Why teams move from Plint
You manage the translators
Plint sends work to its own linguists or to automation. CaptionsHero is the place where your own people work, review, and approve.
You want the price before a call
A Plint price starts with a quotation. A CaptionsHero price is on the pricing page, from free to $399 a month.
Your team is not a studio
Plint SUB is for media companies that add subtitling to their supply chain. CaptionsHero is sized for agencies, course teams, and groups of freelancers.
No more final_v3_REVIEWED.srt.
Stop passing files around. Edit, review, and approve in one place.

Plint or CaptionsHero?
Choose Plint if
- You are a studio, broadcaster, or streamer that wants a vendor's linguists to deliver subtitles for a large catalog, and you can wait for a quotation.
- You need subtitles delivered into your own systems through Plint's API, or SDH and audio description from the same vendor.
- Your buyers require ISO 27001, and a tool without it is not an option.
Choose CaptionsHero if
- Your own translators and reviewers do the work, and you want one place to assign each language, comment on exact lines, and approve.
- You read the price on the website and sign up today: free, $29, $149, or $399 a month.
- You pay a flat monthly price per organization, not a per-running-minute quotation.
- AI transcription and translation drafts come with the plan, and your team edits them.
- Your clients accept SRT or VTT files, and you need no SDH or audio description.
- You want a progress dashboard and email notifications for your own team's work.
