Which one fits you better?
Honest, no marketing fluff. Where Sonix is the right call, we say so.
Choose CATT if:
- You transcribe more than five hours a month and do not want to buy hour buckets or $25 seats
- You want structured AI output per use case, not a single summary-and-chapters pass
- You upload long recordings and want the whole file transcribed with speaker labels, in an editor with comments and version history
Choose Sonix if:
- Your procurement needs SOC 2 Type 2, HIPAA or GDPR paperwork and SSO/SAML
- You publish subtitled video and need frame-accurate burnt-in captions with translation
- You transcribe under an hour a month and pay-as-you-go at $10/hr is genuinely cheaper
