AI Video Dubbing & Translation Tools Compared (2026)

Rask AI, Dubverse, VEED and Maestra all promise to turn one video into many languages. They bill for it in completely different units — minutes, credits, editor seats and per-module allowances — so this guide converts everything into the only unit that matters: the cost of one finished dubbed minute.

Last updated: November 2026 · Prices in USD, checked against vendor pricing pages in November 2026 · How we compare: this guide is based on publicly available vendor information, not hands-on testing. We have not dubbed test videos with these tools, so we make no claims about how natural any voice sounds — only about published prices, limits and features. There are no paid placements.

Trade-off to knowPrices changed during 2026 (older reviews cite higher prices) and lip-sync triples minute consumption50 credits = only 12.5 dubbed minutes; the price of extra credits is not publishedPlan names and prices are in transition, and VEED's own pages cite different language counts for different featuresYou pay per module — using transcription, subtitles and voiceover together can mean three allowances to manage

Prices are USD, before tax, as published by the vendors in November 2026. Dubbing allowances are consumed per target language: a 10-minute video dubbed into 5 languages uses 50 minutes (or the credit equivalent) everywhere in this table. Plans change — always confirm the current price, allowance and per-minute rules on the vendor's site before you buy.

What a real job costs: one 10-minute video, dubbed into 5 languages

Monthly sticker prices hide the real comparison, because the allowances are not the same size. Here is the same job — 50 finished dubbed minutes — priced from each vendor's published rates (November 2026). This is arithmetic on public pricing, not a quality test.

PlanHow the math worksEffective cost per dubbed minute
Rask AI Creator Pro (annual)$799/year buys 1,200 minutes/year. The 50-minute job fits easily — unless you add lip-sync, which consumes 150 minutes of allowance for the same job.≈ $0.67/min (≈ $2.00/min with lip-sync)
Rask AI Creator (annual)$329/year buys 300 minutes/year; the job uses one sixth of the year. Extra minutes beyond the allowance cost $3 each on higher plans.≈ $1.10/min
Dubverse Pro (monthly)50 credits ÷ 4 credits per dubbed minute = 12.5 minutes included. The 50-minute job needs 200 credits — four months of allowance, or top-up credits whose price Dubverse does not publish.≈ $1.44/min inside the allowance
Dubverse Supreme (monthly)$30/mo includes the same 50 credits as Pro. You are paying for GPT-4 translation and voice cloning, not for more minutes.≈ $2.40/min inside the allowance
VEED Pro (annual)Pro includes roughly 6 hours/year of voice translation on annual billing, so the job fits — but the price is per editor seat and also buys the full editor.≈ $0.63/min inside the allowance
Maestra Voiceover Premium (annual)$79/mo includes 300 min/month of voiceover into another language, or 100 min/month with pro voices and cloning. Lip-sync is a separate $2/min add-on on the Business tier.≈ $0.26/min (stock voices) · ≈ $0.79/min (cloning allowance)

Takeaways: the cheapest monthly sticker (Dubverse) carries the smallest dubbing allowance; the most confusing pricing (Maestra's modules) produces the lowest in-allowance per-minute cost; and lip-sync — not the base dub — is where budgets multiply. If your videos are talking-head footage, price the lip-sync rule of your shortlisted tool before anything else.

The four tools in detail

Rask AI — the localization specialist

Rask AI does one job: it takes an existing video, transcribes it, translates it and re-voices it, with voice cloning, a line-by-line translation editor, subtitles and an API around that workflow. It publishes dubbing in 135+ languages, with voice cloning available in a smaller subset of those languages. Pricing is in plain minutes, which makes it the easiest of the four to budget: Creator is $39/mo billed monthly or $28/mo billed annually for 25 minutes a month (300/year on annual billing); Creator Pro is $99/mo or $67/mo billed annually for 100 minutes a month and adds lip-sync and team workspace features; Business is $249/mo or $167/mo billed annually for 250 minutes a month, batch multi-video × multi-language work, a shared brand glossary and reviewer roles. One catch defines the product: lip-sync consumes three minutes of allowance per finished minute, and extra minutes cost $3 each. On consent, Rask's public pages state that dubbing works from footage you own and voices you have permission to use, with rights-cleared synthetic voices as the alternative when consent is unavailable; the company also publishes SOC 2 Type II and GDPR compliance.

STRENGTHS (per published specs)

  • Minute-based pricing you can budget without a credit decoder
  • Widest published dubbing language coverage of the four (135+)
  • Multi-speaker handling, translation editor, glossary and API for catalog-scale work

TRADE-OFFS

  • Lip-sync triples minute consumption, so face-to-camera libraries get expensive fast
  • No permanent free tier — a 3-minute one-time trial is all you get before paying
  • Prices moved during 2026; older reviews still cite the previous, higher prices
See Rask AI plans

Dubverse — the low-cost entry point, with credit math attached

Dubverse bundles dubbing (DUB), subtitling (SUB) and AI voice generation (SAY) into one credit pool, covering 60+ languages, with an Advanced Studio for editing transcripts and re-doing segments. Pro is $18/mo billed monthly or $9/mo billed annually; Supreme is $30/mo or $15/mo billed annually. The number to understand before buying is the exchange rate: dubbing costs 4 credits per minute, so the 50 credits included in both plans buy 12.5 minutes of dubbing (or 50 minutes of subtitling, or 25 minutes of AI voice). Supreme does not add credits — it unlocks GPT-4 translations, voice cloning and longer videos (up to 150 minutes, versus 60 on Pro). Lip-sync and multi-speaker support sit in the custom-priced Enterprise tier. A 2-day free trial needs no credit card. Dubverse's public pages do not publish the price of additional credits, and they do not detail a voice-cloning consent-verification flow — as everywhere, only clone a voice you own or have written permission to use.

STRENGTHS (per published specs)

  • Lowest starting price of the four, with a no-card 2-day trial
  • One credit pool covers dubbing, subtitles and voice generation
  • Transcript customizer and segment-level redo for fixing individual lines

TRADE-OFFS

  • 50 credits sounds like 50 minutes; for dubbing it is 12.5 — the easiest budgeting mistake in this comparison
  • Top-up credit pricing is not published, so the cost of a large job cannot be fully priced upfront
  • Voice cloning needs Supreme; lip-sync and multi-speaker support need Enterprise
See Dubverse plans

VEED — the editor that also dubs

VEED starts from the opposite end: it is a full browser-based video editor — subtitles, trimming, brand kits, recording, AI avatars — and dubbing is one feature inside it. Per its published tool pages, AI dubbing covers 29 target languages and keeps the speaker's voice, with optional lip-sync in beta, while subtitle translation covers 50+ languages. Two structural details matter. First, the published dubbing workflow uses one voice for every speaker, which suits single-presenter videos better than panel discussions. Second, pricing is per editor seat: Pro is $45/seat/mo billed monthly or about $19/seat/mo billed annually, and volume dubbing starts at Pro, which includes roughly 30 minutes a month of voice translation (about 6 hours a year on annual billing); translation minutes are consumed per target language and do not roll over. VEED's plan lineup has been renamed and repriced during 2026, and its own pages cite different language counts for different features — check the pricing page and the translator tool page, not a review, before you commit.

STRENGTHS (per published specs)

  • Editing, subtitles and dubbing in one subscription — no separate editor to pay for
  • Free plan lets you evaluate the editor before paying anything
  • Strong subtitle tooling (styles, SRT/VTT export on higher tiers) alongside the dubbing

TRADE-OFFS

  • Per-seat pricing multiplies for teams, and the dubbing allowance is modest next to dedicated tools
  • Single-voice dubbing is a poor fit for interviews and multi-speaker content
  • Plan names, prices and language counts differ across VEED's own pages right now — verify at checkout

Maestra — the subtitle-first platform with cheap dubbed minutes

Maestra grew out of transcription, and it shows in the shape of the product: automatic transcription, a subtitle editor, voiceover/dubbing, and real-time captioning for live events, across 125+ languages. The pricing is the part to read slowly. Maestra sells separate modules — transcription, subtitles, voiceover and real-time — each with its own plan ladder (Lite $23/mo, Basic $39/mo, Premium $79/mo, billed annually) and its own minute allowance. On the voiceover module, Basic includes 120 minutes a month of voiceover into another language; Premium includes 300 minutes a month, or 100 minutes a month using pro voices and voice cloning; lip-sync is unlocked on the Business tier as a $2-per-minute add-on. Pay-as-you-go credits ($12 for 60, non-expiring) suit one-off jobs — note that 60 credits buy 60 minutes of transcription but only 30 minutes of subtitles translated into another language. Done inside the allowances, Maestra's per-minute dubbing cost is the lowest in this comparison; the price of that is managing which module each minute came from.

STRENGTHS (per published specs)

  • Lowest in-allowance cost per dubbed minute of the four, and non-expiring pay-as-you-go credits
  • Subtitle and transcript editing depth that dubbing-first tools do not match
  • Real-time captioning and translation for live events, which none of the other three headline

TRADE-OFFS

  • Module-based pricing is genuinely confusing: four ladders, four allowances, and prices shown assume annual billing
  • Voice cloning needs the Premium voiceover plan; lip-sync needs Business plus $2/min
  • If you only ever dub (never transcribe or caption), you are navigating a platform built for a wider job

How to choose in four steps

STEP 1

Count finished minutes, not videos

Your real volume is video length × number of target languages. A modest 10-minute video in 5 languages is a 50-minute job. Write that number down before you look at any plan — every allowance in this guide is consumed that way.

STEP 2

Decide whether you need lip-sync

Talking-head and on-camera presenter videos are where lip-sync matters, and it is the biggest price multiplier here: 3× minute consumption on Rask, a $2/min add-on on Maestra, Enterprise-only on Dubverse, beta on VEED. Screen recordings and voice-over-led videos usually do not need it.

STEP 3

Convert credits before you compare prices

Dubverse credits are not minutes (dubbing is 4 credits/min) and Maestra credits buy different amounts of different jobs. Divide the plan price by the dubbed minutes the allowance actually buys — that is the only honest comparison, and it is the table in the "real job" section above.

STEP 4

Sort out voice rights before the trial

Only clone your own voice, or a voice whose owner has agreed in writing to the languages and channels you will publish in. If consent is unclear, use a stock AI voice instead. Then run one real video — ideally your hardest one, with multiple speakers if you have them — through the trial of your shortlisted tool.

FAQ

How much does AI video dubbing cost per minute?

On published November 2026 pricing, the in-allowance cost ranges from roughly $0.26/min (Maestra voiceover with stock voices, inside its Premium allowance) to about $1.56/min (Rask AI Creator on monthly billing). Lip-sync and overage change the picture: Rask charges $3 per extra minute and consumes 3× allowance for lip-sync, and Maestra charges $2/min for lip-sync on its Business tier. The full worked example is in the "real job" section above.

Can I dub a YouTube video into other languages with these tools?

Yes — that is the core use case for all four. You upload or import the video, pick target languages, review the translated script in an editor, and export a dubbed version (with subtitles) to publish as a separate video or, where your channel setup supports it, alongside the original. Check each platform's current publishing rules for AI-generated audio disclosure, and note that music licensed for the original may not cover versions released into new markets.

Is it legal to clone someone's voice for a dub?

Only with that person's permission. Cloning your own voice is the normal creator workflow; cloning a presenter, instructor or actor requires their agreement — ideally in writing, covering the languages and channels involved. Rask AI's public pages state this "consent first" position explicitly; the other vendors' public pages we checked do not detail a verification flow, which does not reduce your responsibility. When consent is unavailable, use a stock AI voice. This guide does not encourage cloning any voice without consent, and neither should a tool choice.

Do I need lip-sync, or is audio-only dubbing enough?

It depends on how much of the video is a face speaking to camera. For screen recordings, tutorials with voice-over, and B-roll-led content, an audio dub plus translated subtitles is usually the published workflow these tools are priced around. For presenter-led courses and talking-head channels, lip-sync is the feature that makes the dub feel native — and, per the pricing above, the feature that multiplies cost, so test it on one video before committing a catalog to it.

Which tool handles videos with several speakers?

On published specs: Rask AI markets multi-speaker detection with per-speaker voices on its Pro tiers; Dubverse lists multi-speaker support as an Enterprise feature; VEED's published dubbing workflow uses a single voice for all speakers; Maestra identifies speakers in transcription, and you should confirm how that carries into voiceover for your content type. If interviews and panels are your main format, this spec matters more than language count.

Why are there no quality scores or "best-sounding voice" verdicts here?

Because this guide is compiled from the vendors' published specifications and pricing, not from hands-on testing — we do not rate dubbing or translation quality we have not evaluated. Where a judgment appears (for example, that a credit system is easy to misread), it is arithmetic or a published limit, shown next to it so you can judge for yourself. Use each vendor's free trial with one of your own videos before you pay.
