## Compare free usage and paid plans

TurboScribe Free offers three files each day, with a 30-minute limit per file and one upload at a time. Unlimited is $20 per month on monthly billing, or $120 billed annually, equivalent to $10 per month. See [TurboScribe pricing](https://turboscribe.ai/pricing) and its [billing FAQ](https://turboscribe.ai/).

Verbafy Free includes 60 transcribed minutes each week with no credit card required. Starter monthly costs $12 for 1,000 minutes; Pro monthly costs $24 for 3,000 minutes. Monthly paid plans have a three-day trial with a card on file for eligible accounts. See [pricing](/pricing) for trial limits, weekly plans, and billing terms. All amounts here are USD; check the linked plans before purchase.

Daily file limits and weekly minute allowances suit different schedules. Count both the files you submit and their duration. If bulk file throughput is your main requirement, consider TurboScribe first.

## When to choose Verbafy

Start with Verbafy if your next step is to use the transcript: find a passage, ask a question about it, or download TXT, Markdown, JSON, SRT, VTT, or a ZIP bundle. Speaker names are inferred when identifiable and can be wrong or remain generic.

For example, you can turn a public interview into searchable text, ask which examples a speaker gave, and export the transcript for your notes. Chat answers include citations to transcript passages. Check the original recording before using a quote.

## How should you compare accuracy?

Try a recording that represents your own work. Check names, numbers, overlapping speech, and speaker changes. Accuracy figures measured on different tests do not establish which product will handle your recording better. See [how to evaluate accuracy claims](/blog/how-to-evaluate-transcription-accuracy-claims).
