# Transcript vs ContractorPass

The clearest difference is monetization model: Transcript at free with in-app purchases against ContractorPass's subscription. Transcript also leads on ratings volume (395 vs 1). ContractorPass's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Transcript sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month and ContractorPass sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $24.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ContractorPass holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Transcript has 395 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Transcript ships an update every 3 weeks, ContractorPass every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
