Does either tool dub the audio?

No. Both translate text only: titles, descriptions and subtitles. The audio track of the video is left alone.

Can I move from a subscription to points mid-way?

Yes, nothing is locked in. Translations live on the video itself, in YouTube's localization fields, not inside the tool that wrote them — so switching tools does not remove anything you already published.

What happens to translations if I stop paying?

They stay on your videos. Both tools write into YouTube, and what is written is yours: it stays visible to viewers regardless of your subscription status.

Which one is cheaper?

It depends on how often you publish. ReTranslate Pro costs $20 every month; YouClicker's €40 pack of 10,000 points is a single charge that covers 250 videos in 20 languages with subtitles. For a channel that publishes weekly the subscription adds up faster; for a channel that translates continuously in large volumes the comparison should be made on your own numbers.

ReTranslate alternative

YouClicker or ReTranslate: which fits your channel

These two tools solve the same problem and differ in three concrete ways: ReTranslate is a subscription with daily limits and also translates channel and playlist metadata; YouClicker is a one-off purchase with desktop and mobile apps and works at the video level. Everything below was checked on 25 August 2026.

Neither tool touches audio. If you need a translated voice track, that is a different class of product — and since February 2026 YouTube gives automatic dubbing away for free to eligible channels anyway.

Where ReTranslate is genuinely ahead

Channel-level metadata. ReTranslate translates the channel description and playlists, not only videos. YouClicker works one video at a time and does not touch the channel. If your channel page is a landing page for international viewers, that gap matters.

A free tier. You can try ReTranslate without paying, within a daily cap. YouClicker has no free plan: the smallest entry is €15 for 3,000 points.

Where YouClicker is ahead

You pay once. Points do not expire and there is no monthly charge. A channel that localizes its back catalogue in one push and then adds a video a week is paying a subscription for idle months — with points that problem does not exist.

It is an application, not a tab. Windows, macOS, iOS and Android, one account across all four. A batch of a hundred languages does not depend on a browser tab staying open, and you can start a run from a phone.

Daily caps. ReTranslate limits usage per day on every plan, including paid ones. With points the limit is the balance you bought, and a back catalogue of two hundred videos can go through in one sitting.

How to choose

Take ReTranslate if you want to try it for free first, or if translating the channel description and playlists matters as much as the videos.
Take YouClicker if you dislike subscriptions, want to clear an archive without daily caps, or work from a desktop app and a phone rather than a browser.
Take neither if what you actually need is a translated voice track: both tools are text-only.

What the two have in common is more important than the difference: both write translations through the official YouTube API into the video's localization fields, and both leave your original title untouched. Read what that means on the page about what translating a video actually involves.
