How much does Dubbing cost?

Dubbing is charged per minute of source media, for each language you dub into. The exact rate depends on the dubbing model you’re using — see the pricing page for details. In the app, the total cost is shown for you to confirm before a dub starts.

A dubbing project created with the Dubbing API has a minimum charge of one language. Creating a project charges you for one language’s dub up front, based on the duration of the source, and that charge prepays your first language target:

  • The charge is applied when you create the project, while its source is being prepared — not when you add the first language.
  • The first language you add (or the one you queue with target_language when creating the project) uses this prepaid charge rather than adding to it.
  • Each additional language you add is charged separately when you queue it.
  • If a project fails to prepare — for example, its source cannot be transcribed — the creation charge is refunded.
  • If an additional language fails to generate, its charge is refunded.
  • The first language is prepaid by the project’s creation charge. If it fails to generate, the creation charge is not refunded, but the prepayment is not lost: it stays available, so retrying that language on the same project incurs no additional charge.
  • Deleting a project or language does not refund a dub that is already running.
