Cost per hour of audio
| Hours per month | 1 h | 2 h | 5 h | 10 h | 20 h | 40 h |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| TranscribeCat | $2.00 | $2.00 | $2.00 | $2.00 | $2.00 | $2.00 |

The break-even is 40 hours of audio a month. Below that we cost less; above it, Sonix does.
Where Sonix is the better choice
Sonix offers a wider editing and collaboration workspace, including search, translation and shared team folders. Its plans may suit a team that uses those tools as well as transcription.
Where we are
TranscribeCat charges $2.00 per hour with a $2.00 minimum per file. Compare the whole basket of files and the billing term; a simple hourly ratio does not describe every purchase.
