Which plan is worth paying for
Pro billed annually works out to about $100 a year and suits one person who records meetings most weeks. Business makes sense when meetings regularly run over 90 minutes or a team needs admin controls.
Annual billing roughly halves the Pro price, but you commit for a year. If your need is a one-off batch of recordings, a monthly plan you cancel afterwards, or a tool that sells credits without a subscription, usually costs less.
Where FastScribe fits
FastScribe charges by audio duration with credits, not by seat. That matters if you transcribe recordings in bursts rather than every week.
If you need more, FastScribe Pro is $9.90/month or $99.00/year for 2000 credits a month, and one-time credit packages start at $9.90 for 1200 credits, so you can pay per batch of recordings instead of subscribing.
FastScribe does not join meetings. It transcribes recordings you upload and public YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X and Facebook links. If you need a bot that sits in live Zoom, Teams or Meet calls, a meeting assistant is the better fit.
