Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: CaptionMate at none against Profy's shown. CaptionMate also leads on review sentiment (75% vs 50%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Profy's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks) and ratings volume (1.7K vs 263). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Profy against 4.8 for CaptionMate. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Profy has 1.7K ratings behind it against 263, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 50% of Profy's written reviews are positive against 75% of CaptionMate's.
Profy ships an update fortnightly, CaptionMate every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
