## Side by side

Prices are in US dollars from [Captions' pricing page](https://www.captions.ai/pricing) and [OpusClip's pricing page](https://www.opus.pro/pricing), checked 3 Nov 2026. OpusClip lists monthly rates only. Captions lists no yearly prices.

## Three differences that matter

- **The job.** Captions has AI Edit styles, Chat to Edit, AI avatars and custom digital twins. OpusClip finds highlights, reframes them and posts them.
- **Hindi.** Captions' help centre lists Hindi and Hinglish. OpusClip's help article says it does not support Hindi, though other pages list it.
- **The free plan.** Captions' free credits are one-time and do not refresh, and projects that use AI features need a paid plan to export. OpusClip's free plan refreshes monthly, per its blog, but caption templates carry a watermark.

## A worked example

Say you want a year of dubbing.

- OpusClip lists dubbing on Pro: $29 x 12 = $348.
- Captions Max: $24.99 x 12 = $299.88. Its pages we read do not say which plan includes Lipdub, so check before you buy.

## Which to pick

- **Webinars and podcasts cut into clips:** OpusClip.
- **Talking-head ads, AI creators and dubbed versions:** Captions.
- **Hindi or Hinglish captions:** Captions, since its help centre lists both. Test OpusClip first.

## Where Marxx fits

[Marxx's AI video editor](/features/ai-video-editor) lists lip sync and dubbing on its Match plan, $29 a month at launch prices (checked 3 Nov 2026), plus a multi-track timeline. Generation uses credits. We make Marxx.

## FAQ

### Does Captions have a free plan?

Yes, with one-time credits and basic editing tools. Projects that use AI features need a paid plan to export.

### Does OpusClip support Hindi?

Its help article says no. Other Opus pages list Hindi, so test a short clip.

### Which handles dubbing better?

The pages we read do not rank them. Captions lists translation into 100+ languages with Lipdub. OpusClip lists video dubbing on Pro. For a caption-first option, read [Submagic vs Captions](/compare/submagic-vs-captions).
