Subtitles.love: $1.2K a month, self-reported in 2022

Subtitles.love provides subtitle tools, guides, reference content, and connections for people who work with subtitles. Its $1.2K a month was founder-reported on the Indie Hackers product page (not independently verified), as of January 2022.

What it actually sells

Subtitles.love sells subtitle tool references, guides, blog content, and community connections. Its site says, “Tools, guides, community.” It started as a directory of subtitle tools covering formats, classifications, software comparisons, and technical information, then became a community.

How it charges

The pages we read show no price. No currency amounts appear on the pages we read, and the site's visible content focuses on subtitle tools, references, blog posts, comparisons, and community links.

Where customers come from

The site publishes a blog and reference pages. It also offers tool reviews and translation comparison threads, with reference pages covering basics newer subtitle workers come looking for. The site links readers to online community spaces, including Camzey Chat.

What stands out

Subtitles.love covers closed captions, open captions, SDH, forced narratives, and subtitle formats such as SRT, WebVTT, ASS, and TTML. It compares open-source and paid subtitle software, including Subtitle Edit, Aegisub, Rev, Otter, Descript, commercial workflow tools, and smaller-shop indie tools.

From the official site

Subtitles.love brings together people who work with subtitles — translators, accessibility advocates, video creators, and language learners.

Where it sits in the data

Subtitles.love's $1.2K a month is higher than 44% of the 6,604 projects with founder-reported monthly revenue in our dataset; the median across them is $2K. Snapshot: 2026-09-30. The dataset only covers founders who chose to publish their numbers, so it leans toward businesses that work; use it for scale, not as an average.

Currency

All figures are in US dollars as published. A rough yuan or euro conversion is not applied here because prices, taxes and acquisition costs differ by country.

Could you build something like this?

In my view, the buyer would be a translator, captioner, accessibility advocate, video creator, or language learner who needs subtitle references and software guidance. Distribution could come through search for subtitle formats and classifications, blog and reference pages, tool reviews, comparison threads, and links to online community spaces.

The main work would be maintaining accurate technical references, reviewing software changes, organizing comparisons, and keeping community links useful. Regulation is a broader consideration for subtitle and accessibility services, while support load and competition would depend on the depth and freshness of the content.

Verdict: Needs real work.

One thing to take from it

Subtitles.love shows a content-led business built around a specific professional workflow. Its visible surface combines subtitle-tool references, technical guides, software comparisons, blog content, and community connections for people working with subtitles.
