Zeemo Review 2026: $8/Month, 60 Caption Hours That Buy 30

The price is real and so is the product: Zeemo captions video in 95 languages from $8/month billed yearly, with a free tier that needs no card and 120 credits that cover an hour of captioned video. What is not real is the number on the Pro card. It sells 3,600 credits as “approx 60h caption video”, while the pricing FAQ on that same page charges 2 credits a minute and the vendor's own subscription endpoint returns captionUnitMinCreditsNeedPay: 2. Sixty hours is thirty, and that is a factor of two on the one feature the product is named after.

What the plans cost

Everything in this review was read first-hand on 27 September 2026 from Zeemo’s own pricing page, its FAQ page, its Terms of Service, its public affiliate page, its subscription API, the logged-in Rewardful affiliate portal, and the Apple and Trustpilot public records. No account was created and no video was captioned, so nothing below is a claim about how good the captions are — the numbers are the vendor’s, and the contract quotes are the vendor’s own wording.

Plan	Monthly	Billed yearly	Credits	Upload limit	Export	Storage
Free	$0	$0	120/year	1 min / 200 MB	720P	3 days
Pro	$9.99	$8 ($95.99/year)	3,600/year	3 min / 500 MB	1080P	15 days
Expert	$19.99	$13.39 ($160.72/year)	7,200/year	5 hrs / 5 GB	4K	30 days
Business	$23.99	$16.07 ($192.88/year)	7,200/year	5 hrs / 5 GB	4K	30 days

Business includes 2 seats with extra seats at $5 per seat per month, shared credits, shared projects, team assets and up to 10 devices. There is also a $1.99 seven-day web plan with 100 credits in the vendor’s own subscription data, which is not shown on the pricing cards — a better test than the free tier’s one-minute upload limit, and cheaper than a month.

The yearly toggle above it is labelled “Up to 50% OFF”, and unlike most such badges this one is achievable: the vendor’s own price table pairs the 16× Expert tier and the 16×–64× Business tiers with an annual discount of exactly 50%. At the tier the page actually shows by default, the discount is 20% on Pro and 33% on Expert and Business — so the honest reading of that badge is “up to 50%, and 20% where you are standing”.

What a credit buys, in the vendor’s own numbers

The rate card is the strongest part of Zeemo’s documentation, because it is published and machine-readable. The subscription endpoint behind the pricing page returns these values directly:

Job	Credits	What it means on Pro’s 3,600
Caption video, per minute	2	1,800 minutes — 30 hours
Caption video with AI boost, per minute	2	halved again if you use it
AI faceless video, basic model, per minute	8	450 minutes
AI faceless video, advanced model, per minute	100	36 minutes
AI film, per minute	200	18 minutes

The five fields the endpoint returns are captionUnitMinCreditsNeedPay (2), captionAiBoostCreditPerMin (2), basicAiVideoUnitMinNeedPay (8), advancedAiVideoUnitMinNeedPay (100) and aiFilmUnitMinCreditsNeedPay (200), plus per-image and per-regeneration prices (15 credits to regenerate a video).

Start with the caption row, because it is the number a captioning customer plans around. The Pro card advertises its 3,600 credits as ”≈ 1,800 image generations · ≈ 900 video generations · ≈ 60h caption video”, and at 2 credits a minute 3,600 credits are 1,800 minutes — 30 hours. What makes this precise rather than merely wrong is that the other two equivalences divide cleanly: 3,600 ÷ 1,800 images is 2 credits an image, and 3,600 ÷ 900 videos is 4 credits a generation, because the site’s own locale strings define the video unit as “30 seconds AI Faceless Video = [credits]” and 30 seconds at the API’s 8 credits per minute is exactly 4. Two of the three numbers reconcile with the rate card. Only the caption figure implies a rate the vendor does not charge.

Plan, paid yearly	Price	Advertised	Actual at 2 credits/min	Cost per hour
Pro	$95.99	60 hours	30 hours	$3.20
Expert	$160.72	120 hours	60 hours	$2.68

$0.053 a minute on Pro is still an excellent price for captioned video — it is the reason this review’s rating is not lower. It is simply half as good as the card claims, and the correction is easy, because the rate is published one page away. The current plan pricing is on the Zeemo site, and the rate card is in the pricing FAQ underneath it.

Then read the right-hand column, because the studio is a separate purchase. The advanced video rate of 100 credits a minute means the entire Pro year buys 36 minutes of advanced video, and an AI film at 200 credits a minute buys 18 minutes. On the $8/month annual plan, 18 minutes of AI film costs $95.99 — about $5.33 a minute, which is not obviously wrong for generative video and is completely invisible on the pricing card. The captioning is the cheap thing here; the studio is a different purchase wearing the same subscription. There is a second, smaller disagreement in the same pair of documents: the FAQ says one minute of basic AI faceless video costs about 10 credits and the API returns 8, so the FAQ is 25% high on that one too.

What it does well

Captions in 95 languages is a lot of coverage for this price, and it is countable. The FAQ’s own language list contains exactly 95 entries, matching the 95 the pricing page advertises — the one headline number on the site that holds up under counting. For anyone captioning in a language other than English, that is what the money actually buys: captions, an SRT or ASS export, and a file that drops straight into another editor. Animated templates, custom fonts, one-click resizing to 9:16 / 1:1 / 16:9 / 4:5, emoji, GIFs and stickers come with it, all in a browser app with nothing to install.

The rate card is published precisely enough to budget against. All five rate fields come back from the subscription endpoint behind the pricing page, so you can price your own month before you choose a tier instead of reverse-engineering the marketing figures. The hardest question with any credit-based tool is what a credit is worth; here it is answerable.

The entry price is low and so is the cost of finding out. The free tier needs no card and its 120 credits cover 60 minutes of captioned video; Pro is $8 a month billed yearly; and the vendor’s own price data carries a $1.99 seven-day plan with 100 credits — 50 minutes of captioned video, a much better test than the free tier’s one-minute upload limit. Coupon PAN takes a further 10% off the first payment.

Captioning speed is documented rather than promised. The FAQ states that a video within an hour generally takes 5-10 minutes, and that recognition continues on the server if you close the tab — more useful to anyone processing a backlog than a bare claim of speed.

The accuracy claim is scoped honestly rather than universally. About 98% for good-quality English and Chinese speech, with the FAQ itself adding in the same paragraph that accents, dialects, background music and noise all reduce it. That is one of the few places on the site where a claim is bounded by something checkable, and it turns “try one of your own files first” into an obvious move.

Credits are shared across the whole studio rather than siloed per feature. A captioning customer who never touches the video generator is not paying for an allowance they cannot use, and a customer who does want generation gets the same credits spent on named frontier models (Seedance 2.5, Kling 3.0, Veo 3.1, MiniMax H3, GPT Image 2, Nano Banana) rather than a generic “AI” bullet.

There is a real install base behind it. The iOS listing carries 4.70 from 1,479 ratings under the seller Bluepulse INC., version 7.1.5 released 23 September 2026 and first released in May 2022 — a materially larger independent sample than most tools on this site have, and the hardest third-party evidence this product has.

Paying yearly is a price cut, not a capacity bonus

One division settles it. Every monthly allowance times twelve is exactly the annual allowance:

Plan	Monthly credits	Yearly credits	12 × monthly
Pro	300	3,600	3,600
Expert	600	7,200	7,200
Business	600	7,200	7,200

So there is no annual bonus credit on any tier. The yearly price is a price cut and nothing else. On Pro you save $23.89 over twelve monthly payments; on Expert you save $79.16. That is a clean deal, and it is the opposite of the pattern where an annual plan quietly shrinks the allowance. It does mean the only question about paying yearly is whether the discount is worth locking in a year against terms that reserve the right to change the price.

Business is the other sum worth doing before you upgrade. Across every tier — 600, 1,200, 2,400, 4,800, 9,600 a month and 7,200 through 115,200 a year — Business and Expert receive identical credits. At the entry tier Business costs $2.68 a month more. What that buys is 2 included seats, extra seats at $5, shared credits, shared projects, team assets and 10 devices. It buys no additional captions at all, which makes Business a team purchase rather than a capacity purchase.

Two things to get in writing before you pay

The refund policy is published in three versions and no two agree.

Source	Condition
Pricing FAQ (English)	within 48 hrs and “have not used any credits”
Pricing FAQ (Chinese, from the site’s own bundle)	within 48 hrs and “尚未使用任何转录时间” — has not used any transcription time
Terms of Service	“Fees are in the currencies as listed and are non-refundable”

The English and Chinese versions of the same answer are not translations of each other: they were equivalent when the product only captioned video, and they are different, narrower tests now that the same credits also buy images, video and music. Whichever one support applies, the contract has a third answer. Ask support which applies to your account before you order, and keep the reply in writing — that is the only way the three versions collapse into one.

The contract predates the product it governs. The Terms of Service are dated 2 March 2022 and define the service as “the AI video caption and subtitling application”. They contain no mention of credits, no mention of subscription tiers, and — the part that matters most to anyone generating video or images — no clause assigning the user ownership of AI output:

”… a non-exclusive, limited, non-transferable, non-sub licensable, revocable license to access and use the Services … solely for your personal and non-commercial use”.

Against that, the conduct rules prohibit using the service “to advertise or perform any commercial solicitation”, and the machine-learning clause lets the vendor use usage data and user content for “testing, tuning, optimizing, validating, or otherwise enhancing the analytics, models, or algorithms underlying the Service” with no opt-out described. For a studio that generates video, images and music, those three clauses decide whether you can put the output in a client deliverable. Two more numbers are worth knowing without being worth a section: the liability cap is $50, less than a year of Pro, and disputes are referred to the Shanghai International Arbitration Centre (SHIAC) in Chinese — users are usually still served by the courts of their own country, but this is the clause that slows a legal review down.

The company’s own name is not consistent across its own pages. The Terms name Bluepulse Limited; every page footer reads “(c) Bluepulse Inc. All rights reserved.”; Apple’s App Store listing names the seller Bluepulse INC.; and Trustpilot records the company in Anguilla, under the category “Gaming service Provider”. None of that is a scam indicator, and all of it is the sort of detail that stalls a procurement review.

Three claims on the site do not survive counting, and two of them are ones a buyer can check. The pricing page advertises captions in 95 languages, and the FAQ’s own enumerated list contains exactly 95 entries — that one is honest. The translation claim is 124 languages on the pricing page and again on the affiliate page, against 111 entries in the FAQ’s own list. And the user count is 200,000 creators and businesses on the About page — with “50,000+ 5-star reviews” — against home page copy reading “Trusted by 5 million users”, a factor of 25 between two pages of the same website.

Public record

The independent record is thin in both directions, and the honest presentation is both numbers.

App Store: 4.70 from 1,479 ratings, sold by Bluepulse INC., version 7.1.5 released 23 September 2026, first released in May 2022. That is a real install base and it rates the product well. The most recent review at the time of checking, however, was a one-star complaint about the pivot rather than the captioning: the reviewer’s charge is that the in-app YouTube downloader was removed, that the listing still advertises video downloading, and that the app now only accepts TikTok links.

Trustpilot: 3.0 from 5 reviews, on an unclaimed profile, with 40% one-star and “No history of asking for reviews”. Five reviews is not a sample, and the platform’s own note says reviews may not be representative. It is reported because it exists, not because it settles anything. Read together, the two figures say the same thing the rest of this review does: satisfaction here depends heavily on how you use it, and the larger sample — 1,479 ratings on the App Store — is the positive one.

The alternatives, stated honestly

None of the tools below had their prices or plan structures verified for this review, so treat them as directions to check rather than findings:

Submagic, OpusClip and Klap occupy the same short-form captioning space with a different pitch: captioning plus clipping, aimed at Reels and Shorts rather than at long-form transcription and translation. On Trustpilot the three sit at 4.5 from 843 reviews, 4.0 from 499 and 3.6 from 46 respectively, which is a meaningfully larger independent sample than Zeemo’s five — worth reading before deciding that Zeemo’s price is the deciding factor.

Rev and similar human-plus-AI captioning services are the comparison the vendor itself makes, and the vendor’s own comparison page claims Zeemo works out at $0.032 a minute against Rev’s $0.25. That is a vendor claim and its arithmetic does not reconcile with the FAQ’s 2 credits a minute — at Pro’s annual price the honest figure is $0.053 a minute — but the order of magnitude holds, and per-minute captioning services are a genuinely more expensive product.

SJinn sells generation by the credit across Seedance, Sora 2, Veo 3 and Kling with per-second model pricing published, and no captioning at all — the right comparison if the studio is what you want rather than the captions. AI Studios is the script-to-digital-human factory in the same category, and its per-minute dubbing economics run the other way. Panda Video is the opposite trade from Zeemo: a real hosting platform where the AI is a second meter and the copyright is Brazilian.

If you need cheap captions in many languages, Zeemo’s $8 a month is a fair answer and the free tier with no card is a fair way to test it. Read how to pick a SaaS tool to review alongside this one: unit price against monthly fee, whether the annual discount is real, and what the free tier can actually do are the three questions that decided this review too.

How it scores

Features is a 4.5. The captioning surface is broad and specific — 95 caption languages with a list that actually contains 95 entries, translated captions, dynamic caption templates, custom fonts, SRT and ASS export, a browser editor with trimming, one-click resizing to 9:16 / 1:1 / 16:9 / 4:5, emoji, GIFs and stickers — and around it sits a real AI studio with named frontier models rather than a generic “AI” bullet. It loses half a point because the studio’s rate card makes the good models effectively out of reach on the cheaper plans, and because the advertised unit (a credit) means something different for each feature.

Ease of use is a 4.5. It is a browser app with no install, the plan hierarchy is easy to read, the mobile apps exist and rate well, recognition continues server-side if you close the tab, and the workflow from upload to SRT export is short. What keeps it off a 5 is not the interface but the arithmetic a buyer has to do to use it well: the credit is defined differently per feature, and two of the three headline equivalences divide where the third does not.

Value is a 4. $8 a month for 30 hours of captioned video works out at about $0.053 a minute, which is cheap by any standard in this category, the free tier is usable without a card, and there is a $1.99 seven-day plan for testing. It is not a 5 because the headline equivalence that sells the plan is double the truth, because Business charges more for identical credits, and because the tier that removes crediting from your thinking costs twice what Pro does.

Support is a 3.5. The evidence runs both ways. In Zeemo’s favour there is a real published rate card, a working support address, a documented cancellation route, and 1,479 App Store ratings at 4.70 — a real install base and real product satisfaction. Against it: the refund policy is stated three incompatible ways, the Terms never caught up with the product they govern, liability is capped at $50, disputes run through Shanghai arbitration in Chinese, and the independent Trustpilot sample holds only 5 reviews. The issue is friction between the paperwork and the buyer rather than an unattended product, which is why this loses a point and a half rather than more — but it still means anyone building a client deliverable on Zeemo should get those two positions in writing first.

The four scores average 4.125, which is why the overall rating is 4.1. That number describes the offer as published — the price, the credit arithmetic and the contract — and says nothing about how the captions read, which this review did not test.

Common questions

Is Zeemo free?

There is a real free tier with no credit card: 120 credits a year, which is 60 minutes of captioned video at the vendor’s own rate. The practical limit is not the credits but the upload cap — 1 minute and 200 MB per video, 720P export, 3-day storage and a watermark. The vendor’s own price data also carries a $1.99 seven-day plan with 100 credits, which is a better test.

How many hours of captioned video does Pro actually give me?

30, not 60. The card advertises “approx 60h caption video” for 3,600 credits, which implies 1 credit a minute. The pricing FAQ on the same page says 1 minute of captioned video costs about 2 credits, and the vendor’s subscription API returns captionUnitMinCreditsNeedPay: 2. At 2 credits a minute, 3,600 credits is 1,800 minutes — about $0.053 a minute, or $3.20 an hour.

What does one credit buy?

It depends entirely on the feature, and the vendor publishes the rates: 2 credits per minute of captioned video, 8 per minute of basic AI faceless video, 100 per minute of advanced AI video, 200 per minute of AI film, 2 credits per image (the card’s 3,600 ÷ 1,800), and 15 credits to regenerate a video. There is no single value for a credit, which is exactly why the headline equivalences are worth checking rather than trusting.

What is the refund policy?

Three answers exist. The pricing FAQ says a refund is available if you subscribed on the website within 48 hours and have not used any credits. The Chinese version of the same answer says unused transcription time instead. The Terms of Service say fees are non-refundable. Ask support which applies to your account in writing before you pay, and note that the contract caps the vendor’s liability at $50.

Can I use what Zeemo generates commercially?

The Terms of Service do not say you can. They date from March 2022, describe only a captioning application, contain no clause assigning you ownership of AI output, and grant a licence “solely for your personal and non-commercial use” while prohibiting commercial solicitation. If you need clean commercial rights — for a client deliverable, for example — get that in writing before you rely on it.

Bottom line

Zeemo is a good captioning product: 95 languages, SRT and ASS export, an editor with one-click reframing, a published rate card, and $8 a month for 30 hours of captioned video at $0.053 a minute — the cheapest per-minute captioning on this site. Its imperfections are all about the paperwork and the contract, and the two that matter can both be settled with one email before you pay.

Buy it for the captions, price it by the minute — $0.053 a minute on Pro, $2.68 an hour on Expert — ignore the annual credit “bonus” because there is not one, and do not upgrade to Business expecting more capacity, because there is none. Do not buy it as an AI video subscription without pricing the credits first: 100 credits a minute for advanced video means Pro’s whole year is 36 minutes.

Test it before you commit: the free tier needs no card, and the $1.99 seven-day plan (100 credits, 50 minutes of captioned video) is a better first run than a month or a year. And before you pay, get two things in writing: the refund condition that applies to you, and the intellectual-property position on generated output. Plan pricing and the rate card are on the Zeemo site; check the rate card against whatever tier you are about to buy.
