Clipped turns long recordings (podcasts, interviews, lectures, livestreams) into short, ready-to-post clips, entirely on your iPhone. No uploads. No account. No monthly credit limits. Because every model runs on-device, Clipped works in airplane mode and never sends your footage anywhere. HOW IT WORKS 1. Import a long video: podcast, interview, lecture, livestream, or vlog. 2. Pick a model in Settings: Smarter for the best highlight picks, Faster for quicker results, or No AI to choose moments yourself. Apple's on-device Speech engine transcribes the audio; download extra language packs anytime. 3. On-device AI finds the strongest moments and builds clips automatically. 4. Auto-captions are burned into the video. Choose from 7 animated styles, customize the colors, and preview the look live before exporting. 5. Reframe from 16:9 to 9:16 with face detection and tracking. Pick a layout: hard crop that follows the speaker, split-screen, or blur-fill. 6. Export straight to your Camera Roll, ready to post to TikTok, Reels, or Shorts. NEW IN 2.0 - Advanced framing: split-screen panes and a face-tracked camera with smooth motion - Enhance pass: adds AI-timed visual beats, animated text and stat overlays synced to what's being said - AI social captions: generate ready-to-post captions with Apple Intelligence - Redesigned Home and Settings, a model download manager, and noticeably faster transcription WHY ON-DEVICE MATTERS - Your footage never leaves your phone. No cloud, no server, nothing to leak. - Works anywhere: airplane mode, no signal, remote shoots, sensitive client footage. - No account required. Open the app and start clipping. - No monthly credit limits. One podcast or fifty, clip as many as you like, every day. PERFECT FOR - Podcasters turning full episodes into shorts - Streamers and YouTubers clipping long VODs and streams - Interviewers, coaches, and course creators repurposing long recordings - Anyone who wants full control over sensitive or unreleased footage HONEST PRICING Clipped is free to use. Every export includes a small watermark until you remove it with a single one-time purchase. That's the whole model: no subscription, no monthly credits, no "Pro" tier, no paywalled features. Compare that to the rest of this category, which is entirely subscription- and credit-metered, often $15-$30 a month or more. With Clipped, what you pay never changes whether you clip once or every single day. Privacy: https://www.clipped.cc/privacy Terms: https://www.clipped.cc/terms https://www.clipped.cc/

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Clipped at 5.0 against CaptionAddr's 4.6. CaptionAddr's advantage is ratings volume (7 vs 1) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. CaptionAddr sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $6.99 per month and Clipped sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Clipped holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CaptionAddr has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
CaptionAddr ships an update monthly, Clipped every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 17, 2026 and September 16, 2026 respectively.
