- Price: Starter is $12 a month billed yearly, or $19 monthly, for 15 videos of up to 2 minutes. Business, at $41 a month billed yearly, takes videos up to 30 minutes.
- Tradeoff: Submagic has no free plan, though you can try it without a card.
Captions
Captions is a phone app that edits a video of you talking by itself. You pick an AI edit style, and it cuts the clip and adds captions and b-roll.
- Best for: creators who record and edit short clips on their phone.
- It has a teleprompter, captions in more than 100 languages, eye contact correction and noise removal.

Which OneTake AI alternative should you choose?

Choose Jupitrr AI if you want the first edit made for you for less, from $18 a month billed yearly.
Choose Gling if you want silences and repeated lines removed from long recordings, then finish them in your own editor.
Choose Descript if you want to edit long recordings yourself by editing the transcript.
Choose Submagic if you already have short clips and want captions and b-roll added.
Choose Captions if you record and edit short clips on your phone.
Choose OneTake AI if your recordings are hour-long lessons that should come back edited, hosted and published.
Choose Cutroom if you film yourself talking and want a finished 9:16 ad back. Your first video is free.
Where Cutroom fits
OneTake AI edits long lessons. Cutroom makes short ads, such as an ad for your course. It turns one clip of you talking, up to 3 minutes, into a finished 9:16 ad.
- You upload one clip of yourself talking, up to 3 minutes long. Longer clips are refused at upload.
- Cutroom cuts it, adds captions in one of 40 styles, puts b-roll on the words you pick and adds a hook.
- You get a finished 9:16 MP4, and you change it in the transcript by fixing a misheard word or moving b-roll to other words.
- It does not host or publish videos, and it cannot edit an hour-long lesson.
- Your first video is free, with no card, and you have 7 days to make it. It carries a Cutroom mark. Lite, at $19.99 a month, removes the mark and gives you about 10 one-minute videos.
