Which should you choose?

iMovie: Apple's free video editor for Mac, iPhone and iPad.

Captions: AI video editing app for captions, eye contact correction and dubbing.

The best way to decide is to run the same week of real work through both — most offer a free plan or trial — and compare how long tasks take, what your team prefers, and the total cost for your number of users including renewal pricing.
