MalcolmCC™ › Rev alternative

A cheaper Rev alternative

If you're captioning your own video and Rev's per-minute pricing adds up fast, MalcolmCC does the same core job — perfectly timed WebVTT captions with a real editor — at $6 per hour of media with $0 upfront, and it can caption straight from your own script.

Where MalcolmCC is different

• Caption from your own script. Bring an approved script and it becomes the caption text, word-for-word. MalcolmCC transcribes your audio to time each line precisely, but the words stay exactly yours — not a machine transcript you have to fix. How that works →
• Pay-as-you-go. $0 upfront and $0 in months you don't caption — you're billed for the minutes you actually transcribe, not prepaid credits that expire.
• Silence detection. See exactly where the audio goes quiet, so cues land against real pauses to aid in perfect cue placement.
• Remote media. Caption a file that already lives on a public URL.
• All features on every plan.

Where they're similar

Both give you AI transcription, a caption editor with timing control, and standard caption file export. If all you need is a quick automated transcript, either will do it — MalcolmCC just does it for less, with more capabilities.
