Where the plans differ

What this page does not cover
We have not yet compared editors or AI notes side by side, so this page makes no claim about which is better. The quickest way to find out is to upload one file to each and look at the result.
Which one fits
Where TurboScribe is stronger
- It lists 98+ transcription languages against our 38+ at launch. If your language is not on our list, TurboScribe is the more likely fit.

- It sells a higher tier, Unlimited Max, for people who need more than the Unlimited plan allows. We have one paid plan.
Choose TurboScribe when
- Your audio is in a language that is on their list but not on ours. Check both lists before you pay.

- You want editable transcripts with timestamps and speaker labels, AI notes, and exports to TXT, DOCX, PDF, SRT and VTT.
