Captions rebrands Scale plan to Frontier, pricing untouched
What happened
Between the Sep 21, 2026 and Sep 22, 2026 captures of Captions' pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: The 'Scale' plan (and its Scale 2x / Scale 4x usage tiers) was renamed to 'Frontier' across the pricing card, comparison table header, and every feature-comparison row. Prices, credits, and features are unchanged. Pulse files it as a packaging change (plan renamed). Pulse's latest capture (Nov 15, 2026) lists Max at $24.99 and Frontier at $69.99.
It lands 26 days after Captions' previous change, "Captions Max plan adds one-click clip batching from long videos" (Aug 26, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Captions: 'Clips' feature added to comparison table" (Aug 23, 2026). Captions has been tracked since 2025-10-05.
In the same window Kapwing, Veed, Descript and Adobe also changed their AI & Machine Learning pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
