OpenSubtitles has been serving the community for years, providing free and accessible subtitles for movies and TV shows. However, running a site of this scale comes with significant costs. As a site dedicated to a niche yet vital service, monetization can be difficult—we can’t rely on mainstream advertising platforms and refuse to turn to aggressive or scammy advertisers. This is where your support is crucial.
Supporting OpenSubtitles by becoming a VIP member is one of the best ways to contribute to our platform and ensure we remain up and running. Other subtitle-sharing platforms, like Subscene, have been forced to shut down due to similar challenges, but thanks to the support of our users, we've been able to continue providing our services.
As a VIP member, you help cover the costs of servers, maintenance, and development. This allows us to provide subtitle downloads, translations, and the AI transcription system without overwhelming our users with disruptive ads. By supporting us, you’re directly contributing to the continued existence of OpenSubtitles.
Becoming a VIP member not only helps the site but also gives you a more enjoyable, ad-free experience. Here's what you'll get:
- Ad-Free Browsing: No popups, banners, or hidden ads. Just pure, uninterrupted content.
- Direct Downloads: Bypass redirects, installers, and unnecessary offers. Download subtitles directly and with ease.
- Higher Download Limits: Access up to 1,000 subtitle downloads per 24 hours, perfect for media centers and heavy users (but please, no abusing!).
- VIP Badge: Show your support with a VIP logo next to your username on your profile and subtitle pages.
- Access to Exclusive Features: Enjoy features like discontinued API access (on OpenSubtitles.org) and special tools that make subtitle management easier.
- Feel Good About Supporting Us: Most importantly, you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing you’re helping keep a great project alive.
Try before you buy
We offer the website, the support, the API, for FREE, just with a little limitation on the number of downloads.
You can fully browse the website, access all subtitles, and use any 3rd party API with a basic account, so please make sure the service fits your need before purchasing a VIP.
Of course we'll still allow a cancellation and refund if you are unhappy with our service after a few days
You can still purchase VIP membership on OpenSubtitles.org, but soon it will be available exclusively on OpenSubtitles.com. The process is simple and secure:
- Pay by credit card or other methods via FastSpring ($20 USD + tax).
- If you're on OpenSubtitles.org, you can still use cryptocurrency (Bitcoin, Monero, etc.) to get VIP.
For cryptocurrency payments, please note that this option will only be available on OpenSubtitles.org until the full transition to OpenSubtitles.com.
