Neither site lists prices. These are in-app prices on the Indian iPhone App Store, checked 3 Nov 2026, and they vary by store and date. VN's cloud captions use credits, sold in packs from INR 99 to INR 999.

## Three differences that matter

- **Watermark.** VN says its tools come with no watermarks. InShot's site does not say, but its terms list logo and ads removal as a paid benefit.
- **Captions.** VN's Tiny and Base models run on your phone with no watermark or subscription. Its cloud mode is usually best and uses credits. InShot's App Store listing offers AI speech-to-text with bilingual subtitles.
- **Platforms and help.** VN also runs on Mac and Windows, and documents its steps. InShot's site offers phone apps only and publishes video tutorials.

## Captions in VN

[VN's caption help page](https://vlognow.me/help/creative-tools/caption-tts/), updated 20 Oct 2026, gives these steps.

1. Select the clip with speech and tap [Auto Captions].
2. Set [Spoken language].
3. Pick a look under [Templates] if you want one.
4. Choose Tiny, Base or Cloud-based under "Conversion Mode".
5. Select the captions and tap [Edit] to fix the text.

## A worked example

Say you edit Reels on your phone for a year.

- InShot Pro monthly: INR 399 x 12 = INR 4,788. Yearly: INR 1,499, which saves INR 3,289.
- InShot lifetime: INR 3,999. It beats yearly in the third year, since INR 1,499 x 3 = INR 4,497.
- VN: INR 0 if the free tier is enough.

## Where Marxx fits

[Marxx's AI video editor](/features/ai-video-editor) is a browser editor, not a phone app: on a phone it opens a player. If you cut ads at a desk, it adds captions and a multi-track timeline. We make Marxx.
