Productivity & writing · alternatives
VidiRelay suits one-off transcript jobs, and its limits push some users to subscriptions. Only public video links work (private and local network links are rejected), purchased credits expire after 12 months, billing rounds up per started 10-minute block, and an account is required.
Two alternatives are in the catalog, both subscription-based. Descript has a free tier and Hobbyist at $16 per editor per month billed annually ($24 monthly), with 600 media minutes a month and transcript-based editing, which helps if you want to edit the media and not only copy the text. Otter.ai has a free tier and Pro at $16.99 per user per month ($8.49 billed annually), with 1,200 in-app recording minutes and 10 file imports a month, aimed at meetings; the import cap is tight if you batch many files, where VidiRelay can take up to 50 links at once.
