MixCaptions review
A mobile-first captioning app with editing, styling, translation, and social exports.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
MixCaptions is an AI captioning app for creators, influencers, business owners, and educators who need to turn spoken video into editable subtitles. It automatically transcribes video audio, generates captions, and supports caption text and timing edits. The app is available on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Android, with tools suited to short-form social content as well as broader video workflows.
Its plan structure covers several usage needs. The published options include 3 minutes, 10 minutes, 60 minutes, and 300 minutes, each centered on caption transcription. Other plans focus on specific capabilities: Short video subscription provides short-video captioning, Business Monthly Subscription provides business transcription access, Transcribe videos for Pros provides pro transcription access, and Unlock MixCaptions Editor provides caption editing. The free first video is up to 3 minutes, while individual subscribers can transcribe up to 10 minutes and business subscribers up to 30 minutes. App Store pricing is region-specific and may change.
MixCaptions stands out through the breadth of its caption workflow rather than transcription alone. Users can style captions with fonts, colors, backgrounds, and placement; translate and transcribe in multiple languages; import and export SRT files; burn captions into exported videos; add custom text or image watermarks; and work with common social-media video ratios. That makes it a practical fit for mobile creators who publish across social formats and need visual control. It is less suitable for buyers seeking a single, simple plan or subtitle workflows built around formats beyond SRT.
