Is WhisperAI cheaper than Sonix?

It depends on volume. Sonix bills per hour (or via a subscription that lowers the per-hour rate). WhisperAI is flat-rate unlimited. For light, occasional use Sonix can be cheaper; for steady heavier use WhisperAI's unlimited plans usually come in significantly lower.

Does WhisperAI burn subtitles into video like Sonix?

No. WhisperAI exports SRT and VTT subtitle files; you'd burn them into the video in a video editor (DaVinci, Premiere, CapCut). Sonix can burn captions directly into the rendered video, which is a real advantage for social-cut workflows.

Can Sonix translate subtitles into multiple languages at once?

Yes — Sonix supports translated subtitle output (SRT/VTT) across many language pairs in a single job. WhisperAI focuses on the transcript itself and translation to English; for multi-language subtitle localization at scale, Sonix has the more direct workflow.

Which is better for non-English audio?

WhisperAI covers 100+ languages via Whisper large-v3; Sonix covers around 50. Both produce strong results for the major languages they both support. WhisperAI wins on long-tail language coverage.

Does Sonix have a transcript editor and does WhisperAI match it?

Sonix's editor is one of the strongest in the category — synced playback, multi-folder search, collaborative comments. WhisperAI has a functional editor but does not match Sonix feature-for-feature.

Does WhisperAI burn translated subtitles into video?

No. WhisperAI exports SRT/VTT subtitle files; you'd render them onto the video in a video editor. Sonix offers translated subtitle output across many language pairs and can burn captions directly — the more direct workflow for multi-language social cuts.
