SermonAudio is a sermon hosting and library platform — transcription comes bundled into the Broadcaster plan, plus a one-time signup fee. If you already have the recording and just want it back as text, Sermon-transcription.com skips the hosting commitment entirely: upload a file, get the transcript, outline, discussion questions, blog draft, big idea and closing prayer. One free sermon up to 90 minutes, then $5 first month, then $19/month, cancel anytime.

Different job, different fit — two patterns that come up.
SermonAudio's transcription is a feature of the Broadcaster plan — it comes with sermon hosting and a public library on their network. If you already publish sermons through YouTube, your church website, or another platform, adding a second hosting commitment just to get a transcript is more than the job needs.
SermonAudio's transcripts page doesn't list an outline, discussion questions, or a blog draft. Our Church Plan turns the same upload into the transcript, outline, discussion questions, blog draft, big idea and closing prayer — the Monday-morning work a transcript alone doesn't save you.
We're not trying to win every case.
If your church wants its sermons hosted, searchable, and discoverable inside a dedicated ministry network — with transcription included as part of that — SermonAudio's Broadcaster plan does that job well. The transcript is a feature of the hosting, not a separate purchase.
We don't host anything. If a hosted, searchable sermon library is what you're actually after, that's SermonAudio's core product, not ours.
And nothing stops you from doing both: host on SermonAudio for discovery, then bring the same recording here when you want the outline, discussion questions and blog draft their transcripts page doesn't offer.
Honest answers — including when SermonAudio wins.
