Start freeRev built its name on human transcription, and for courtroom-grade accuracy it's still a benchmark — but you pay for it. Human transcription runs about $1.50/min (a 60-minute interview ≈ $90), and Rev's AI tier at $0.25/min is solid but priced well above newer Whisper-based tools.
Verbatext runs the same Whisper large-v3 model with AI cleanup at under 2¢ a minute — roughly 12x cheaper than Rev's AI — and you see the first 5 minutes free before paying anything.
