How BurnSub fixes what SRTBurn broke

- ✓ Open methodology and visible developer credentials (E-E-A-T)
- ✓ 4K input on free tier — verified, not "not disclosed"
Real user complaints about SRTBurn
"I uploaded a confidential client video to SRTBurn — wish it ran locally instead"
"SRTBurn requires me to already have an SRT file — I just want auto-captions"
Paraphrased from public Reddit / X / forum discussions about SRTBurn's free tier. SRTBurn isn't a bad tool — but its free tier is built to push you to Pro, not to be useful.
Why SRTBurn watermarks (the honest answer)
Exact-match-domain play targeting "SRT burn" queries. Markets itself on no-signup convenience.
Why BurnSub doesn't need to
BurnSub is a single solo-built web tool. It runs entirely on your hardware (WebCodecs + Whisper-Turbo via WebGPU). There are no GPU server costs, no VC investors expecting an enterprise SaaS exit, and no Pro tier to gate. The site is funded by a tasteful AdSense slot at the bottom of the page — that's it.
Stop fighting SRTBurn's paywall.
