Checksub vs VEED Comparison 2026
Checksub and VEED both start at exactly $12 a month billed yearly, but they are different shapes of tool. VEED is a full browser video editor: auto captions, resizing, noise removal and translation into 50 languages, with dubbed audio from its $22 Pro plan and a free plan that keeps a watermark on exports. Checksub has no free tier at all and is narrower by design, subtitling, translation and a dub with a cloned voice and lip sync, sold as an annual credit pool. The choice is a general editor against a localization specialist.

Checksub
Subtitles, dubbing and voice cloning
Checksub subtitles a video, translates the result and will dub it in a cloned voice with lip sync, which puts the whole localisation sequence behind one credit balance instead of three services. Credits are issued for the year rather than the month, so a batch of back catalogue does not need spreading across quarters. Subtitle files export as SRT and VTT for anybody who wants to burn them in elsewhere. The entry plan carries a watermark and one translation per project, which is the ceiling most people meet first.
Our note
The watermark is the real difference between the two plans, so price Starter as the entry point if the output is going anywhere public. Count your hours across the whole year before choosing, because credits do not reset monthly and a batch of archive footage will eat the Junior allowance in one sitting.

VEED
Browser video editing with subtitles that hold up
Why people weigh these two
- VEED instead of Checksub
- VEED burns solid subtitles in as part of a browser edit, with a free tier and paid from $12, the better buy when captions are the whole need.
- Checksub instead of VEED
- Checksub adds dubbing and voice cloning on top of subtitles, from $12, further into translated audio than VEED's own noise removal and captions.
Which one should you pick
Choose Checksub if the dub needs to sound like the original speaker. Its Starter plan at $48 a month billed yearly adds voice cloning and lip sync in beta, neither of which appears in VEED's listing. There is no free tier to test it on first, only a free trial of unstated length.
Choose VEED if captions are one job among several: resizing for each platform, cleaning up room noise, building from a brand kit. It matches Checksub's $12-a-month starting price exactly on the same annual billing, but adds a genuine free plan first, watermarked, to try before paying anything. Its dubbed audio arrives from the $22 Pro plan, without the cloning or lip sync Checksub sells as the point of paying more.
Common questions
- Do Checksub and VEED cost the same to start?
- Yes, exactly: both are $12 a month billed yearly at the entry tier. VEED also has a free plan with a watermark to try first; Checksub has no free tier at all, only an unstated-length free trial.
- Which one clones the speaker's voice for dubbing?
- Checksub does, with lip sync in beta, from its $48-a-month Starter plan. VEED's dubbed audio, available from its $22 Pro plan, is not described as a voice clone in its listing.
- Which one is a general video editor rather than a localization tool?
- VEED is: resizing, noise removal and brand kits sit alongside its captions and translation. Checksub's listing covers subtitling, translation and dubbing only, with no general editing features mentioned.
- Does either one watermark free or entry output?
- VEED's free plan watermarks exports until you upgrade. Checksub has no free plan, and its entry paid tier, Junior, also carries a watermark; only Starter at $48 a month removes it.
