Unlimited transcription for ten dollars
TurboScribe transcribes without counting minutes, which is unusual at this price and is the whole argument for it. A single file can run to ten hours and fifty can be queued at once. Three files a day are free, so the sensible move is to transcribe three of your own and judge the accuracy before paying anybody, here or elsewhere.
Our note
For volume this is the cheapest credible option here by a wide margin. When the work is editing rather than transcribing, Descript is a different product and worth the difference in price.

Captions and resizing for social video
Zubtitle does one job and stops: upload a clip, get burned-in captions, a square or vertical crop and a progress bar, then download it. The free tier really does two videos a month with a watermark, which is enough to know whether the styling suits your channel. Anybody wanting a timeline and transitions is in the wrong tool.
