    ElevenLabs, HeyGen, Rask, VEED, Versely, and Descript can dub a Reel into Spanish. Pick by credits, lip-sync, minutes, or captions.

    A Reel in English is not a Spanish Reel until someone speaks Spanish on it. Captions in Spanish are not a dub. Six apps will take the file toward a Spanish soundtrack. ElevenLabs Dubbing is the credit-pool re-voice. HeyGen is audio dub or lip-sync translation on the same credit pile as avatars. Rask is minutes of localization. Versely is a dubbing tool plus a Spanish voice roster. VEED is the editor that also translates. Descript is the transcript path if you already cut there. This page is that list. It is not "AI localization 2026." It is not a 40-language course catalog.

    Lock the English cut first. Dubbing a throwaway take is how you pay twice. If the English Reel still needs a new hook, finish English.

    What dubbing a Reel into Spanish actually is

    A 9:16 file, 15 to 90 seconds, already posted or about to post. The job is:

    • Spanish speech that carries the same meaning, not a literal crawl
    • Optionally a mouth that matches, if a face is on screen
    • Spanish captions, because mute is still the default
    • A voice you have the right to clone, if the dub keeps "your" voice

    Captions-only is cheaper and often enough for a silent feed. If the audience watches with sound, captions are not the dub. Do not sell an SRT as a localization.

    Lip-sync is a second meter on several of these apps. A talking-head Reel may need it. A packshot Reel with a voice bed does not. Do not buy lip-sync for a bottle.

    The six apps

    1. ElevenLabs. Start here if the Spanish track is a re-voice of a performance you already like, and you already pay for that pool. ElevenLabs pricing (read 20 September 2026) shares one credit pile across TTS and dubbing. The FAQ on that page: automatic dubbing is 2,000 credits per minute with a watermark, 3,000 without. Dubbing Studio is 5,000 credits per minute with a watermark, 10,000 without. Starter at $6 includes Dubbing Studio and 30k credits. Creator at $22 includes 121k. A 30-second Reel at 3,000 credits a minute is 1,500 credits without a watermark, before retries. Music on the same account is 900 credits a minute. Do not dub and soundtrack the same short week without counting. ElevenLabs dubbing is audio. It is not a promise that the mouth will match.

    2. HeyGen. Open HeyGen when the Reel is a face, and you want translation with an optional lip-sync, or when the "Spanish version" is an avatar saying the script. HeyGen's pricing (reads around 19 to 20 September 2026) puts Creator at $29 a month ($24 yearly) with 600 credits, Pro at $49 with 1,000 credits. Official FAQ rates: audio dubbing without lip-sync is 2 credits a minute, full video translation with lip-sync is 5 credits a minute. Avatar IV/V is 20 credits a minute, which is a different job. Creator's 600 credits are about 300 minutes of audio dub or 120 minutes of lip-sync translation if you spend the pile on nothing else. Do not burn Avatar V credits on a packshot Reel that only needed a Spanish wav.

    3. Rask. Open Rask when the job is localization as minutes, with lip-sync in the product, not a shared creative pool. Rask's pricing page (read 20 September 2026 range, annual toggle) lists a short trial, then Creator at $60 a month or about $33 a month billed annually with 300 localization minutes a year, Creator Pro at $150 / about $78 with 1,200 minutes a year, Business at $750 / about $500 with 6,000 minutes a year. Extra minutes on annual plans are $3 each on that table. A 30-second Reel is half a minute. Creator's 300 minutes a year is a lot of Reels if you do not also dub 20-minute tutorials into the same bucket. Rask is overhead if you needed one captioned Spanish cut.

    4. Versely. Spanish on a Reel is often a roster plus a file you already host, not a new localization company. Spanish AI voice over lists 20 named MiniMax voices, all seven engines in the snapshot, and Spanish as a dub target. AI dubbing tool takes a clip already in Versely (a generation, an upload, or a library file, not a YouTube URL). For a packshot you can skip the dubber and write the Spanish script, then read it on Inworld TTS 2 at 2 credits per 1,000 characters, or on Gemini 3.1 Flash TTS at 12 credits per 1,000 characters if two people talk. Caption in Spanish either way. Do not turn those credits into a dollar figure. This is not HeyGen's 5-credit-a-minute lip-sync SKU and not Rask's yearly minute bucket. It is a Spanish script plus a still, or a file already here.

    5. VEED. Open VEED when the Reel already lives in that editor and Spanish is a translate feature, not a second vendor. VEED pricing (read 20 September 2026) puts Lite at $12 a month billed yearly ($144) and Pro at $29 a month billed yearly ($348), with translate to 50-plus languages and up to 144 hours a year of text-to-speech on Pro. The comparison table on that page lists AI dubbing at 4 hours a year on the Pro-class row. Confirm the live entitlements. VEED is the app when you would rather not export to Rask. It is not a dedicated dubbing house.

    6. Descript. Open Descript when the English Reel was already a transcript edit, and Spanish is a translate-and-dub step in that project. Independent reads of Descript pricing put Business at $50 per person per month billed annually ($65 monthly), 40 media hours, 1,500 AI credits, with translate/dub called out on Business-class plans in 2026 roundups. Confirm the live page for language list and credit burn. Hobbyist will caption. Dubbing a Reel into Spanish is usually not a Hobbyist reason to exist. Descript is the wrong first click if you never recorded English speech.

    How to pick for one Reel

    Write the sentence.

    • "Keep my English performance, Spanish audio only": ElevenLabs dubbing, or HeyGen audio dub at 2 credits a minute.
    • "There is a mouth on screen": HeyGen lip-sync translation at 5 credits a minute, or Rask if minutes are how you buy.
    • "The Reel is already in VEED": translate there.
    • "The Reel is a still and a Spanish script": Versely TTS, then captions.
    • "The English cut is a Descript project": Descript, if your plan actually includes dub.

    You do not need six apps for one language. Two is a stack: dub plus captions. Six is a localization department.

    Spanish captions still ship even when the dub is perfect. Mute viewers in Mexico still need type.

    After the Spanish track exists

    Proof names. Brand names that work in English get mangled. Have a native speaker listen once. A $29 seat does not replace that pass.

    Do not leave English captions on a Spanish dub. Burn a Spanish overlay. Keep the price in type you can edit.

    If the face is a real person, lip-sync is a product decision, not a default. A mismatch is more obvious than a voice-over on b-roll.

    When the English cut is locked and the Spanish script is ready, sign up and run the dub or the speech row. When the face needs HeyGen's lip-sync meter, stay on HeyGen. The list is six apps. The Reel is one language.

    FAQ

    Are Spanish captions enough instead of a dub?

    For mute feeds, often. For sound-on audiences, no. Captions translate the type. A dub translates the voice. Ship both if you paid for the dub.

    Do I need lip-sync on a product Reel?

    No. Lip-sync is for a mouth. A packshot with a Spanish voice bed is a voiceover. Save the 5-credit-a-minute HeyGen translation for the talking head.

    Why is Versely fourth, not first?

    Because this page is a Spanish Reel, not a homepage. ElevenLabs, HeyGen, and Rask are real dubbing products with published meters. Versely is the row when the file is already here, or when the Reel is a Spanish script on Inworld TTS 2. It is not a replacement for HeyGen's lip-sync SKU.
