How InterScribe compares.

Wordly, KUDO, Interprefy, LiveVoice, OneAccord, side by side on what buyers ask in a demo: what an hour really costs, how people listen, who brings the interpreters. One InterScribe hour covers every caption language at once, and the sums below show what that is worth. Including where the others are better.

Good teams don't start with a plan. They start with trust.

Written by InterScribe, so we are not neutral. Every fact about another vendor comes from its own website and names the day we read it. Compare the price per hour

Price per hour, compared fairly

One hour covers every language. Here is what an hour really costs.

From $11.88 an hour (the lowest of our plans at the church and nonprofit price, billed yearly, all 25 hours used). Each vendor's own page works out the sums against that vendor.

  • $11.88 an hour

    Engage, church price, yearly

    $499 × 0.70 × 0.85 = $296.90 a month ÷ 25 h

  • $15.35 an hour

    Community, church price, yearly

    $129 × 0.70 × 0.85 = $76.75 a month ÷ 5 h

  • $19.96 an hour

    Engage, list price

    $499 a month ÷ 25 h

Two ways to buy InterScribe

A monthly plan if you meet every week. Hours you pay for once if you don't. Captions and translation in every supported language are in every hour, on both.

Hours you buy up front stay usable for 12 months. Buying more at once takes a share off the whole purchase: 5 h −5%, 10 h −10%, 25 h −20%.

$39 × 0.70 = $27.30, −20% for 25 h = $21.84 an hour

  • 5 h, church: $25.93 an hour
  • 25 h, church: $21.84 an hour

Vendor facts were read on each vendor's website, last on October 7, 2026, and are worded as the vendor words them. InterScribe's figures come from our live rates.

AI voice

Hear the difference before you buy.

An hour is long. A voice that follows the speaker's rhythm is easy to listen to for all of it; one that reads words out one at a time is tiring by minute ten. Some tools call text-to-speech "voice". Listen before you buy.

  • AI voice

    Natural rhythm

    Phrases flow, pauses fall where the speaker paused, and a question sounds like a question. InterScribe: a natural voice in 83 languages.

  • A phone's built-in text-to-speech

    Robotic rhythm

    Reads the captions word by word in one even tone, in whatever voice the phone has. Still useful: InterScribe includes it as device voice on every plan, at no extra cost.

Ask any vendor to play you their voice in your language before you buy.

  • Human interpreters only

    No platform

    For legal, medical and diplomatic settings where certified interpreters are required. If your interpreters need a booth and an audience that can hear them on their phones, that is where we come in.

    How the interpreter booth works

Picture this

Three demos, one spreadsheet.

For example

  1. Tuesday, 2 p.m.

    Dana runs a regional conference with a French track and a Portuguese track. She has three vendor demos booked this week, and her comparison spreadsheet already disagrees with itself: one price is per hour, one per day, one "on request".

  2. Wednesday

    So she stops comparing feature lists and asks every vendor the same questions, in the same order.

  3. Friday

    The answers that decide it are the ones about price per language, who brings the interpreters, and whether she can hear the voice in her speakers' languages first.

Before you sign

Questions to ask any vendor in a demo.

Including us. Tick them off as you go.

  1. How does a listener join? Do they need an app, an account, or just their phone's camera?
  2. Which languages get a voice, and which only captions? Ask for your exact list, not the total.
  3. Can we use our own interpreters? Where do they sit, what do they need, and can AI cover the other languages at the same time?
  4. What is the price per? Per hour, per day, per language, per listener, per room? What happens to hours we don't use?
  5. Is the price per language or for all languages? Five languages at a per-language rate cost five times one.
  6. Is the voice AI or the phone's text-to-speech? Ask them to play it in your language, then decide.
  7. How does audio get in? From our sound desk, a browser, or a meeting tool? Who sets it up on the day?
  8. How do we teach it our names and terms? Speakers, places, product names, before the day.
  9. What do we get afterwards? Transcripts in which languages and formats, and a summary?
  10. Can we hear it on our own content first? A recording of your speaker tells you more than a polished demo.

Our answers are on our own pages: pricing · interpreters · a sample you can hear

  • On the call · same link
  • In the room · QR code

Zoom, Teams and Meet

Using a meeting tool? Keep it.

InterScribe runs alongside your meeting tool, not instead of it. People on the call open the session link next to the meeting; people in the room scan the QR code. Both follow the same captions, voices and interpreters.

  • The room, the stream and the call follow one session.
  • Captions in 100+ languages, AI voice, or your own interpreters.
  • Each listener picks a language on their own phone or laptop.

Human interpreters and AI

People or AI? Both, in one list.

Several vendors sell either a marketplace of interpreters or AI. With InterScribe your own interpreters work from the booth in a browser, at the venue or from home, and AI voice and captions cover every language nobody is booked for.

Why don't you link to the other vendors?

These pages are our reading of their sites. Each source names the page and the day we read it, so you can find the same page by searching the vendor's name. Prices and features change; check theirs before you decide.

How often do you check these facts?

Every fact names the day it was read. A comparison whose facts are older than six months asks search engines to leave it out until we read the pages again.

What does "Not published" mean?

We could not find the answer on the vendor's site on the day we read it. It may still exist: ask in the demo.

Is InterScribe cheaper?

It depends on what you buy. One hour covers every caption language, so the gap grows with each language you add. Each vendor's own page works out the sums against that vendor. Where a vendor publishes no price, ask for a quote and put it beside ours.

Can we try InterScribe beside our current vendor?

Yes. Talk to us and we will set up a test on a recording of your own speaker, so you can compare on your own phone.
