Why is it free?
Because we want everyone to get great subtitles, not just people who pay. We built the editor to do the heavy work right in your browser and send only the audio to the latest AI speech recognition, which keeps our cost per video tiny. So short videos are free for good, and Pro is there when you need longer videos and extra styles. No ads, no watermark, no trial that runs out.
