Captions
AI editing for talking-head video on iPhone
Captions edits the kind of video where somebody talks to the camera. It cuts the pauses, animates the subtitles and can generate the B-roll, music and sound effects that go around what you actually shot. The AI actor feature produces footage of a presenter from a script, either an invented one or a twin of you. Its pricing covers the iOS plans and the page says so rather than leaving you to find out.
Our note
This is the strongest of the phone-first AI editors and the least useful if you already own a desktop workflow. Treat the credit allowance rather than the monthly price as the real limit.

Klap
Long videos cut into shorts, priced per clip
Klap takes a long video and returns vertical clips with the speaker tracked and subtitles burned in. The plan you buy is a number of clips a month rather than a number of hours uploaded, which is the honest way round for anyone whose source videos are long. There is no free plan, so the first look costs money.
