For binge-watchers who just want clean subtitles, fast.
≈ 2 full subtitle files every day — far more than most tools at this price
For power users and developers who want the full toolkit.
+ 2,000 downloads/day and 60 AI translations/month included
Not a developer? SubDL Plus is all you need. Choose SubDL Pro only if you want API access — it already includes everything in Plus.
Most subtitle and video tools price around transcription minutes, creator seats, storage, or production features. SubDL is cheaper because it starts where subtitle users already are: find the subtitle, translate it, download it, keep moving.
$3
Small enough for regular subtitle users, not just creators and teams.
60
Included in both plans. Use them on real subtitle files for movies, episodes, and packs.
$5
Everything in Plus plus the full developer API for plugins, bots, and automation.
30,000
Account-wide capacity for integrations, with 2,000 daily downloads through the API too.
Public list prices change, but the pattern is clear: video transcription and creator platforms often start around many times the price of SubDL. SubDL keeps the plans cheap by focusing on subtitle translation, downloads, and API access.

VEED API pricingFrom $0.10/min
API for video subtitle rendering, with higher rates for dynamic styles and 4K.
Useful for video production. SubDL focuses on subtitle translation and downloads.
For plugins, bots, apps, and private tools that need managed keys, 30,000 daily API requests, better matching, autocomplete, search, and subtitle downloads through the API. Because SubDL Pro includes everything in Plus, you also get the 60 monthly AI translations and can start async subtitle translation jobs, poll status, and download the result when ready. Bazarr users can connect their key once and have missing languages AI-translated without ever leaving Bazarr.
TV plugins can show a request ID, progress, and status while SubDL translates the subtitle in the background.

Pull subtitle files through the API without squeezing serious usage through a free limit.
Use best-match-for-release ranking to pick the subtitle that fits the file users actually have.
Power title lookup, search boxes, and app flows with SubDL discovery endpoints.

Add your API key to Bazarr's SubDL provider and enable AI-translate: missing languages arrive as translated subtitles through Bazarr's normal search, usually in under a minute.
