Frequently asked about Whipscribe

Is Whipscribe free?

Your first transcript is free, at any length: preview any transcript instantly with no signup, and $0.99 opens your first one in full, no account needed. After that, you pay once for credits. One-time credit packs: $8 for 1,000 minutes, $12 for 2,000 minutes, $24 for 5,000 minutes, credits never expire; $0.99 unlocks your first transcript and adds no credit. The developer API has no free tier — a key needs account credit.

Where is the Whipscribe category heading?

Three things are moving across the whole speech-to-text market right now: summaries, action items and speaker insights generated on top of the transcript rather than sold separately; private, secured deployment where the audio never leaves a boundary you control; and agent access — transcription exposed as a tool that Claude, Cursor or a workflow runner can call directly. Whipscribe ships all three today: per-job insights, our own GPUs, and an MCP server.
