Our take
Pick Captions if creators who already film themselves and want captions plus generative B-roll in one app. Pick Kapwing if social teams who already have footage and need captions / resize / collab in one tab. Skip Captions if people who start from a blog URL (Pictory) or a meeting bot (tl;dv). Skip Kapwing if people who want a transcript-first podcast cut (Descript) or a prompt-to-video model (Runway).
