A third option: Siteglade
Neither OpusClip nor Captions lists mobile apps, desktop apps, browser games and presentations on its pricing page. Siteglade does. Mobile apps for iPhone and Android are built with Expo, previewed in a phone frame and opened on your own phone by QR code, on every plan including Free.
Where Captions edits the talking videos you record, Siteglade writes and produces the video from a brief and adds the website, deck or app around it; it does not make AI avatars. Every task runs in a sandbox on servers in the EU, and code can be exported on every plan.
