Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a free plan or trial available?

Papercup does not currently offer a public free tier or self-serve trial. Access begins with a demo booking and a custom enterprise quote based on your volume and language requirements.

How does Papercup's pricing work?

Pricing is entirely custom and usage-based, determined by factors such as video length, number of languages, and quality tier. You need to contact the sales team for a tailored quote — no rates are published publicly.

How many languages does Papercup support?

Papercup supports dubbing and translation into more than 70 languages, with human linguist review available for each language pair to ensure cultural accuracy.

What makes Papercup different from fully automated dubbing tools?

Papercup uses a human-in-the-loop approach: AI generates synthetic voiceovers, but professional linguists review every project for script accuracy, cultural appropriateness, and audio quality. This hybrid model is designed for broadcast-grade output rather than fast, unreviewed automation.

Can Papercup integrate with existing video production workflows?

Yes — Papercup provides API access that allows enterprise teams to integrate the dubbing pipeline into their existing content management, distribution, or production systems.
