On Free you can try the paid options in the preview. A bar then says "This Short uses N Starter features". Select Make it free, without it (or without them) to export on Free.
Can I keep the same caption style for a channel?
Yes. Save the channel's look and new Shorts from it start with your caption style. See saving a look.
