I will be shutting down aisubs.app on July 7, 2025.
The main reason is sustainability. Despite my efforts, the site has fewer than 4 paid Patreon supporters, generating only $17–25 per month. Meanwhile, the monthly running costs break down like this:
- Server fees: $5
- Bandwidth: $40
- GPU transcription: $20
- My time: 1–2 hours daily to keep things running smoothly
I’ve asked for support twice before, and only one person stepped up. Thanks to them, the site stayed alive for over a year. I don’t want to ask again.
What's Next?
The site will stay online for a few months after July 7, but no new uploads will be processed beyond that date.
I’ve uploaded all subtitles to Patreon. Anyone can download them—no account or membership required.
Full Transparency
- Patreon earnings over 22 months: $1,166.55
- PayPal donations from that one Patreon: $803.67
- Total income: $1,970.22
- Total maintenance cost (excluding my time): $1,760
So yes, technically I’m in a small profit — but it's not sustainable. I can't keep this site going like this.
That one Patreon supporter is the only reason the site lasted as long as it did. I thank them from the bottom of my heart.
Thanks to everyone who supported aisubs.app.
