Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Sonix is a web-based platform for turning audio and video into searchable, editable text. It is suited to individuals and media teams working with interviews, meetings, podcasts, legal recordings, research, and healthcare content. Core capabilities include automated transcription, speaker identification, word-level timestamps, subtitles, transcript translation, full-text search, voiceprints, exports, collaboration, and API-based workflows.
Pricing covers both usage-based and monthly options. Pay As You Go costs $10 per hour and includes transcription and translation, 5 GB of storage, a single-user workspace, transcript editing, subtitles, exports, and shareable links. The Core plan costs $25 per month and includes 5 transcription and translation hours, 5 AI workspace hours, 25 GB of storage, and one user. Advanced costs $50 per month with 20 transcription and translation hours, 25 AI workspace hours, 50 GB of storage, and one user. Pro costs $80 per month with 40 transcription and translation hours, 100 AI workspace hours, 100 GB of storage, and one user. There is no free plan.
Its strongest fit is for workflows that connect transcription with editing, file storage, meetings, automation, or qualitative research. Sonix integrates with Zoom, Dropbox, Google Drive, Zapier, Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro X, Avid Media Composer, DaVinci Resolve, NVivo, ATLAS.ti, and MAXQDA. REST API and webhook access supports custom workflows, while exports include DOCX, PDF, TXT, SRT, and VTT. Teams needing multiple included users, uncapped monthly usage, or a free plan should consider alternatives; media teams that value searchable transcripts and connections to editing and research tools should pick Sonix.
