AI Dubbing Pricing 2026: Cost Breakdown for Every Major Tool
Perso pricing update: October 22, 2026. Competitor figures below retain their stated reference dates; confirm current terms before purchase.
Perso Dubbing starts at $0.11 per dubbed minute with Finch on PRO monthly: $99/month for 10,800 credits, providing up to 900 minutes when all credits are used for Finch. Actual minutes depend on model choice and other credit use. Optional lip sync has separate usage conditions; the $0.11 rate is for Finch dubbing. Compare the monthly subscription commitment, model, usable minutes, target-language usage, and optional lip sync before choosing a plan.
This guide breaks down exactly what you pay, what the headline price hides, and which tool makes sense for your budget and dubbing volume.
AI Dubbing Pricing Comparison: 7 Tools Side by Side
Perso pricing was updated October 22, 2026. The other rows retain their July 2026 reference date and need confirmation before purchase. The table separates entry subscriptions from Perso’s $0.11/min Finch rate on PRO monthly; the rows do not represent identical model and lip-sync configurations.
Tool | Entry Plan | Monthly Price | Included Minutes | Eff. $/Min | Lip Sync | Dubbing Languages |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Perso Dubbing | Starter | $6.99 | ~7 min | Starter: ~$1.00; PRO Finch: $99 / up to 900 min = $0.11 at full allocation | Optional; separate plan and credit conditions | 99+ |
ElevenLabs | Creator | $22 | ~40 min (shared credits) | ~$0.55 | No (audio only) | 32 |
HeyGen | Creator | $29 | Mode-dependent; verify current translation allowance | Lip sync: ~$0.24 in July 2026 reference; verify current rates | Yes (5 credits/min) | 175+ |
Descript | Business | $50 | Credit-based | ~$1.50-2.00 | Limited | 14 (dubbing) |
VEED.io | Pro | $49 | ~20 min | ~$2.45 | Limited | 125+ |
Rask AI | Creator | $60 | ~25 min | ~$2.40 | No (Creator Pro+) | 130+ |
Synthesia | Enterprise | Custom | Custom | Custom | N/A | 140+ |
Synthesia is primarily an AI avatar platform. One-click video translation is available only on its Enterprise tier with custom pricing. We include it because it appears frequently in AI dubbing searches, but its core use case is avatar-generated video rather than dubbing existing footage.
A low monthly entry price and a low effective per-minute rate answer different questions. Finch on PRO monthly reaches $0.11/min at full allowance use, but the subscription costs $99/month. A creator using fewer minutes pays a higher effective rate. Compare the same output requirements before choosing a plan.
How Much Does AI Dubbing Cost in 2026?
Perso Dubbing starts at $0.11 per dubbed minute with Finch on PRO monthly: $99/month for 10,800 credits, providing up to 900 minutes when all credits are used for Finch. Actual minutes depend on model choice and other credit use. Optional lip sync has separate usage conditions; the $0.11 rate is for Finch dubbing. The same PRO credit pool alternatively provides up to 180 minutes with Linnet 4 or 45 minutes with Nightingale. These allowances are alternatives, not additive.
For context, professional human dubbing is widely reported to cost tens of dollars per finished minute, so even the most expensive AI option here is dramatically cheaper. On Perso AI’s platform, the median completed dubbing project finishes in 4 minutes 23 seconds, and 56.6% of completed projects finish in under 5 minutes (source: Perso AI platform data, 316,856 projects, Jan 2025 to Apr 2026). Speed and per-minute price together, not price alone, decide the true cost of localizing a video library.
How AI Dubbing Pricing Actually Works
Not every “per-minute” price means the same thing. Each platform uses a different billing model, and the differences can make a $22/month plan more expensive than a $99/month plan depending on how you use it.
Credits vs. Minutes
AI dubbing tools use two main billing approaches:
Minute-based and credit-based allowances must be converted using the selected model. Perso PRO includes 10,800 credits: up to 900 Finch minutes, 180 Linnet 4 minutes, or 45 Nightingale minutes when allocated entirely to one model. These are alternatives, not combined allowances.
Credit-based billing. HeyGen, ElevenLabs, and Descript use credits shared across multiple features. HeyGen translation allowances depend on the selected mode; verify the current audio-only allowance before estimating usage. Lip-synced video translation costs 5 credits per minute. Descript’s Business plan ($50/month) includes 1,500 AI credits shared across translation, dubbing, and other AI features. ElevenLabs’ Creator plan ($22/month) provides 121,000 credits shared across text-to-speech and dubbing, with dubbing consuming 3,000 credits per minute for automatic dubbing without watermark.
Target-language usage. Count the dubbed outputs required for every target language and check the provider’s usage rules. Do not assume one source minute purchases unlimited translated outputs.
The Per-Language Multiplier Most Tables Miss
This is the single biggest pricing variable that changes the math for multi-language dubbing.
For a five-minute video in Spanish and French, budget for both dubbed outputs and verify the usage estimate before generation. The $0.11 Finch rate is an effective dubbed-minute rate at full PRO monthly allocation, not a promise of unlimited languages for one charge.
ElevenLabs bills each target language separately. That same 5-minute video dubbed into Spanish and French consumes 10 minutes of your dubbing allowance, not 5. A 10-minute video dubbed into 4 languages costs 40 dubbing minutes.
For a YouTube creator dubbing every upload into 3 languages, this multiplier triples ElevenLabs’ effective per-minute cost from $0.55 to $1.65 on the Creator plan. That changes the value equation completely.
Hidden Costs That Change the Real Price
Lip-Sync Surcharges
Lip sync matches the speaker’s mouth movements to the dubbed audio. It is essential for marketing videos, e-learning, and YouTube content where viewers see the speaker’s face. Most platforms treat it as a premium feature.
Tool | Lip Sync Access | Extra Cost |
|---|---|---|
Perso Dubbing | All plans (Starter+) | Optional; separate plan and credit conditions |
HeyGen | Paid plans | Lip sync: 5 credits/min in July 2026 reference; verify current mode |
Rask AI | Creator Pro ($150/mo+) | Upgrade required + lip sync doubles credit usage |
ElevenLabs | Not available | Audio-only dubbing |
Descript | Business ($50/mo+) | Credit-based, limited |
VEED.io | Pro ($49/mo+) | Limited implementation |
Optional lip sync changes the output and may change credit consumption or require a particular plan. Perso offers lip sync on paid plans subject to separate usage conditions. Its $0.11/min Finch rate describes dubbing only, so verify a lip-synced project’s usage estimate separately.
Overage Rates
Exceeding your plan’s included minutes triggers overage charges that vary widely:
Tool | Overage Rate | Note |
|---|---|---|
Perso Dubbing | Check current additional-credit terms | Separate from the $0.11 effective subscription rate |
ElevenLabs | $0.60/min (Creator) to $0.24/min (Scale) | Per target language |
Rask AI | $3.00/min | Annual plans; highest among major tools |
HeyGen | Credit pack purchase required | No per-minute overage |
Additional usage is priced separately from a subscription’s effective included-minute rate. Do not assume the $0.11 Finch rate applies to overages. Check the current plan and additional-credit terms before budgeting beyond the included allowance.
Export Quality Restrictions
Some plans limit export resolution or add watermarks. HeyGen’s free plan caps exports at 720p. VEED.io’s free plan adds watermarks. ElevenLabs’ watermark-free dubbing costs 50% more credits than the watermarked option. These restrictions don’t change the dubbing cost directly, but they affect whether the output is usable for professional distribution.
Platform-by-Platform Pricing Breakdown
Perso Dubbing
Perso Dubbing supports 99+ dubbing output languages. Perso Dubbing starts at $0.11 per dubbed minute with Finch on PRO monthly: $99/month for 10,800 credits, providing up to 900 minutes when all credits are used for Finch. Actual minutes depend on model choice and other credit use. Optional lip sync has separate usage conditions; the $0.11 rate is for Finch dubbing. The same PRO credit pool alternatively provides up to 180 minutes with Linnet 4 or 45 minutes with Nightingale. These allowances are alternatives, not additive.
Starter: $6.99/month, 420 credits (7 minutes), ~$1.00/min. Optional lip sync is subject to plan and credit conditions.
Creator: $29/month, 2,400 credits (40 minutes), ~$0.73/min. 15-minute video support.
PRO monthly: $99/month, 10,800 credits, up to 900 Finch minutes, $0.11/min at full allocation. Actual minutes depend on model and other credit use. Optional lip sync has separate conditions. Videos up to 30 minutes; 4K export.
The $0.11 Finch rate is an effective PRO monthly subscription rate, not a quoted additional-credit rate. A free plan lets new users test dubbing. See the full Perso Dubbing pricing page for current terms, or learn how to dub a video with AI.
HeyGen
HeyGen prices dubbing in credits shared across its avatar and translation features. Its Creator plan costs $29/month (monthly billing; $24/month on annual) with 600 monthly credits. Video translation consumes 5 credits per minute with lip sync or 2 credits per minute audio-only, so the Creator plan yields about 120 lip-synced dubbed minutes (~$0.24 per minute) if credits are spent only on translation. Check HeyGen’s current audio-only translation allowance separately; the lip-sync estimate does not establish unlimited audio usage.
The caveat: those same credits also power HeyGen’s avatar generation, so heavy avatar users see fewer dubbing minutes. For a feature-level comparison including language coverage and lip sync, see Perso Dubbing vs HeyGen.
ElevenLabs
ElevenLabs is best known for AI voice synthesis. Its Creator plan costs $22/month with 121,000 credits. Automatic dubbing consumes 3,000 credits per minute without a watermark, yielding about 40 dubbed minutes per month (~$0.55 per minute). Its newest Automatic Dubbing v2 line is metered more steeply: the Creator plan includes only 9 v2 minutes, an effective ~$2.44 per minute.
The billing detail that catches teams off guard: ElevenLabs bills every target language separately. A 10-minute video dubbed into Spanish, French, and German counts as 30 minutes of usage, not 10. ElevenLabs also focuses on audio dubbing and does not offer lip-synced video. For a side-by-side on voice quality versus video-native dubbing, see Perso Dubbing vs ElevenLabs.
Rask AI
Rask AI prices dubbing in minutes rather than credits, which makes its per-minute math the most transparent. Its Creator plan costs $60/month for 25 dubbed minutes with lip sync, an effective rate of about $2.40 per minute. Annual billing lowers this to roughly $33/month (~$1.32 per minute).
Volume tiers improve the rate: Creator Pro is $150/month for 100 minutes ($1.50/min) and Business is $750/month for 500 minutes ($1.50/min). One detail affects heavy lip-sync users: Rask AI’s enhanced lip sync counts one video minute as three usage minutes, tripling consumption. See Perso Dubbing vs Rask AI for a volume-based comparison.
Best Value by Use Case
The cheapest tool depends on your dubbing volume, target language count, and lip-sync needs.
Creators testing a small workload: Perso Dubbing Starter begins at $6.99/month. Compare included credits and optional lip-sync allowances against the exact project you need to produce. A lower monthly subscription can cost less overall than buying a large allowance you will not use. See plans and pricing.
High-volume, audio-only dubbing (single language):
HeyGen Creator lists $29/month and 600 shared credits on its current pricing page. Confirm the selected translation mode’s allowance and usage rate before estimating high-volume audio dubbing costs. ElevenLabs Creator ($22/month) provides approximately 40 minutes from shared credits at roughly $0.55 per minute, but charges per target language. Best suited for podcast dubbing or audio-first content where you need ElevenLabs’ voice quality.
Higher-volume dubbing with Finch: Perso Dubbing starts at $0.11 per dubbed minute with Finch on PRO monthly: $99/month for 10,800 credits, providing up to 900 minutes when all credits are used for Finch. Actual minutes depend on model choice and other credit use. Optional lip sync has separate usage conditions; the $0.11 rate is for Finch dubbing. The same PRO credit pool alternatively provides up to 180 minutes with Linnet 4 or 45 minutes with Nightingale. These allowances are alternatives, not additive.
Teams that also need AI avatars:
HeyGen Creator at $29/month bundles avatar creation with video translation. If you use both features regularly, the shared credit pool adds value. For dubbing alone, the credit sharing makes it less efficient than dedicated dubbing tools.

Q. Which AI dubbing platform is cheapest? A. There is no single lowest total cost for every workflow. Perso Dubbing offers Finch dubbing from $0.11/min on PRO monthly ($99/month, up to 900 minutes at full credit allocation). Compare the subscription commitment, actual minutes used, model, target languages, and optional lip-sync requirements. This is not a market-wide cheapest claim.

AI Dubbing Pricing 2026: Cost Breakdown for Every Major Tool
Perso pricing update: October 22, 2026. Competitor figures below retain their stated reference dates; confirm current terms before purchase.
Perso Dubbing starts at $0.11 per dubbed minute with Finch on PRO monthly: $99/month for 10,800 credits, providing up to 900 minutes when all credits are used for Finch. Actual minutes depend on model choice and other credit use. Optional lip sync has separate usage conditions; the $0.11 rate is for Finch dubbing. Compare the monthly subscription commitment, model, usable minutes, target-language usage, and optional lip sync before choosing a plan.
This guide breaks down exactly what you pay, what the headline price hides, and which tool makes sense for your budget and dubbing volume.
AI Dubbing Pricing Comparison: 7 Tools Side by Side
Perso pricing was updated October 22, 2026. The other rows retain their July 2026 reference date and need confirmation before purchase. The table separates entry subscriptions from Perso’s $0.11/min Finch rate on PRO monthly; the rows do not represent identical model and lip-sync configurations.
Tool | Entry Plan | Monthly Price | Included Minutes | Eff. $/Min | Lip Sync | Dubbing Languages |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Perso Dubbing | Starter | $6.99 | ~7 min | Starter: ~$1.00; PRO Finch: $99 / up to 900 min = $0.11 at full allocation | Optional; separate plan and credit conditions | 99+ |
ElevenLabs | Creator | $22 | ~40 min (shared credits) | ~$0.55 | No (audio only) | 32 |
HeyGen | Creator | $29 | Mode-dependent; verify current translation allowance | Lip sync: ~$0.24 in July 2026 reference; verify current rates | Yes (5 credits/min) | 175+ |
Descript | Business | $50 | Credit-based | ~$1.50-2.00 | Limited | 14 (dubbing) |
VEED.io | Pro | $49 | ~20 min | ~$2.45 | Limited | 125+ |
Rask AI | Creator | $60 | ~25 min | ~$2.40 | No (Creator Pro+) | 130+ |
Synthesia | Enterprise | Custom | Custom | Custom | N/A | 140+ |
Synthesia is primarily an AI avatar platform. One-click video translation is available only on its Enterprise tier with custom pricing. We include it because it appears frequently in AI dubbing searches, but its core use case is avatar-generated video rather than dubbing existing footage.
A low monthly entry price and a low effective per-minute rate answer different questions. Finch on PRO monthly reaches $0.11/min at full allowance use, but the subscription costs $99/month. A creator using fewer minutes pays a higher effective rate. Compare the same output requirements before choosing a plan.
How Much Does AI Dubbing Cost in 2026?
Perso Dubbing starts at $0.11 per dubbed minute with Finch on PRO monthly: $99/month for 10,800 credits, providing up to 900 minutes when all credits are used for Finch. Actual minutes depend on model choice and other credit use. Optional lip sync has separate usage conditions; the $0.11 rate is for Finch dubbing. The same PRO credit pool alternatively provides up to 180 minutes with Linnet 4 or 45 minutes with Nightingale. These allowances are alternatives, not additive.
For context, professional human dubbing is widely reported to cost tens of dollars per finished minute, so even the most expensive AI option here is dramatically cheaper. On Perso AI’s platform, the median completed dubbing project finishes in 4 minutes 23 seconds, and 56.6% of completed projects finish in under 5 minutes (source: Perso AI platform data, 316,856 projects, Jan 2025 to Apr 2026). Speed and per-minute price together, not price alone, decide the true cost of localizing a video library.
How AI Dubbing Pricing Actually Works
Not every “per-minute” price means the same thing. Each platform uses a different billing model, and the differences can make a $22/month plan more expensive than a $99/month plan depending on how you use it.
Credits vs. Minutes
AI dubbing tools use two main billing approaches:
Minute-based and credit-based allowances must be converted using the selected model. Perso PRO includes 10,800 credits: up to 900 Finch minutes, 180 Linnet 4 minutes, or 45 Nightingale minutes when allocated entirely to one model. These are alternatives, not combined allowances.
Credit-based billing. HeyGen, ElevenLabs, and Descript use credits shared across multiple features. HeyGen translation allowances depend on the selected mode; verify the current audio-only allowance before estimating usage. Lip-synced video translation costs 5 credits per minute. Descript’s Business plan ($50/month) includes 1,500 AI credits shared across translation, dubbing, and other AI features. ElevenLabs’ Creator plan ($22/month) provides 121,000 credits shared across text-to-speech and dubbing, with dubbing consuming 3,000 credits per minute for automatic dubbing without watermark.
Target-language usage. Count the dubbed outputs required for every target language and check the provider’s usage rules. Do not assume one source minute purchases unlimited translated outputs.
The Per-Language Multiplier Most Tables Miss
This is the single biggest pricing variable that changes the math for multi-language dubbing.
For a five-minute video in Spanish and French, budget for both dubbed outputs and verify the usage estimate before generation. The $0.11 Finch rate is an effective dubbed-minute rate at full PRO monthly allocation, not a promise of unlimited languages for one charge.
ElevenLabs bills each target language separately. That same 5-minute video dubbed into Spanish and French consumes 10 minutes of your dubbing allowance, not 5. A 10-minute video dubbed into 4 languages costs 40 dubbing minutes.
For a YouTube creator dubbing every upload into 3 languages, this multiplier triples ElevenLabs’ effective per-minute cost from $0.55 to $1.65 on the Creator plan. That changes the value equation completely.
Hidden Costs That Change the Real Price
Lip-Sync Surcharges
Lip sync matches the speaker’s mouth movements to the dubbed audio. It is essential for marketing videos, e-learning, and YouTube content where viewers see the speaker’s face. Most platforms treat it as a premium feature.
Tool | Lip Sync Access | Extra Cost |
|---|---|---|
Perso Dubbing | All plans (Starter+) | Optional; separate plan and credit conditions |
HeyGen | Paid plans | Lip sync: 5 credits/min in July 2026 reference; verify current mode |
Rask AI | Creator Pro ($150/mo+) | Upgrade required + lip sync doubles credit usage |
ElevenLabs | Not available | Audio-only dubbing |
Descript | Business ($50/mo+) | Credit-based, limited |
VEED.io | Pro ($49/mo+) | Limited implementation |
Optional lip sync changes the output and may change credit consumption or require a particular plan. Perso offers lip sync on paid plans subject to separate usage conditions. Its $0.11/min Finch rate describes dubbing only, so verify a lip-synced project’s usage estimate separately.
Overage Rates
Exceeding your plan’s included minutes triggers overage charges that vary widely:
Tool | Overage Rate | Note |
|---|---|---|
Perso Dubbing | Check current additional-credit terms | Separate from the $0.11 effective subscription rate |
ElevenLabs | $0.60/min (Creator) to $0.24/min (Scale) | Per target language |
Rask AI | $3.00/min | Annual plans; highest among major tools |
HeyGen | Credit pack purchase required | No per-minute overage |
Additional usage is priced separately from a subscription’s effective included-minute rate. Do not assume the $0.11 Finch rate applies to overages. Check the current plan and additional-credit terms before budgeting beyond the included allowance.
Export Quality Restrictions
Some plans limit export resolution or add watermarks. HeyGen’s free plan caps exports at 720p. VEED.io’s free plan adds watermarks. ElevenLabs’ watermark-free dubbing costs 50% more credits than the watermarked option. These restrictions don’t change the dubbing cost directly, but they affect whether the output is usable for professional distribution.
Platform-by-Platform Pricing Breakdown
Perso Dubbing
Perso Dubbing supports 99+ dubbing output languages. Perso Dubbing starts at $0.11 per dubbed minute with Finch on PRO monthly: $99/month for 10,800 credits, providing up to 900 minutes when all credits are used for Finch. Actual minutes depend on model choice and other credit use. Optional lip sync has separate usage conditions; the $0.11 rate is for Finch dubbing. The same PRO credit pool alternatively provides up to 180 minutes with Linnet 4 or 45 minutes with Nightingale. These allowances are alternatives, not additive.
Starter: $6.99/month, 420 credits (7 minutes), ~$1.00/min. Optional lip sync is subject to plan and credit conditions.
Creator: $29/month, 2,400 credits (40 minutes), ~$0.73/min. 15-minute video support.
PRO monthly: $99/month, 10,800 credits, up to 900 Finch minutes, $0.11/min at full allocation. Actual minutes depend on model and other credit use. Optional lip sync has separate conditions. Videos up to 30 minutes; 4K export.
The $0.11 Finch rate is an effective PRO monthly subscription rate, not a quoted additional-credit rate. A free plan lets new users test dubbing. See the full Perso Dubbing pricing page for current terms, or learn how to dub a video with AI.
HeyGen
HeyGen prices dubbing in credits shared across its avatar and translation features. Its Creator plan costs $29/month (monthly billing; $24/month on annual) with 600 monthly credits. Video translation consumes 5 credits per minute with lip sync or 2 credits per minute audio-only, so the Creator plan yields about 120 lip-synced dubbed minutes (~$0.24 per minute) if credits are spent only on translation. Check HeyGen’s current audio-only translation allowance separately; the lip-sync estimate does not establish unlimited audio usage.
The caveat: those same credits also power HeyGen’s avatar generation, so heavy avatar users see fewer dubbing minutes. For a feature-level comparison including language coverage and lip sync, see Perso Dubbing vs HeyGen.
ElevenLabs
ElevenLabs is best known for AI voice synthesis. Its Creator plan costs $22/month with 121,000 credits. Automatic dubbing consumes 3,000 credits per minute without a watermark, yielding about 40 dubbed minutes per month (~$0.55 per minute). Its newest Automatic Dubbing v2 line is metered more steeply: the Creator plan includes only 9 v2 minutes, an effective ~$2.44 per minute.
The billing detail that catches teams off guard: ElevenLabs bills every target language separately. A 10-minute video dubbed into Spanish, French, and German counts as 30 minutes of usage, not 10. ElevenLabs also focuses on audio dubbing and does not offer lip-synced video. For a side-by-side on voice quality versus video-native dubbing, see Perso Dubbing vs ElevenLabs.
Rask AI
Rask AI prices dubbing in minutes rather than credits, which makes its per-minute math the most transparent. Its Creator plan costs $60/month for 25 dubbed minutes with lip sync, an effective rate of about $2.40 per minute. Annual billing lowers this to roughly $33/month (~$1.32 per minute).
Volume tiers improve the rate: Creator Pro is $150/month for 100 minutes ($1.50/min) and Business is $750/month for 500 minutes ($1.50/min). One detail affects heavy lip-sync users: Rask AI’s enhanced lip sync counts one video minute as three usage minutes, tripling consumption. See Perso Dubbing vs Rask AI for a volume-based comparison.
Best Value by Use Case
The cheapest tool depends on your dubbing volume, target language count, and lip-sync needs.
Creators testing a small workload: Perso Dubbing Starter begins at $6.99/month. Compare included credits and optional lip-sync allowances against the exact project you need to produce. A lower monthly subscription can cost less overall than buying a large allowance you will not use. See plans and pricing.
High-volume, audio-only dubbing (single language):
HeyGen Creator lists $29/month and 600 shared credits on its current pricing page. Confirm the selected translation mode’s allowance and usage rate before estimating high-volume audio dubbing costs. ElevenLabs Creator ($22/month) provides approximately 40 minutes from shared credits at roughly $0.55 per minute, but charges per target language. Best suited for podcast dubbing or audio-first content where you need ElevenLabs’ voice quality.
Higher-volume dubbing with Finch: Perso Dubbing starts at $0.11 per dubbed minute with Finch on PRO monthly: $99/month for 10,800 credits, providing up to 900 minutes when all credits are used for Finch. Actual minutes depend on model choice and other credit use. Optional lip sync has separate usage conditions; the $0.11 rate is for Finch dubbing. The same PRO credit pool alternatively provides up to 180 minutes with Linnet 4 or 45 minutes with Nightingale. These allowances are alternatives, not additive.
Teams that also need AI avatars:
HeyGen Creator at $29/month bundles avatar creation with video translation. If you use both features regularly, the shared credit pool adds value. For dubbing alone, the credit sharing makes it less efficient than dedicated dubbing tools.
