Subtitles.app review
Transcribe, translate, and export subtitles with free use or pay-as-you-go Pro processing.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Subtitles.app is a web-based transcription and subtitle tool for creators, students, journalists, businesses, and casual users. It accepts audio and video uploads, creates timed transcripts and subtitle files, translates content into up to 120 languages, and can export a subtitled video. Its combination of free access and hourly Pro processing suits occasional workloads, while batch transcription and API access also serve teams handling repeated captioning tasks. The service runs in the cloud and is available through the web and API.
The free and paid options make the cost structure straightforward. Free Use supports files up to 30 minutes with standard accuracy and limited daily usage; it also permits one watermarked video clip of up to 5 minutes. Pro costs $0.99 per hour and adds highest accuracy, no duration limit, support for files up to 10 GB, speaker identification, a subtitle editor, and API access. Because Pro is usage-based rather than a monthly subscription, it can fit sporadic longer jobs without a recurring plan. Frequent processing may make hourly billing less suitable than a fixed subscription would be.
Exports and transcript tools are a notable part of the offering: users can download timed SRT, VTT, and TXT files, with ASS downloads available on paid processing, or burn subtitles into video. Subtitle appearance is visually adjustable. Speaker identification includes suggested names, and searchable transcripts can be filtered by speaker; DeepL is also listed as an integration. Email, chat, community, and documentation are support channels. Subtitles.app is a fit for people who need multilingual exports or occasional caption work, especially when hourly pricing matches their workload. Those needing regular high-volume processing on a predictable monthly bill, or unwatermarked clips under the free plan, should look elsewhere.
