- Launched: Product Hunt, Oct 21, 2026
New launch, not tested hands-on. Sponkly (“Live voice translation for chats, calls, meetings & YouTube”) was in the Product Hunt feed for October 21, 2026 when we checked on the morning of October 22. Everything below comes from sponkly.com, its pricing page and FAQ. We have not signed up or used the product.
Affiliate program exists; we have not joined it. Sponkly runs its own program (sponkly.com/affiliates, checked October 22, 2026): 10% of what each referred customer pays for 12 months, 30-day link memory, payouts from USD 50 by Wise or bank transfer. We are not a member, so every link on this page earns us nothing.
Summary
Quick verdict: a broad, well-priced take on live translation: one app covers chats, calls, small meetings and translated YouTube, with a 7-day free trial. Watch the translation-minute pool (150 minutes a month on Starter) and the strict no-refunds policy.
- Chats, voice and video calls and meetings, translated both ways in 32 languages, about 1 to 2 seconds after each sentence.
- Chrome extension puts live subtitles and an optional spoken translation over Google Meet, Teams, Zoom and any browser video (YouTube, webinars, classes).
- End-to-end encrypted chats, and encrypted audio and video on calls, per the site.
- Video Studio translates videos up to 5 minutes; each video minute uses 2 translation minutes.
- Plans: Starter $12, Professional $29, Business $99, Enterprise $299 a month; yearly billing cuts that to $10, $24.17, $82.50 and $249.17 a month.
- 7-day free trial on every plan; no refunds after you pay.

- Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial (“First 7 days free · cancel anytime”).
- Calls are unlimited on every plan, but translation inside meetings, calls, Face to Face and Video Studio comes out of one monthly minute pool. When it runs out, the call goes on without translation.
- Translated chat messages have their own monthly count: 3,000 (Starter), 10,000 (Professional), 30,000 (Business), unlimited (Enterprise).
- Video Studio: 3, 10, 25 or 50 videos a month, up to 5 minutes each.
- No refunds, “also not for unused time”; cancelling stops the next renewal. Yearly saves up to 17%.
What a year costs (our math)
| Option | Year one | Per month |
|---|---|---|
| Starter yearly | $120 | $10 |
| Starter monthly x 12 | $144 | $12 |
| Professional yearly | $290 | $24.17 |
| Professional monthly x 12 | $348 | $29 |
Our arithmetic from the listed prices. Yearly saves $24 on Starter and $58 on Professional, but remember there are no refunds on a yearly plan.

Features
From sponkly.com, its pricing page and FAQ, October 22, 2026. Described, not tested.
- Translated chat: text, photos, documents, voice messages and group chats, end-to-end encrypted.
- Calls: voice and video calls with live subtitles and a spoken translation in a natural voice.
- Meetings: up to 8 people, each hearing the others in their own language, with chat, polls and transcripts (Word, TXT).
- Chrome extension: live subtitles over Meet, Teams, Zoom and YouTube; nobody else has to install anything.
- Face to Face: one phone between two people, each speaking their own language.
- Apps: iPhone, Android, web, Chrome extension and SpeakBot for websites (Business and up).
Who it’s for
- Freelancers and small teams who meet clients in other languages every week.

- Not for you if you only need occasional text translation (free tools do that) or you need more than 8 people in a meeting.

The catch
A minute pool that runs dry, small meetings, and no refunds.
- Starter includes only 150 translation minutes a month shared across meetings, calls and Face to Face; a few long calls use it up.
- Meetings top out at 8 people even on the $299 Enterprise plan.
- No refunds at all, including unused time on a yearly plan; try the 7-day trial properly first.
- Plans bought in the App Store or Google Play are billed by Apple or Google.
- We have not tested translation quality or the 1 to 2 second delay.
Verdict
- Start with the 7-day trial and run a real call in your language pair.
- Starter ($12, or $10 yearly): fine for a few short calls a week.
- Professional ($29): the sensible plan for weekly client meetings (400 minutes, 4-hour meetings).
This is the price at the moment we wrote this review (October 22, 2026). The price may have changed by the time you read it, so check the official site for today’s price.
Worth trying if: you regularly talk to people who don’t share your language and want calls, chat and meetings in one app.
Skip it if: you need large meetings, a refund safety net, or only translate text now and then.
Not tested hands-on. Prices can change; re-check sponkly.com/pricing before you buy.
