Maestra is available through the web, an API, and an extension. Integrations include YouTube, TikTok Ads, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Slack, Zapier, OBS, vMix, and webhooks; several meeting and production integrations are listed for real-time transcription and translation. Monthly plans range from $12 a month for Pay As You Go to $79 a month for Premium, while one-time 60-credit subtitle and transcription options each cost $12 as a one-time purchase.
