A Captions alternative: Teleprompter Cut with a free teleprompter

Captions is a strong AI video app. On Android it's called “Captions Lite”, and according to its help centre the teleprompter sits in the paid Lite plan there. Teleprompter Cut gives you teleprompter, captions, silence cutting and zoom for free, with no account. In return, Captions has AI features we don't.

When Teleprompter Cut fits

You want a teleprompter without taking out a subscription.
You don't want to create an account.

What Captions does better

Captions offers AI features that need compute or servers: eye-contact correction, noise removal, AI dubbing in around 30 languages, AI scripts and, on higher plans, AI avatars. If you need those and are happy to pay, Captions gives you more.

Two approaches

Captions leans on AI that does a lot for you and bills AI features in credits. Teleprompter Cut leans on a few clear steps that cost nothing. For clean talking videos with captions, that is enough in most cases.

Questions

Is the Captions teleprompter free?

Not on Android, according to its help centre: it's part of the Lite plan at $4.99 a month (as of 6 Nov 2026).

Does Teleprompter Cut correct eye contact?

No. With the teleprompter your eyes stay close to the lens anyway; there is no correction afterwards.
