A Captions app alternative that follows the song
Captions is an AI video editor for phone and web, with automatic captions, AI avatars and AI edits. If your videos are songs, live shows and artist interviews, TONTRIA Clips follows the singing: the clips, the karaoke captions, the lyric video and the release pieces.
Free plan: 30 credits to start, no card needed. Paid plans from USD 10 a month (USD 7 billed yearly).
What TONTRIA does differently
Both tools add stylized captions to your videos. These are the parts where TONTRIA is built around music.
An edit mode for singing
“Viral – sung” keeps the singer in the 9:16 frame while the voice carries the clip, and cuts to the band or the crowd.
Karaoke captions for lyrics
Each sung word lights up as it is sung, styled with the artist’s fonts and colors.
Lyric videos from a link
Make a lyric video from a Spotify or YouTube link, with the cover and synced lyrics, using the same credits as the clips.
Release pieces from one link
Coming soon, countdown, out now and the Spotify Canvas loop, as images or animated videos.
Built for labels
Brand templates per artist and up to 5 team members on the Label plan, with 1,500 credits a month.

When TONTRIA is the better choice
- Your videos are mostly music: live shows, sessions, music videos, interviews with artists. The sung edit mode and karaoke captions are designed for them.
- You need the whole release, not only captions: a lyric video and release pieces from the song link, in the same account.
- You manage several artists: brand templates per artist and up to 5 team members on the Label plan.
When the Captions app may suit you better
- You want AI avatars or an AI twin of yourself.
- You want AI B-roll and edits driven by text prompts.
- You edit on your phone with a native iOS or Android app.
We would rather you pick the right tool than the wrong one. If you are not sure, run the same video through both free options and compare.
How to try TONTRIA with the same video
- Copy the YouTube link of a video you already captioned elsewhere.
- Paste it above, choose viral – sung for performances or viral – spoken for interviews, and pick a caption style.
- Compare the moments, the framing and the captions. Then decide.

Captions app alternative: questions
How do the prices compare?
As of October 12, 2026, the Captions pricing page shows prices for its iOS plans: Max at USD 24.99 a month with 500 credits, and Frontier at USD 69.99 a month with 1,400 credits (larger Frontier tiers go up to USD 279.99 a month). It shows no price for the Free plan and gives no yearly figures. TONTRIA Creator is USD 10 a month (USD 7 billed yearly) for 150 credits, where 1 credit is 1 minute processed. The credits are not the same unit, so check both pricing pages before deciding.
Does the Captions app have a free plan?
Yes. Its pricing page lists a Free plan with basic tools such as trimming and transitions and 1 caption template, and no AI usage credits. It doesn’t state the export resolution or whether exports have a watermark. TONTRIA’s free plan gives 30 credits to start (one time, they don’t renew), exports up to 720p with a watermark and includes the clips, lyric videos, release assets and the editor.
Can the Captions app make lyric videos or Spotify Canvas?
Its product page mentions generated royalty-free music and sound effects, but doesn’t mention lyrics, karaoke or singing. In TONTRIA, lyric videos, release pieces and the Canvas are part of the same plans and credits as the clips.
What does the Captions app offer that TONTRIA doesn’t?
Its product page lists AI avatars and AI twins, eye contact correction, AI B-roll, text-to-edit prompts, translated subtitles in 100+ languages and apps for iOS and Android. TONTRIA has no avatars and the app runs in the browser.
Can I move my workflow from the Captions app to TONTRIA?
Yes. Paste the same YouTube links or upload the same files. Save your caption style and logo as a template once, and every new clip starts with it.
