A web-based subtitle tool for translating, styling, and exporting video captions.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
SubtitleBee is a browser-based tool for generating, editing, translating, and styling subtitles and captions. It suits creators, educators, marketers, and businesses that need multilingual text on videos or downloadable subtitle files. The product runs in the cloud, and its published features center on subtitles rather than dubbed video, making it a more natural fit for text-led localization than for teams seeking translated voice tracks.
SubtitleBee has a free plan with AI subtitles, audio transcription, text overlay captions, and video translation. The Starter plan costs $19 per month with monthly billing or $16.60 per month when billed annually; it includes 120+ languages, 240 minutes per month, watermark-free exports, and a custom logo. Starter also supports 20 minutes per video. Premium costs $49 monthly or $43 per month billed annually, and includes 1,050 minutes per month, 10 translations per video, 20 overlay captions, and 30 font styles. Business costs $129 monthly or $113 per month billed annually, with 3,600 minutes, 15 translations per video, a full brand kit, and premium support. A Custom plan offers custom usage and duration. Annual prices are displayed as monthly equivalents with annual totals.
The subtitle workflow includes synchronized AI-generated captions, translation, and controls for font, color, size, style, opacity, and position. Users can export videos with burned-in subtitles or download SRT, ASS, VTT, and TXT files; text overlays, logo overlays, cropping, and resizing extend the editing options. This breadth is useful when the goal is to prepare captioned versions for different channels, but the feature set described is not aimed at dubbing. Choose SubtitleBee if translated, styled subtitles are the main need; consider another product if translated spoken audio is central to the workflow.
