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

Both are strong choices. Try CATT on your own audio and compare.

Frequently asked

Yes. On any paid plan CATT transcribes the full file: upload a single 3-hour board meeting or 2-hour lecture and it transcribes all of it. Links and videos can run up to 24 hours each on a paid plan.

CATT Pro is $14.99/mo month-to-month, or $99.99/yr billed annually, with unlimited transcription. The pricing rows above list Sonix's plans and their limits, so you can compare the cost at your own volume.

It depends on the language. We support 99 languages with native-script output, and clear audio on the premium engine usually needs only light edits. A short test file in your language is the best check before you commit.

Yes. 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.
