Pricing
FreemiumCaptions follows a freemium model. The free plan lets you edit and export clips but includes no AI credits, so generative features such as AI Twins are locked.
Paid plans reported at the time of research include Max at about $24.99/month and the higher Frontier tier from roughly $69.99/month, with more AI credits and export options. Plans are managed mainly through the iOS app.
Pricing has shifted since the Mirage rebrand, and enterprise or API access is quote-based, so confirm current numbers in the app before purchasing.

Standard – $9.99/month: Includes 2,000 credits/month with core image, video, and audio tools plus access to Firefly apps.
