How WhoScribe pricing works
$5 per file, paid once, the same price at any length up to 10 hours. There is no subscription unless you choose Unlimited ($20 a month or $120 a year). The first minutes of every file are free, so you see the transcript before you pay.
One recording: $5, paid once
Upload a file or paste a link, read the free opening, and unlock the whole recording with one payment of $5. The price does not depend on length: a 20-minute interview and a 10-hour lecture cost the same. Nothing renews and there is nothing to cancel.
What $5 per file works out to per hour
Because the price is per file, the cost per hour falls as the recording gets longer.
| Recording length | You pay | Per hour of audio |
|---|---|---|
| 1 hour | $5 | $5 |
| 2 hours | $5 | $2.50 |
| 3 hours | $5 | $1.67 |
| 5 hours | $5 | $1 |
| 10 hours | $5 | $0.50 |
At 10 hours, that is $0.50 per hour of audio.
