Sonix plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pay As You Go | $10/month | 3 | Entry tier |
| Core | $25/month | 4 | +$15/month, 4 more features |
| Advanced | $50/month | 4 | +$25/month, 3 more features |
| Pro | $80/month | 4 | +$30/month, 3 more features |
| Enterprise | On request | 3 | Priced on request |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

People bring Sonix in for a journalist transcribing interviews in several languages who needs the transcript searchable and quotable within minutes rather than accurate to a contract, a qualitative research team coding focus group transcripts, where speaker separation and an editable transcript matter more than a certified accuracy figure, a podcast producer generating subtitle files and show notes from each episode without adding a human transcription supplier, a small documentary team subtitling foreign-language footage where transcription and translation in one tool avoids a second vendor. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Sonix are worth a look before you commit to a tier.

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the Sonix badges page.
Before you pay for Sonix
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 5 tiers between $10/month and On request, with the jump itemised above. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare Sonix against the tools that do have one before committing.
Sonix runs on web, api, and is published by Sonix, Inc. of San Francisco, California, United States. The full record is on the Sonix review, and the rest of the category is under best translation tools.
