About Maestra AI
What is Maestra AI (2026 update)
Maestra AI is a transcription, translation, subtitling, and voiceover platform that converts audio and video into text and speech across more than 125 languages. It targets video creators, media teams, and businesses that need captions, dubbing, or live transcription without hiring a production team for every language version of their content.
What is new in 2026
Maestra has built out separate product lines for transcription, subtitles, voiceover, and real-time captioning, each billed on its own credit-based plan ladder rather than one blanket subscription. The Video Dubber now includes voice cloning across more than 30 languages, so a video can be dubbed while keeping the original speaker’s voice style. The Realtime Transcription and Subtitling browser extension integrates directly with YouTube, OBS, and Zoom for live captioning during streams or meetings, and a custom dictionary feature locks in brand names and industry jargon so they transcribe correctly every time.
Key features
- Transcription and speech recognition supporting 125+ languages
- AI dubbing with voice cloning across 30+ languages to preserve the original speaker’s voice
- Live captioning integrations with YouTube, OBS, and Zoom
- Subtitle generation and translation with file upload, text editing, and full text search
- Custom dictionary to lock in brand names and jargon across transcripts
- Team plans with shared editing and API access for pipeline integration
Pricing in 2026
Maestra bills each product (transcription, subtitles, voiceover, real-time captions) on its own plan ladder, plus a pay-as-you-go credit option where 1 credit equals 1 minute of audio or video processed. Yearly billing gives a 20 percent discount versus paying monthly.
| Plan | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Pay As You Go | $12 per 60 credits | 60 minutes of transcription or subtitles, non-expiring credits |
| Lite (transcription) | $23/month, billed yearly | 180 minutes of transcription per month |
| Basic | $39/month, billed yearly | 360 minutes/month transcription or subtitles, or 120 minutes voiceover, plus AI summary and custom dictionary |
| Premium | $79/month, billed yearly | 900 minutes/month transcription or subtitles, or 300 minutes voiceover, plus Teams and API access |

Monthly billing costs more per month than the yearly rates shown above. Check the official pricing page for the current monthly rate and whether a free trial is offered, since none was listed on the pages reviewed.
Who should use it
Maestra AI fits video teams and businesses that need to localize content into many languages at once, since 125+ language support and voice cloning cover most international distribution needs in one platform. Podcasters and streamers who need live captions during a broadcast benefit from the YouTube, OBS, and Zoom integrations. Occasional users, like someone transcribing a single interview, are better served by the pay-as-you-go credits than committing to a monthly plan they will not fully use.
Limitations and alternatives
Because Maestra prices transcription, subtitles, voiceover, and real-time captions as separate products, a team that needs all four services ends up juggling multiple plan ladders and subscriptions instead of one flat price, which makes the effective monthly cost harder to predict than a single all-in-one plan. The credit-based model also means unused minutes on a lower-volume month are wasted unless you drop to pay-as-you-go. If you mainly need transcription without the dubbing and captioning add-ons, consider Sonix, which focuses on transcription and translation with a simpler per-minute rate, Rev, which combines AI and human transcription for higher accuracy on difficult audio, or Descript, which pairs transcription with a full video editing workflow.
