Plans	Free Free The odd interview or voice memo.	Free $0 Trying the editor.
	UnlimitedOur pick $20/mo, or $10/mo billed yearly Anyone transcribing more than a few files a week.	CreatorOur pick About $12 per editor/mo, billed yearly Solo creators who post every week.
		Pro About $24 per editor/mo, billed yearly Teams that translate videos or need 4K.
		Enterprise Custom Larger companies with many editors.
Which plan to pick	Start on the free plan. If you regularly hit the three-files or 30-minute limit, Unlimited billed yearly works out at $10 a month. Test a typical recording first, because purchases aren't refundable.	Creator covers most solo marketers and small businesses. Move to Pro if you need 4K, translation or several brand kits. Paying monthly costs a lot more than the yearly price, and every extra editor is another seat.
