In short
Hand-off is built in
EZTitles has no assign, review, and approve workflow on its pages. In CaptionsHero, each language goes to an editor, then to a reviewer who comments on exact lines and approves.
One price for the team
EZTitles rents one licence per workstation, from €80 a month. CaptionsHero Team is $149 a month for 8 seats.
Formats are the trade-off
EZTitles handles 80+ broadcast, cinema, and streaming formats. CaptionsHero imports and exports SRT and VTT only. Choose by what you deliver.

Why teams move from EZTitles
Review is part of the file
A reviewer sees the exact line, leaves a comment, and asks for changes. The editor sees it in the same project.
No licence for each editor
Each EZTitles editor needs a licence. CaptionsHero charges per organization, and every plan lists its seats.
AI minutes are in the plan
EZTitles bills audio analysis per minute and translation per character from a separate wallet. CaptionsHero paid plans include AI minutes.
No more final_v3_REVIEWED.srt.
Stop passing files around. Edit, review, and approve in one place.

What it costs: CaptionsHero vs EZTitles
Monthly list prices: euros for EZTitles, dollars for CaptionsHero. EZTitles rents one licence per workstation, so team rows count one Essentials licence each.
| Team size | EZTitles | CaptionsHero |
|---|---|---|
| 1 person | €80 (Essentials), or €1,720 once | Free, or $29 |
| Team of 8 | €640 (8 licences) | $149 (Team) |
| Team of 20 | €1,600 (20 licences) | $399 (Studio) |
EZTitles can be bought once, from €1,720. But it lists no assign, review, and approve workflow. CaptionsHero includes it, with email notifications, AI minutes for transcription and translation, a REST API, and Cloudflare Stream and YouTube integration.

Common questions
Is CaptionsHero cheaper than EZTitles?
For a team, yes on list price. Eight Essentials rentals cost €640 a month. CaptionsHero Team costs $149 a month for 8 seats. One editor who wants no monthly bill can buy an EZTitles lifetime licence from €1,720. A shared licence pool through its Online License Manager can lower the team cost. We did not convert currencies.
Does EZTitles run on a Mac?
EZTitles lists Windows workstations. Its change log shows fixes for running it in a virtual machine on a Mac.
Can I move my EZTitles subtitles to CaptionsHero?
Yes, if SRT or VTT is enough. EZTitles exports both. Export the file, then import it into CaptionsHero. Styling and positions that SRT cannot hold may be lost.
Can CaptionsHero export EBU-STL, SCC, or other broadcast formats?
No. CaptionsHero imports and exports SRT and VTT only. If you must deliver broadcast formats, keep EZTitles for that last step.
Does EZTitles have a free trial?
Yes. Its trial page lists a 30-day trial of the Ultimate edition. CaptionsHero has a free Solo plan instead of a trial, with no card.
Does EZTitles support team review?
EZTitles has no assign, review, and approve workflow on its pages. It can save labeled revisions and compare a colleague's corrected file against them, and it can share video in encrypted form with EVS. Shared video plays only inside EZTitles.
