Questions
Can I use both?
Yes. Podsqueeze is for producing your own show. Podcast To Transcript is for reading episodes.
How were these facts checked?
From the public pages of both tools on November 4, 2026. Plans and prices change, so confirm on their site before you decide.
Which sites does it work on?
Apple Podcasts, Spotify and YouTube videos with captions right away. Turn on all sites in Settings and it also finds episodes on show websites and other players. Episodes that are exclusive to one app cannot be transcribed.
What counts as a minute?
The length of the episode. If anyone already transcribed it with the same model, it opens instantly and uses no minutes.
What happens to my transcripts?
They stay in your history on every device. Remove any of them, or delete your account and everything goes with it.
Can I cancel Pro?
Yes, any time from Plan and billing. Pro stays active until the end of the period you paid for.
