Verbit pricing, explained

Verbit is quote-only.

Read on verbit.ai/plans, checked 26 October 2026.

Verbit's plans page groups its products by Legal, Media, Corporate & Market Research and Education. Legal Transcription offers AI, rough-draft and ready-to-certify final transcripts, with certified transcripts on request; Legal Capture transcribes proceedings live, with voice signature ID for each speaker; Enterprise Capture and Campus Complete list live translation in 117 languages.
