Our Verdict
ezsubs for desktop creators,
Captions.ai for pure mobile

If you edit on a computer, even occasionally, ezsubs is the clear winner. More styles, lower price, web-based, and it works on any screen. But if you film on your iPhone and want to post in two taps without ever opening a laptop, Captions.ai has a genuinely excellent mobile experience and the eye contact AI feature is uniquely useful. The choice comes down to your primary device, not which tool is "better" in the abstract.
