Which one should you pick?
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.
Pick Zubtitle if
You’re building around social marketers. Zubtitle is the boring-good tool you'd pick when you already have a clip and just need captions, a headline, and a square crop without thinking about it. There's no 'AI finds your viral moment' magic, which is honestly refreshing.
