Why Transcapt

No monthly 'keep account active' fee

Sonix's $22/month fee applies even if you don't transcribe anything. Transcapt has zero monthly fee — pay only when you buy credits.

Clearer pricing structure

Sonix combines membership fee + per-minute charges that add up unpredictably. Transcapt's per-minute rate is transparent: $0.028-$0.042/minute depending on pack size.

Dialect-aware Spanish transcription

Sonix supports Spanish but not with LATAM dialect tuning. Transcapt is explicitly optimized for Mexican, Argentine, Chilean, Colombian, and Peruvian Spanish.

YouTube free, always

Sonix counts YouTube transcription against your quota. Transcapt transcribes YouTube audio and playlists at no cost, regardless of account status.

Pay-per-use pricing, no subscription

Pay only for the minutes you transcribe. Credits never expire.

Frequently asked questions

Is Sonix better for long-term archival transcription?+

Sonix has strong features for enterprise workflows (team collaboration, searchable media player, analytics). If you need those, Sonix wins. If you just need accurate transcripts, Transcapt is simpler and cheaper.

Can I cancel Sonix without losing my transcripts?+

Sonix requires an active subscription to access stored transcripts. Transcapt's transcripts are downloadable as TXT/SRT/DOCX/PDF and stay with you regardless of account status.

How does the total cost compare for 10 hours/month?+

Sonix: $22 membership + $0.10/min × 600 min = $82/month. Transcapt (Pro pack): $19.99 for 12 hours with no monthly fee, and credits roll over if unused.

Does Sonix have better multi-user collaboration?+

Yes, Sonix has team workspaces and collaborative editing. Transcapt is currently single-user focused — if your team needs shared workspaces, Sonix is a better fit.

Can I try Transcapt risk-free?+

Yes. 15 free minutes on signup, no credit card required. Unlike Sonix's trial, there's no automatic conversion to paid — you decide when to buy credits.
