Captions: mid-tier plan renamed from Scale to Frontier
What happened
Between the Sep 21, 2026 and Sep 28, 2026 captures of Captions' pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Mid-tier plan (Scale / Scale 2x / Scale 4x) renamed to Frontier / Frontier 2x / Frontier 4x; pricing unchanged at $69.99/$139.99/$279.99 per month. In detail: Mid-tier plan renamed from 'Scale' (and 'Scale 2x'/'Scale 4x') to 'Frontier' ('Frontier 2x'/'Frontier 4x'); pricing unchanged at $69.99/$139.99/$279.99 per month. 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.
This weekly roll-up includes the change Pulse first recorded in a shorter period: "Captions rebrands Scale plan to Frontier, pricing untouched" (Day 265, 2026, saved Sep 22, 2026). It is the same change, not a new one. Before that, Captions' previous recorded change was "Captions Max plan adds one-click clip batching from long videos" (Aug 26, 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.
