A Captions AI alternative for your own recordings
You already have the interview or lesson. Clyps helps you choose the excerpt, correct the captions, and finish a short video with the original speaker.
Choose the workflow you need
Captions offers a wider generative creation workflow, including AI actors, digital twins, generated B-roll, and chat-based editing. Its current pricing page also lists long-video clipping. Clyps focuses on editing an uploaded recording and selecting stock cutaways from Pexels.
Choose Captions when you need synthetic presenters or generated scenes as part of production. Try Clyps when you want short excerpts of a person you already recorded, with direct control over the range, frame, and captions.

Compare the plan units before the price
On September 9, 2026, Captions listed Max at $24.99 per month with 500 credits. The page explicitly says its displayed prices and features reflect iOS plans only. Compare the plan on your intended platform before treating that price as a web subscription quote.
Clyps Free includes 30 source minutes, 10 finished minutes, and three exports per month. Free exports have a watermark and free media expires after seven days. Creator is $19 monthly for 300 source minutes, 120 finished minutes, and 60 exports. Paid plans remove the Clyps watermark.
For example, four 20-minute recordings with three one-minute exports from each use 80 source minutes, 12 finished minutes, and 12 exports. That fits Creator before other usage or additional exports. Estimate your own month using all three limits.
Try one recording before moving the series
A recorded product interview needs a 45-second answer for a social post. Start before the guest names the customer problem, keep the example, and finish after the answer. Correct the company name in captions and use the original speaker throughout. A stock office cutaway is optional; a generated presenter is a different production choice.
In Clyps, open a suggested moment, adjust its range, and review the transcript against the audio. Set the frame and caption appearance in the preview. Optional Pexels stock B-roll can illustrate the speech. Export the clip, play the downloaded file, and check it before publishing.
Switching questions
- Can Clyps replace Captions AI actors or voice cloning?
- No. Clyps edits existing video and its captions. It does not generate an actor, clone a voice, or synthesize a new scene. Use a tool built for those jobs if they are part of your workflow.
- Can I try Clyps for free?
- Yes. Free includes 30 source minutes, 10 finished minutes, and three exports per month. Exports carry a Clyps watermark and free media expires after seven days.
- Can I bring an existing editing project into Clyps?
- Export a video from your current editor, then upload that file. Clyps does not import another editor's project, track structure, or edit history.
