Free vs Pro pricing path
Upgrade decision
Use the free plugin when you mainly need transcript exposure. Move to Pro when you need richer formatting, finer output control, and a cleaner presentation path for commercial pages.
The shortest honest summary
- Free already covers the core publication model and starts at $0 on WordPress.org.
- Pro extends how the transcript block can be styled, structured, and presented.
- The exact live Pro billing amount is shown at checkout so this page does not freeze an outdated number.
What the free plugin already gives you
Video host support
You can work with YouTube and Vimeo instead of being limited to a single source.
Transcript association
Each video can stay tied to transcript text instead of living as an isolated embed.
HTML in the page
The point of the product starts here: the transcript becomes readable page content.
What Pro is for
Pro path
Choose Pro when transcript presentation becomes part of the product experience.
The public plugin material and screenshots point to a more flexible formatting path in Pro, especially when headings, links, richer transcript structure, and cleaner block presentation matter.
- Richer transcript formatting and editor flexibility
- More refined output controls for excerpt, title, and presentation
- Better fit for product pages, support pages, and commercial use cases
