ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Youtube Transcripts holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.9.

Written reviews complicate that: 44% of Youtube Transcripts's written reviews are positive against 100% of Video Summarize AI for YouTube's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Youtube Transcripts ships an update every 2 weeks, Video Summarize AI for YouTube every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
