How the Pro trial works
Every Pro feature is free to try. Only Pro is ever on trial: the app itself is free and never expires.
- Starts at your first transcription or saved project, not at install
- Runs 14 days or your first three projects, whichever ends later
- Ends mid-project? Extend it once, no questions asked
- Includes cloud translation and transcription on shorter videos
- When it ends, nothing locks: projects, edits and every text export keep working. Pro covers new Pro output only
Pricing FAQ
Does the free version expire or add a watermark?
No and no. The free app is not a trial and never expires. Exports carry no watermark, on either plan.
Do Pro features run in the cloud?
Almost all Pro features run on your machine. Two optional features are cloud-powered, and both are clearly labeled and always your choice: cloud translation sends subtitle text, and cloud transcription sends your video's audio track, never the video itself, which stays on your machine. The local engines always remain available.
How do I cancel, and what happens then?
Email support@overcaption.com from the address you bought with and it's done, no questions, no retention flow. You keep everything you made, the free app keeps working as always, and Pro features stay active until the end of the period you paid for, plus a generous offline grace window.
Do I need an account?
No account. Pro activates with a license key from your purchase email, checked on your machine.
Can I use one license on two computers?
Yes, a personal license covers up to three of your machines.
