Which one is for you
Pick Sonix if
- Fits if you transcribe recorded interviews or podcasts and need subtitles or translations
- Makes sense if you need a BAA or SOC 2 report from a transcription vendor
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want a bot that sits in every call, since the recorder is a side feature
- Tight if you transcribe a lot: 5 hours a month on Core, then $10 an hour
- Pricey if you add seats, at $25 a month each with no extra hours
- Watch out: real-time transcription is only early access, and there are no mobile or desktop apps
Pick Verbit if
- Fits if your college needs captions for accessibility rules
- Makes sense if you're a law firm that wants transcripts tied to Relativity
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you want a price before a sales call, as none is published
- Skip it if you're one person after meeting notes, since it isn't a bot aimed at individuals
- Watch out: support goes from email and chat to 24/7 with an account manager, depending on plan
- Watch out: each sector has its own products, so plans are not comparable

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.
