# Expert Media vs Captions Maker

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Expert Media at 9K against Captions Maker's 1. Expert Media also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Expert Media sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Captions Maker sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Captions Maker holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Expert Media has 9K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Expert Media ships an update every 2 weeks, Captions Maker fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
