Unlimited Audio Transcription: Free vs Paid Plans
Compare ScribeZip Free, Unlimited Yearly, and Unlimited Monthly plans, including current prices, exports, fair use, and API access.
What “Unlimited” means in ScribeZip
ScribeZip Unlimited removes the free plan’s daily three-transcription limit for normal individual use. It is not a shared team license, a resale right, an automation loophole, or permission to bypass concurrency and abuse protections.
Every plan supports all 29 audio and video file extensions and all 9 export types. The key differences are the daily count, the ScribeZip notice in free exports, billing, and the fair-use terms attached to paid use.
Free vs Unlimited plan comparison
The table below reflects the public ScribeZip pricing page when this guide was updated. The pricing page and checkout always control if a future price or plan detail changes.
| Plan | Current price | What it includes |
|---|---|---|
| Free | US$0 | 3 free transcriptions every day, 1 file at a time, 9 exports with a short ScribeZip notice |
| Unlimited · Yearly | US$10/month, US$120 billed yearly | Unlimited individual transcription, asynchronous batches of up to 50 files, AI organize/summary/translation, and all 9 clean exports |
| Unlimited · Monthly | US$20 billed monthly | The same Unlimited product benefits with month-to-month billing and cancellation |
What stays the same after upgrading
Unlimited increases how often one person can transcribe, adds asynchronous batches of up to 50 files, and unlocks AI organize, summaries, and full translation. Every task keeps its own progress and result, with the same timestamped review and nine export formats.
Accuracy also does not change with the plan. Recording quality, language, accent, background noise, overlapping speech, names, numbers, and specialist terms can affect every transcript, so review remains part of the workflow.
Why fair-use and abuse protections still apply
Unlimited is designed for frequent use by one person. Account sharing, automated scraping, resale, denial-of-service behavior, attempts to bypass technical limits, or high-frequency automation outside an approved API arrangement are not included.
Reasonable concurrency and rate controls protect processing speed and availability for everyone. If your workflow needs software integration or sustained automated volume, use the API instead of trying to automate the personal web plan.
The API is separate from Unlimited subscriptions
ScribeZip API access uses prepaid credits. Credits are consumed by billed media duration, rounded up to a whole minute, and they do not reset monthly. Unlimited web subscriptions do not replace API credits.
Choose the Free plan for occasional files, Unlimited Monthly when you want flexibility, Unlimited Yearly when your ongoing individual use justifies the annual commitment, and API credits when software needs to create transcription jobs.
