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 want a no-signup preview plus 10 free minutes and a 7-day Pro trial, rather than a one-off 30-minute trial
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
Frequently asked about switching from Sonix
Yes. Our Unlimited plan is $9.99 per month billed yearly or $14.99 month to month, with no minute cap. Most Sonix customers spend more than that once they pass the included minutes on a comparable tier.
Most users do. Sign up, drop a file, and you have a transcript with speaker labels in minutes. No data migration is needed because each file is independent. If you have an archive on Sonix, export the transcripts you want to keep and upload future audio to us.
Our AI delivers 99% accuracy on clear audio in supported languages. Independent benchmarks place us in the same tier as the leading AI transcription tools. Accuracy depends mostly on audio quality, accents, and overlap, not on which vendor processes the file.
No. You can transcribe the first 10 minutes without signing up. Create a free account to keep your transcripts and edit them in the browser; the 11 AI templates come with the 7-day Pro trial that starts on signup.
Start on the free plan, which gives you 10 transcription minutes on us, so you can confirm the accuracy on your own audio before you pay. Paid plans are billed in advance and all sales are final, but you can cancel anytime to stop future charges. If you ever hit a genuine technical problem, email hi@convertaudiototext.com and we'll make it right.
