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 Veed if
You’re building around browser-first editors. Veed is the browser editor most teams default to when they need captions, a trim, and a reframe in the same afternoon. The Eye Contact AI thing is real and weirdly useful for reading-from-script talking heads.
