Pro plan (subscription) gives you 5 hours of server based transcription time per month (so if you need more hours you can buy them the usual way) and unlimited transcription time for realtime voice recorder transcriptions.
Price depends on billing cycle: $12.99 in case of monthly subscription, $99.99 for yearly subscription.

As much as we would love to give our users unlimited transcriptions it’s not possible financially because every transcription still costs us via server maintenance and usage time.
So what Pro plan gives you:
● Best transcription accuracy - we use more sophisticated translation models for our subscribers
● Unlimited real-time transcription via voice recording in the app
● 5 hours of server transcription time, they automatically added to your account each month and transfers next month (if not used)
● Ability to edit transcriptions in web browser
● Ability to export transcriptions to a number of popular formats (like MS Word, Docx, SRT, etc)
● Your files won’t get deleted from server 2 weeks after uploading

You can cancel the subscription in the app settings -> Transcribe Pro -> Manage Subscription. Look for our app in the list and cancel the subscription. Or refer to this guide on how to cancel a subscription on iOS:
