Transkriptor vs Transcrib Si: a meeting assistant against a transcription service
Transkriptor takes live meetings and YouTube links as well as files, transcribes in 100+ languages, writes summaries and subtitles, and sells the time in packages of 100 to 1,000 hours. Transcrib Si takes files, returns a transcript with timecodes and speaker labels, and puts it into your pipeline through a REST API, an MCP server and plugins for Claude and ChatGPT. The comparison below was read from public pages on 21–22 October 2026.

Where Transkriptor is better
- Live meetings, YouTube links, summaries and subtitles — we take files only, and we say so on the pricing page.
- 100+ transcription languages and 23 localized versions of the site, Russian among them.
- A free tier of 90 minutes of transcription, and hour packages for the heavy months: 100, 250, 500 or 1,000 hours for $60, $150, $300 or $600 a month.
- A rating published by a third party: 4.8 out of 5 on 1,830 reviews on Trustpilot, read on 22 October 2026. We publish no rating of our own.
- An llms.txt of 17.3 KB with a block of ready facts, and a Claude integration that is announced on the site.
Where Transcrib Si is better
- A finished artifact with an interface for a program: REST v1 under api.transcrib.si/v1, an MCP server with 4 tools (transcribe_audio, summarize_transcript, extract_actions, list_transcripts) and plugins for Claude and ChatGPT.
- CSV and Markdown exports, which the Transkriptor export list does not name, and a transcript as a list of segments with start_s and end_s for every line.
- A stated allowance on a stated price: $10 a month paid yearly ($120 a year) for 1,500 minutes of audio per calendar month, with 64 MB and 120 minutes per file on every plan, Team and the API included.
- Russian and English, tuned for Russian and for mixed Russian-English speech, instead of a language count we would have to take on trust.
- A published privacy policy: which file is processed where, which third party sees a purely English file, how long anything is kept and when it is deleted.
Who should pick which
- Pick Transkriptor if you need live meetings or a YouTube link to become text, or if you work in one of its 100+ languages.
- Pick Transcrib Si if the file is in your hands and the transcript has to reach a script, a dataset, Claude or ChatGPT.
- Pick Transcrib Si if you want the format of the output to be yours: CSV for a spreadsheet, Markdown for a repository, DOCX for a document.
- Pick Transcrib Si if you are Russian and the recording is a mix of Russian and English.
- Pick either if the free tier decides it: 3 files a day for us, 90 minutes for them.
The short version
Transkriptor wins on reach: a live meeting, a YouTube link or a file becomes text, in 100+ languages, on a site published in 23 locales, and it writes summaries and subtitles on top.
We win on the artifact and on the machine: one engine for Russian and English, a stated allowance of 1,500 minutes of audio per calendar month, six export formats including CSV and Markdown, and a developer surface you can read — REST v1, an MCP server with 4 tools, plugins for Claude and ChatGPT.
The price shapes are different and both are reasonable. Transkriptor: a free tier of 90 minutes, Lite at $9.99 for 300 minutes, Pro at $19.99, and hour packages from $60 for 100 hours a month. Ours: Free at $0 with 3 files a day, Pro at $10 a month paid yearly ($120 a year) or $20 a month paid monthly with 1,500 minutes, Team on request, the API metered by volume with no subscription.

How to decide in one minute
Three questions:
- Does the meeting have to be captured live, or the video fetched from a link? Transkriptor — we take files only.
- Does the transcript have to reach a script, a dataset, a CRM field or an agent? Transcrib Si.
- Is your audio Russian, or Russian with English in it? Transcrib Si — our engine is tuned for that mix and we publish where the file is processed.

Questions this page answers.
Is Transcrib Si cheaper than Transkriptor?
At a steady volume, usually: our Pro is $10 a month paid yearly ($120 a year) or $20 a month paid monthly for 1,500 minutes of audio per calendar month, against Transkriptor Lite at $9.99 for 300 minutes, Pro at $19.99 for 300 minutes monthly (2,400 when the year is paid, $8.33 a month) and hour packages from $60 for 100 hours a month.
Can Transkriptor transcribe a live meeting?
Yes — live meetings and YouTube links are among its products, along with summaries and subtitles. We take files only. If the meeting is live and you need it captured, a meeting assistant is the right tool and we will not pretend to be one.
Which languages does Transkriptor transcribe?
100+, announced in its llms.txt, with 23 localized versions of the site, Russian among them. We publish two — Russian and English — tuned for Russian and for mixed Russian-English speech. Neither of us publishes an accuracy percentage: ask for the evaluation report and the sample set.
How does Transkriptor rate on Trustpilot?
On 22 October 2026 the page trustpilot.com/review/transkriptor.com showed 4.8 out of 5 on 1,830 reviews. We publish no rating of our own, and a rating is not an accuracy measurement — read the page yourself.
Can I use Transcrib Si inside Claude or ChatGPT?
Yes — a plugin for each, both going through the same MCP server: transcribe_audio, summarize_transcript, extract_actions and list_transcripts. Transkriptor also announces a Claude integration.
