What this means
The service is no longer operating; access is already gone. Rebuild your workflow on a replacement.
The standalone platform is offline; papercup.com now returns a 403 error and there is no login or signup. If you have dubbed videos or translation projects that were only stored with Papercup, treat them as unrecoverable unless you hold local copies of the delivered files. RWS acquired the technology and sells AI dubbing as a service, so teams with ongoing localization needs can contact RWS or move to a self-serve alternative.
Migration checklist
The service has already shut down: gather any local copies, exports, and email attachments you still have.
Save billing and invoice history for your records.
Find your old API keys and stored credentials (password manager, repos) so you can revoke them.
List the workflows and integrations you actually depend on.
Pick a live replacement below that matches how you use it.
Recreate and test one critical workflow on the replacement first.
Cancel the old subscription so you are not billed again.
Revoke the old API keys and remove stored credentials.
