Which one should you pick?
Pick AutoCap if
You’re building around mobile creators. AutoCap is the cheap phone captioner you'd hand to someone who films their own clips on an iPhone and just wants captions, not a workflow. Five bucks a month, no watermark, decent fonts.
Pick EZTitles if
You’re building around broadcasters and localization houses with strict format requirements. EZTitles is the heavyweight in professional captioning on Windows. Format support is exhaustive — MXF, MPEG containers, EBU-STL, SCC, the long tail of regional broadcast standards.
