How we grade them
| 2.0GPAScribieFair | 3.0GPATranskriptorVery good | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B$0.80 a minute for human-checked transcripts, against $1.99 a minute at Rev. It's pay-per-order, so a one-hour file is $48 before add-ons. | CPro is $8.33 a month billed yearly ($99.99) for 2,400 minutes, just past the low end of this category and in its middle. Pay monthly and it's $19.99. Lite is $9.99 for 300 minutes with no AI summaries. Every plan is metered and unused minutes don't roll over. |
| Free plan and trial | FNo free trial or free plan is shown on the pages read, so every order is paid. | CThere's no free plan to settle on. A free account hands you 90 minutes of transcription to try the service — an hour and a half, so two or three meetings — and that's the whole of it. A cap you'll hit in the first week. |
| Features | CHuman-checked transcripts with speakers and time codes, export to Word, SRT and VTT, legal transcription and an API. It does that one job fully, and it has no bot, calendar link or live notes. | BIt covers the job end to end: files, YouTube and Drive links, a bot for Zoom, Meet and Teams, or the Mac and Windows app recording with no bot in the call. Over 100 languages, speaker labels, translation, and from Pro summaries, templates and AI chat that cites its source. Nothing its rivals don't also do, though. |
| Ease of use | BNo store rating on record. Upload a file, pay for the order and download the transcript. | A4.7 from about 1,100 App Store ratings, which is enough people for the number to mean something. Upload a file or paste a link and the transcript comes back, and the desktop app spots a meeting and records it without being asked. |
| Platforms and integrations | CWeb only, with an API reference listed. No apps and no integrations are named. | AWeb, Mac, Windows, iPhone, Android and a browser extension — the lot. It also hooks into Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, Google Drive, Dropbox, Slack, HubSpot and Notion. |
| Best for | human-checked transcripts of recordings, paid per minute | turning audio and video files into text |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
