Maestra
Tool · this deep dive is built from the official pages of the platform itself and of the tools that support it.
Overview
Maestra is a platform for translation and subtitling, assembled out of four different jobs. Speech transcription — "Transcription in 125+ languages". Subtitles — a generator, an editor, translation, a converter of formats and a shift in time. Translation of audio and video, voiceover and dubbing, including voice cloning and lip-sync. And a live mode: simultaneous interpretation ("AI Interpreter"), live captions ("Live Transcribe", "Web Captioner"), live dubbing ("Live Dubbing").
Over and above that, "MaestraCloud" and an API are announced. All from the pricing page.
Which platforms it works with
Social networks the tool does not name — neither as a destination for publishing nor as an integration. The result is carried outwards otherwise: by export and conversion of subtitle formats, by an embeddable player ("embed player") on the Business plan, through the API from the Premium plan and by shared access, "MaestraCloud file sharing". On the corporate plan "SCORM import/export" is added — a format of training courses, not of social networks.
Of third-party services two are named by name, and both are translators, not platforms: DeepL and OpenAI.
Pricing
The prices are from the pricing page, the currency is US dollars. The switch is "Yearly • Save 20% / Monthly"; with annual payment the savings are given as "Save $72", "Save $117", "Save $237", "Save $477", "Save $1077".
Transcription. Pay As You Go — "$12 per 60 credits", Lite — "$23 per month", Basic — "$39 per month", Premium — "$79 per month", Enterprise — "Contact Us!".
Subtitles. Pay As You Go — "$12 per 60 credits", Basic — "$39", Premium — "$79", Business — "$159 per month", Enterprise — on request.
Voiceover and the live mode. The ladder in both lines is the same: Basic — "$39", Premium — "$79", Business — "$159", Business Plus — "$359 per month", Enterprise — on request.
What is free
A permanent free plan is not on the pricing page. The cheapest entry is "Pay As You Go" at "$12 per 60 credits".
Yet with a free trial the tool does beckon: there is a "Get Started Free" button, and in the heading of the page "Free Trial" is stated. Neither the volume nor the term of the trial does the pricing page name.
Restrictions
The limits are counted in minutes and credits, separately for each line; the minutes are converted between kinds of work at different weights.
Transcription. 60 minutes for "60 credits"; Lite — "180 mins/mo"; Basic — "360 mins/mo"; Premium — "900 mins/mo".
Subtitles. Per pack — 60 minutes of subtitles or 30 minutes of translation; Basic — "360 mins subtitles OR 180 mins translation"; Premium — "900 mins OR 450 mins"; Business — "1800 mins OR 900 mins".
Voiceover. Basic — "120 mins voiceover translation"; Premium — "300 mins translation OR 100 mins pro voices/cloning"; Business — "600 mins OR 200 mins"; Business Plus — "1500 mins OR 500 mins". Lip-sync is taken out of the plan — "lip-sync ($2/min)".
The live mode. Basic — "360 mins real-time captions"; Premium — "900 mins captions OR 180 mins translation per language"; Business — "1800 mins captions OR 360 mins translation OR 180 mins dubbing"; Business Plus — "4500 / 900 / 450 mins".
Seats in the team: Premium — "1 additional member", Business — "2 additional members", Business Plus — "4 additional members".
Rights to the output
About the rights to the result of the work specifically — the transcription, the subtitles, the translation, the voiceover — the terms do not speak.
Something else is said in them: "As between the parties, all Content, except for Customer Data (as defined below), is owned by Maestra or its licensors" — all content, except for the customer's data, belongs to Maestra or its licensors. For what you upload a warranty is required: "you own all rights, title, and interest in and to the Customer Data, or have otherwise secured all necessary rights".
The line runs between "Content" and "Customer Data", and to which of those two baskets the subtitles and voiceover made for you are assigned does not follow from what is quoted. Permission for or prohibition of commercial use of the output is not in the terms.
A second warning from the same terms concerns not rights but access: "Termination or cancellation of your Account by either party may result in the forfeiture and destruction of all information and data, including Customer Data" — the ending of an account may finish with the destruction of all data.
Do they train on your data
The source does not say. Neither the terms nor the privacy policy state whether the models are trained on the recordings uploaded, and they describe no opt-out. In the terms there is only the reservation "Maestra may collect and use data regarding the use and performance of the Service, to analyze and improve the Service"; the word "train" is not in the text.
For a tool that clones a voice the silence is notable — but this is not a statement that there is no training.
How you earn with it
Neither a permission nor a ban on commercial use of the output is contained in the terms. About the rights to the transcription, the subtitles, the translation and the voiceover specifically they are silent: the line is drawn between "Content", which "is owned by Maestra or its licensors", and "Customer Data", and to which of those two baskets the result of the work is assigned does not follow from the text.
The practical conclusion is a short one: a direct permission to sell what is made you do not have in hand, and a direct ban you do not have either. We shall not build up a permission for the source.
One reservation in the same terms bears on earning directly. Voice cloning at Maestra runs on a third-party supplier, and the terms move the user under someone else's rules: "If you use the voice cloning integration within Maestra, you acknowledge and agree to be bound by the ElevenLabs Terms of Service". So for a voiceover made with a cloned voice the question of commercial use is answered not by Maestra's document but by that of ElevenLabs.
What it will not do
Publish anything for you it will not: not a single social network is named either as a destination for export or as an integration.
To give an API on the junior plans it is not ready: access is declared from Premium, and the embeddable player from Business.
To work free of charge on a permanent basis it does not offer: a permanent free plan is not on the pricing page, and the conditions of the trial announced are not named.
To count all minutes equally it will not: translation costs twice as much as subtitles, cloning three times as much as translation, lip-sync is taken out into "$2/min".
To keep files after the closing of an account it does not promise: the terms warn outright about the destruction of data.
Requirements to mark what is made by AI the tool does not put forward: the words "watermark" and "C2PA" are not in the terms.
Verified data
The checked data this deep dive rests on.
About the platform
a translation and subtitling platform: speech transcription ("Transcription in 125+ languages"), subtitles (a generator, an editor, translation, a format converter, shifting), translation of audio and video, simultaneous interpretation ("AI Interpreter"), voice-over and dubbing, including live ("Live Dubbing"), live captions ("Live Transcribe", "Web Captioner"), voice cloning, lip matching, shared access through "MaestraCloud", an API
the capabilities are spread across four separate pricing lines
source, checked 2026-08-04
verbatim on the voices page: «With Maestra you can automatically: transcribe, caption, and voiceover your video and audio files into more than 125 languages»; the pricing page repeats «Transcription in 125+ languages» on every tier; the site footer lists 78 recognition languages by name, among them Arabic, Cantonese, Chinese, HINDI, RUSSIAN, Urdu, Persian, Pashto, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Ukrainian, Turkish, Swahili, Zulu and others — that is, all six languages of the catalogue are covered
the figure 125+ and the list of 78 names do not match: 78 are the languages for which separate /tools/audio-to-text/transcribe-* pages exist, and the service publishes no full list of 125. The pricing page: https://maestra.ai/pricing

Platforms
an API is announced (access to it is claimed from the Premium plan onwards), shared file access "MaestraCloud file sharing", an embeddable player ("embed player" on the Business plan), export and conversion of subtitle formats, and "SCORM import/export" on the corporate plan; of the third-party translation services, DeepL and OpenAI are named by name
no publishing platforms are named, what is named are formats and embedding

the currency is US dollars; the same price in different lines gives a different volume
source, checked 2026-08-04
$29 a month on monthly billing — the Lite plan in the Transcription line, 180 minutes a month (paid yearly the same plan is $23 a month, «Save $72»); the cheapest paid item of all is the one-off purchase «Pay As You Go», $12 per 60 credits, with no subscription; the Subtitle, Voiceover and Real-Time plans start higher — from $49 a month monthly ($39 yearly)
the switch on the page stands by default at «Yearly • Save 20%», so the visible prices are yearly; the monthly values were taken from the data-price attributes of the same plan cards on the same page (Lite 29, Basic 49, Premium 99, Business 199, Business+ 449)

no permanent free plan is announced on the pricing page: the cheapest entry is "Pay As You Go" at "$12 per 60 credits"; the pages have a "Get Started Free" button and the page title says "Free Trial", but the volume and the term of the free trial are not named on the pricing page
the tool lures with a free trial, but its volume is not announced

Restrictions
there are few topical prohibitions and they are gathered in the customer's warranties: it is forbidden to upload and transmit through the service data that is unlawful, infringes third-party rights, is deceptive, fraudulent, invasive of privacy, tortious or obscene, and any other data the company deems inappropriate at its discretion; malicious code and unauthorised bulk mailing in breach of the CAN-SPAM Act are forbidden; it is separately forbidden to transmit information falling under special protection regimes — medical data under HIPAA and payment data under the PCI standards, and the company expressly states that it is not a «Business Associate» under HIPAA. Also forbidden are reselling and transferring the service to third parties, reverse engineering, benchmarking to create a competing product, circumventing access restrictions and automated crawling of pages. The service does not deal with countries and persons under OFAC sanctions
Maestra has NO ban of its own on cloning someone else's voice without consent — that question is handed to the ElevenLabs terms, which Maestra's terms refer to for the cloning feature; the tool page https://maestra.ai/tools/ai-voice-cloning states outright «Our service uses the ElevenLabs voice cloning API, and by using Maestra, you are also subject to the terms and conditions of the platform»

Legal
the terms do not speak directly about the rights to what is created. What is said: "As between the parties, all Content, except for Customer Data (as defined below), is owned by Maestra or its licensors", and as to what is uploaded the user warrants that "you own all rights, title, and interest in and to the Customer Data, or have otherwise secured all necessary rights"; the terms contain no separate permission for or ban on commercial use of the transcriptions, subtitles and voice-over. Separately there is a warning that after the account ends the data may be destroyed: "Termination or cancellation of your Account by either party may result in the forfeiture and destruction of all information and data, including Customer Data"
the terms are silent about the fate of the result of the work itself (the subtitles, the translation, the voice-over)
