of RAM. Exports run from SD to QHD (4K) at up to 60 fps.

## Captions and Alight Motion

Captions lists Hindi and Hinglish captions and a Lipdub tool. Its Android-only Lite plan is on a help page, not its pricing page. Alight Motion is a motion-design app, not a captions-first editor. It lists keyframes, masking and easing curves. Its free exports carry a watermark.

CapCut is not officially available in India: it is not on the Indian App Store, and its pricing page shows no plans to visitors from India (checked 3 Nov 2026).

## A worked example

Say you edit all year on InShot. Monthly is Rs 399 x 12 = Rs 4,788. Yearly is Rs 1,499, so you save Rs 3,289. On KineMaster, monthly is Rs 599 x 12 = Rs 7,188 and yearly is Rs 3,999, so you save Rs 3,189. Pay yearly only after you have used the free version for a month.

## How to choose

1. Try Edits or VN first. Both are free.
2. Export one test video and look for a watermark.
3. Test captions in your own language.
4. Check your phone's RAM before you pay for AI tools.

For ad work, a phone can handle a short vertical cut.
