Rev Freemium

What it is

Rev is a US transcription company that combines AI transcription with a network of human transcribers. It has repositioned its platform around investigative and legal work (case files, depositions, evidence review), but still sells human-verified transcripts, captions and foreign subtitles to video and podcast creators.

Key features

• AI transcription with per-user minute allowances
• Human transcription at 99%+ accuracy, delivered in 12 hours or less
• Human captions (burned-in or files) and global subtitles in many languages
• AI file analysis for summarising and searching recordings
• Legal formatted transcripts (rough draft and premium) priced per page
• Team seats and discounts on human services with a subscription

Pricing and rights

Free: 45 AI minutes and 5 file analyses for one user. Essentials: $29.99 per seat/month, or $25.49 billed annually ($305.90/year), with 5,000 AI minutes per user, English (or English and Spanish) and 10% off human services on annual plans. Pro: $59.99 per seat/month, or $47.99 annually ($575.88/year), with 10,000 AI minutes, 37+ languages and up to 15% off human services. Unlimited is custom. Human transcription and human captions start at $1.99/min; foreign subtitles cost $6.49-$15.99/min depending on language. Legal transcripts cost $2.25-$2.50 per page.

Who it is for

Creators and companies that need guaranteed-accuracy English transcripts and captions, and legal or investigative teams handling recorded evidence. Creators who only need occasional human captions can order them one by one without a subscription, and use the free AI minutes for drafts.

Verdict

Rev is still a safe choice when you need human-checked English captions, and its per-minute human pricing is clear. The subscription plans now target legal and investigative users, the low tiers are limited to English or Spanish, and foreign subtitles are expensive compared with AI-only tools.
