Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Captions

  • Credit rollover limited to 3x monthly maximum, forcing spending within quarters
  • Free plan provides limited editing capability, requiring immediate paid upgrade
  • Minimum 3-day refund window and 10-20 percent credit usage threshold restricts refunds
  • Per-credit pricing model increases costs for high-volume video production
  • Enterprise plan requires custom negotiation with no transparent pricing

Demio

  • The Starter plan at $45 a month billed annually caps attendees at 50 and sessions at 3 hours
  • Automated and pre recorded on demand webinars are excluded from Starter, so the entry plan is live only
  • 1080p streaming, restreaming, live captions, auto transcriptions and custom domains are all Premium only
  • Attendee capacity is a priced tier within a plan rather than a soft limit, at 150, 500, 1,000 or 3,000
  • Only Premium, at $196 a month billed annually, removes the host limit
