How we grade them
| 2.0GPAScribieFair | 2.0GPATrintFair | |
|---|---|---|
| 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. | F$79 a seat a month billed yearly, or $69 a seat on Team. The category's middle is $11.99, so this is more than six times that. Fair-use unlimited transcription is the only thing on the listing that offsets it. |
| Free plan and trial | FNo free trial or free plan is shown on the pages read, so every order is paid. | CNo free plan. A 7-day trial needs no card, which is enough for one project. |
| 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. | CTranscription in 50+ languages, translation, captions, AI summaries and live transcription. But the listing says it is a media transcription product more than a meeting tool, and archive and bulk work are excluded from unlimited. |
| Ease of use | BNo store rating on record. Upload a file, pay for the order and download the transcript. | CNo store rating on record. You upload, edit and export, but live capture and shared drives mean there is a setup to learn. |
| Platforms and integrations | CWeb only, with an API reference listed. No apps and no integrations are named. | AWeb, Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android, with AP ENPS, Mimir, LiveU, Dropbox, Zapier and Zoom, and an API on Business. |
| Best for | human-checked transcripts of recordings, paid per minute | newsroom transcription with live capture |

More comparisons
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.
