Chockstone and Captions
Captions is built around generated video features such as an AI Twin and dubbing. Chockstone cuts clips you filmed, on your phone, then posts them and shows what worked.

Where Captions is better
- It lists generated video: an AI Twin from one selfie, AI Actors, outfit and background changes, and dubbing. Chockstone makes none of these.
- Its help page lists a Captions API, and its sign-up section lists Android. Chockstone runs on iPhone and web.
- Its home page lists correcting eye contact and generating music and sound effects. Chockstone does neither.
Where Chockstone is better
- Chockstone edits the clips you filmed and shows the plan before it edits.
- Posting, comments and DMs, a link page and results sit in the same app. The Captions pages read on this date describe none of them.
- Our privacy page rules out training on customer data in one sentence.

Questions
Is Chockstone a Captions alternative?
They overlap on one job: editing video on your phone. Chockstone edits your own clips and does not generate avatars or voices. It also posts, answers comments and DMs, runs a link page and shows results.
Does Chockstone train on my videos?
No. Our privacy page says: “We do not sell it, use it for advertising, share it with data brokers, or use it to train AI models.”
Can I move from Captions?
You do not have to leave. Starter is free with no card, so you can try Chockstone on one brand while you keep Captions.
