The short version
- Each has a real cost: LOVO the vendor's own pricing page as captured by the Internet Archive on 6 December 2022 listed LOVO Studio at three tiers in US dollars: Free at $0 with 3 downloads per month and 3 day access to premium voices for personal use only; Personal at $17.99 per month paid annually (or $25.99 paid monthly, both promotionally discounted from $34.99/$49.99) capped at 15,000 characters per download and up to 30 downloads per month with commercial rights; and Freelancer at $99.99 per month paid annually (or $149.99 paid monthly) with up to 100 downloads per month and commercial rights; API pricing required a custom quote; Rev human transcription at 1.99 US dollars a minute means roughly 120 dollars an hour of audio, so a long-form interview series costs more in transcription than most teams assume before they run the arithmetic.

Rev
- A law firm that needs a deposition transcript in a court-acceptable page format with a fixed turnaround and a published per-page price it can bill to a matter.not LOVO
- A documentary or podcast producer costing a project in advance, because human transcription at a published per-minute rate makes the transcription line item a known number.not LOVO
- A broadcaster needing compliant human captions rather than machine captions, where accuracy is a regulatory requirement and not a convenience.not LOVO
- A team with high AI volume and occasional high-stakes files, using the subscription for the bulk and paying the discounted human rate only where accuracy matters.not LOVO

LOVO
- The vendor's own pricing page as captured by the Internet Archive on 6 December 2022 listed LOVO Studio at three tiers in US dollars: Free at $0 with 3 downloads per month and 3 day access to premium voices for personal use only; Personal at $17.99 per month paid annually (or $25.99 paid monthly, both promotionally discounted from $34.99/$49.99) capped at 15,000 characters per download and up to 30 downloads per month with commercial rights; and Freelancer at $99.99 per month paid annually (or $149.99 paid monthly) with up to 100 downloads per month and commercial rights; API pricing required a custom quote
Rev
- Human transcription at 1.99 US dollars a minute means roughly 120 dollars an hour of audio, so a long-form interview series costs more in transcription than most teams assume before they run the arithmetic.
- AI minutes are allocated per seat per month and do not roll over, so bursty workloads, which is how most media production actually behaves, waste allowance in quiet months and run out in busy ones.
- The product direction has moved towards legal and investigative use, so a newsroom or media buyer is choosing a tool whose roadmap priority sits elsewhere.
- Foreign-language subtitles are priced from 6.49 to 15.99 US dollars per minute, an order of magnitude above transcription, which makes multi-language localisation of any volume of video expensive enough to change the plan.
- Human turnaround is stated in hours rather than guaranteed contractually on the published plans, so a hard broadcast or filing deadline needs an agreement beyond the standard terms.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Rev: How much is human transcription?
1.99 US dollars per minute with a stated accuracy target above 99 per cent, typically returned within 12 hours. Subscribers get 10 to 15 per cent off.
Rev: Is there a free tier?
Yes, 45 AI minutes per month and up to 5 files analysed, with no human transcription included.
Rev: Do unused AI minutes roll over?
No. The allowance is per seat per month and resets, which penalises irregular workloads.
Rev: Can it do subtitles in other languages?
Yes, across seventeen languages, priced from 6.49 to 15.99 US dollars per minute, considerably more than transcription.
Rev: Is Rev still a good choice for newsrooms?
It works, but the subscription tiers are now positioned around legal and investigative workflows, so a newsroom should compare it against a tool built specifically for journalism.
