Our Pricing Philosophy: Affordable for Every Creator

Why We're Building an Affordable Subtitle Tool

In Hong Kong, manual subtitle creation typically costs HK$3-5 per minute of video. A 10-minute video costs HK$30-50, which adds up quickly for independent creators.

We believe AI technology should make subtitle creation affordable for everyone.

Our Plan Structure

Cost Comparison with Manual Subtitles

For example, processing 90 minutes of video per month:

  • Manual subtitles: HK$270-450 (at HK$3-5/minute)
  • Hey Subtitle Basic: HK$72/month

Using Hey Subtitle saves approximately 70-85% on subtitle costs, and it's done in minutes instead of days.
