Shaded rows are where the two answers disagree and both listings have answered. A row where one side has not stated a fact is left plain, because silence is not a difference.
Scribie
Human transcription by the minute
Scribie sells transcripts rather than software: audio goes up, people check what the machine produced, and a document comes back. Pricing is per minute of audio with no subscription, which suits somebody who needs three interviews transcribed properly and nothing next month. Accuracy guarantees, faster turnaround and difficult audio are priced as separate additions. Anybody who wants a live editor and a searchable archive should buy one of the subscription tools instead.
Our note
Add the surcharges you actually need before comparing this against the automated services, because the base rate and the delivered price are different numbers on anything harder than a clean studio recording. For clean audio and no rush it remains one of the cheapest human-checked options here.
Trint
Transcription built for newsrooms
Trint transcribes and translates at newsroom scale, with live transcription from a phone, shared drives for a team and an editor that keeps text locked to audio while several people work in the same file. It is the dearest thing in this category by a distance. What that buys is unlimited volume under a fair-use cap, 50 languages in and 70 out.
