Captions alternative
The Captions alternative for creators who film themselves.
Captions can make a video of you without you: AI actors, an AI twin, text to video. Bang AI is for the other way. You film yourself selling something, press Auto Edit, and it cuts the ums, adds J and L cuts and captions, and drops your product shot on the line you said it. You post.

Talk to the camera. Press Auto Edit. Post.
That’s the whole job. Bang AI does the part in the middle.
- Talk to the cameraRead a script or wing it. Flub freely; film as many takes as you need.
- Press Auto EditIt cuts the ums, pauses and false starts, adds J and L cuts, punch-ins and captions, and drops in your product shots.
- PostFix a word or swap a take in the Mac app, then export 9:16, 4:5 and 1:1 in one go.
Which one is built for you?
Bang AI is for you if
- You film yourself, and you want it to look like you, not an avatar
- You sell products: your shot and your code land on the line you say them
- You want J and L cuts, so every cut flows instead of jumping
- You flub a line and want to swap in another take of just that line
Captions is for you if
- You want an AI twin or AI actors to make videos without filming
- You want to dub a video into other languages
- You’d rather describe edits in a chat than tap through them
- You want AI to generate music, sounds and visuals for you
Who Bang AI isn’t for: it cuts by what you say, so it works best on talking-to-camera videos with clear speech. If nobody talks in your videos, it’s the wrong app, and we’d rather tell you now.

Bang AI and Captions, answered.
What’s the best Captions app alternative for UGC creators?
If you film yourself selling products, Bang AI. It cuts your real takes, adds J and L cuts and captions, and drops your product shots and discount codes on the line you say them.
Does Captions remove ums and pauses?
Captions’ App Store listing doesn’t say. It describes a one-tap AI edit that cuts scenes, overlays B-roll and adds sounds. Bang AI’s auto edit cuts um, uh, like and you know, long pauses and false starts.
Does Bang AI make AI avatars?
Bang AI edits the video you film; it doesn’t make avatars. If you want a video of you without filming, Captions’ AI twin is built for that.
Can Bang AI resize for TikTok, Reels and YouTube Shorts?
Yes. One export from the Mac app gives you 9:16, 4:5 and 1:1 together.
Is Bang AI on the App Store?
Yes. Get Bang AI on the App Store for iPhone, which films with a teleprompter that scrolls your script, with a countdown. It’s on the web and the Mac too.
Every video you don’t post is money you don’t make.
Bang AI is on iPhone, the web and the Mac.
