A straightforward browser caption tool with flexible exports and usage-based plans.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
EasyCaptions is a browser-based AI subtitle and captioning tool for creators, marketers, agencies, educators, and internal teams. Users upload video or audio, generate subtitles through AI transcription, review text and timing, style captions, translate subtitles, and export either subtitle files or captioned video. Its workflow suits beginners who want caption creation and editing in one web application without a watermark on the listed plans.
Pricing is based on processed transcription time. The Free plan costs $0 per month and includes 1 processed hour, multi-language transcription, styled captions, 1080p export, and no watermark. Hobby costs $9.90 per month for 3 processed hours and adds 4K export. Creator costs $19 per month for 10 processed hours with the same core export and caption features. Pro costs $39 per month for 25 processed hours and adds priority processing. A 30-day trial is also available, while usage metering makes the plan choice important for regular workloads.
The standout feature is the browser editor, which provides controls for text, timing, line breaks, fonts, outlines, animation, and positioning. Subtitle translation, SRT and VTT export, and burned-in video rendering support different publishing workflows. EasyCaptions is a good fit for individuals and small teams that need styled captions, translation, and standard subtitle exports from a web browser. Choose an alternative if you need a desktop application, more than 30 minutes per video, or a pricing model that does not limit work by processed transcription hours.
