Orange vs Verbit
Verbit
AI
Transcription and captioning combining automatic speech recognition with professional human correction
- From
- $24/month
- Free plan
- No
The short version
- Only Orange has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
- Each has a real cost: Orange orange is licensed under the GNU General Public License version 3, so distributing modified or derived software requires releasing the source under the GPL; Verbit only a small self-service tier has a published price; the institutional plans that most education buyers actually need are quoted, so budgeting requires a sales cycle and comparison against competitors requires several.
- They diverge on capability: Orange covers Visual programming, Verbit covers ASR with human correction.
- Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

What people use each for
The jobs each tool is most often brought in to do.
Orange
- Visual programming for data mining and machine learning workflowsnot Verbit
- Teaching data science without writing codenot Verbit
- Exploratory data visualisation and clustering on tabular datanot Verbit
Verbit
- A university that must caption recorded teaching to meet accessibility law and wants machine output for general content with human correction only where a student accommodation appliesnot Orange
- A broadcaster needing live realtime captioning to regulatory standard, which the VITAC operation supplies rather than a pure software vendornot Orange
- A law firm or court reporting operation needing certified transcripts of depositions with a defensible chain of accuracynot Orange
- A market research team transcribing focus groups where speaker separation and verbatim fidelity matter more than turnaround speednot Orange
Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Orange
- Orange is licensed under the GNU General Public License version 3, so distributing modified or derived software requires releasing the source under the GPL
- The widgets and canvas are built on Qt, which is itself distributed under GPL 3.0
- Orange add-ons may carry additional licensing requirements set in their own licence files
- Documentation and website content are under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike, which imposes an attribution and share-alike obligation on reuse
- The software is distributed without any warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose
Verbit
- Only a small self-service tier has a published price; the institutional plans that most education buyers actually need are quoted, so budgeting requires a sales cycle and comparison against competitors requires several.
- Accuracy claims are benchmarked on clean audio with standard accents, and real lecture theatre recordings with technical vocabulary and non-native speakers fall well short, so the contracted level and the audio assumptions behind it must be written into the agreement.
- The human correction layer is what delivers the accuracy institutions buy, and it introduces turnaround times measured in hours or days, which does not suit anyone expecting transcripts immediately after a session.
- Cost scales with hours of content, so an institution that recorded everything during remote teaching and never reduced the volume can find transcription costing more than the lecture capture platform generating the recordings.
- Verbit has grown by acquisition and consolidated several transcription brands, and customers of acquired services have been migrated onto Verbit contracts and pricing on the acquirer's timetable rather than their own.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Orange: What is the cost of Orange Data Mining?
Orange Data Mining is free open-source software available for Windows, Mac, and other platforms. There are no subscription fees, licensing costs, or paid tiers.
SourceVerbit: Is there published pricing?
Only for the entry Standard tier at around $24 a month for 100 hours split between live and post-production. Campus Complete and the legal and media unlimited plans are quoted.
Orange: How is Orange Data Mining funded?
Orange Data Mining is supported through optional voluntary donations. The project encourages donations from users who value the software to support bug fixes, new features, educational content, and infrastructure maintenance.
SourceVerbit: What accuracy does Verbit deliver?
Machine-only output is materially less accurate than the corrected tiers. Accuracy is a contracted service level on the human-corrected plans, and it assumes reasonable audio quality. Negotiate the figure and the remedy, not the marketing number.
Verbit: What is VITAC?
A large North American broadcast captioning business Verbit acquired in 2021. It is why Verbit can supply live realtime captioning at broadcast standard rather than only post-production transcripts.
Verbit: Can I mix machine and human transcription?
Yes, and it is the main reason education buyers choose Verbit: route routine content through machine processing and accommodation-covered content through human correction on the same account.
