Video dubbing cost calculator
Managed video dubbing, with human validation at the critical steps, typically comes in under €20 per delivered minute, versus €100 to €500 per minute at a traditional localization agency. That is 70–90% less for a comparable scope. Set your project parameters below to estimate your budget and indicative turnaround.
- Traditional agency (€100–500/min)
- €12,000 – €60,000
- Indicative turnaround
- 1–2 weeks
A planning estimate, not a quote. Every project is priced precisely after we scope the workflow and validation steps.
How this estimate is calculated
Everything is priced per source minute per target language. Each minute covers a complete pipeline: transcription, translation adapted to your brand glossary, AI voices generated with our proprietary VoiceCheap technology, mixing, human quality control at the critical steps, and publish-ready exports.
Three factors move the price. Lip-sync is the main multiplier: re-syncing lips takes significantly more compute and frame-by-frame review. Voice cloning adds the creation and validation of a voice model per speaker. Styled subtitles add a design and burn-in pass per language.
Volume lowers the per-minute price: a 1,000-minute delivered catalog costs proportionally less than a single video, because the glossary, voices, and validation workflow are reused. That is how our training and e-learning clients typically work.
What drives the cost of localizing a video
- Source runtime: the total minutes to localize
- Target language count: each language is a full production
- Lip-sync: the main multiplier (compute plus frame-by-frame review)
- Voice cloning: a validated voice model per speaker
- Subtitle deliverables: SRT/VTT included, styled versions optional
- Volume and recurrence: catalogs lower the per-minute price
Why 70–90% less than a traditional agency
Traditional localization agencies charge €100 to €500 per minute: recording studios, voice actors per language, production back-and-forth. VoiceStudio replaces the studio with an AI pipeline operated and validated by humans, with a delivered cost typically under €20 per minute. You buy the same final deliverable, produced differently.
