Our own reading of VideoToFrames's publicly documented free tier as of August 2026. VideoToFrames isn't a bad tool — it just solves a different problem than BurnSub does. Check their site for current terms.
Why VideoToFrames works the way it does
Closest positioning match to BurnSub — also browser-local, no upload, no watermark, free. Build by a different indie maker.
Why BurnSub doesn't need to
BurnSub is a single solo-built web tool. It runs entirely on your hardware (WebCodecs + Whisper via WebGPU). There are no GPU server costs, no VC investors expecting an enterprise SaaS exit, and no Pro tier to gate. The site is funded by a tasteful AdSense slot at the bottom of the page — that's it.
Stop fighting VideoToFrames's paywall.
