Genuinely Free — Not a Trial, Not an Email-Gated Freemium

'Free video transcription' is a phrase that gets used very loosely. Most tools labeled 'free' turn out to be: a 14-day trial that requires a credit card upfront, an email-gated freemium that captures your details before showing results, or a downgraded demo of a paid product. This one isn't like that. No credit card — ever. No account creation — not even email. The free tier is 2 videos per paste, unlimited pastes per day, no watermark on the output, no trial expiry, no feature locked behind 'sign up to reveal'. The Pro tier ($10/mo) unlocks bigger batches (10 videos per paste) and a cross-video AI summary — but only if you want those specifically.

How It Works

1.Go to the tool. No signup page, no email field, no 'welcome tour' in the way.
2.Paste any TikTok, YouTube, or Instagram URL. No modal asks 'before you continue, please...'
3.Get the full transcript on the page. Copy it. Done. No upsell interstitial between you and your text.

Why Use This Tool?

✓Zero account friction — no email capture, no 'confirm your account' email
✓No credit card on file — Pro upgrade is explicit and separate, never auto-converts from free
✓No feature walls — output is the same quality on free and Pro (just smaller batch size)
✓No silent data harvesting — free users aren't converted into a marketing database
✓No trial expiry — free has been free since day one and isn't changing

Use Cases

—Personal projects where signing up for yet another SaaS account is too much friction
—One-time transcription needs where a subscription is absurd overkill
—Testing the tool quality before considering the paid tier — the free tier IS the real tool
—Privacy-conscious users who don't want to hand over an email for a one-shot utility
—Low-volume users (student / hobbyist / solo) who would never pay but still want decent tools

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to give you my email to use the free tier?

No. There's no email field, no signup form, no 'create an account to continue' step. Paste URL → get transcript. The only time email is requested is if you're upgrading to Pro (because billing needs an email for receipts).

Is this a 'free trial' that converts to paid automatically?

No. Free is permanent free, not a trial. Pro is a separate, explicit monthly subscription you have to choose to start. No credit card is requested on the free tier, so there's nothing to auto-charge.

Why is this free — what's the catch?

Short version: Pro subscriptions and API access pay for the infrastructure. Free users are the tool's front door — some eventually convert to Pro when they need batch mode, and most don't, which is fine. No dark pattern is funding the free tier.

Will you start charging for what's currently free later?

The 2-videos-per-paste free tier is a commitment. Pricing on Pro has changed over time but the free tier's scope hasn't contracted. Anything that's free today stays free for existing users.

What data do you collect when I use the free tier?

Basic analytics (page views, aggregated usage stats) via standard web analytics. The video URLs you paste aren't stored as user-associated data since there's no user — no account means no per-user data to link to.
