SubGrabvsTactiq
Both give you a transcript. They cover very different libraries.
What Tactiq is built for
Tactiq is a Chrome extension built primarily around live meetings — it joins Google Meet, Zoom and Teams and captures the transcript as people speak. It also pulls YouTube transcripts. If your day is meetings, that live capture is genuinely useful and SubGrab does not do it at all.
Side by side
Every Tactiq figure was read from their own pricing page on 7 August 2026.
Where Tactiq beats us
On free tier, clearly. Tactiq gives 10 transcripts every month, forever. SubGrab gives 2 credits once. If you only ever transcribe a few YouTube videos a month and never touch another platform, Tactiq's free plan is simply the better deal and we'd rather say so.
Choose SubGrab if
- Your sources are spread across social and video platforms, not just YouTube
- You transcribe occasionally and resent paying monthly for idle months
- You need SRT or VTT for subtitling, not just plain text
- You want to transcribe a multi-hour stream VOD in one pass
Choose Tactiq if
- Your transcripts come from live Google Meet, Zoom or Teams calls
- You want a recurring free allowance rather than a one-off one
- You transcribe YouTube heavily every month and want a flat fee
- You're happy installing and living in a browser extension
