Why this one

You pay only for transcripts delivered. Videos without captions, private or removed videos are returned with a status and are not charged.
Reliable. Automatic fallback to residential IPs when YouTube shows its "confirm you're not a bot" wall. In our tests: 12/12 videos with captions succeeded.
Any language. Pick your preferred languages in order; creator-made captions are preferred over auto-generated ones (configurable). Every result lists all available caption languages.
Any link format. watch?v=, youtu.be/, shorts/, live/, embed/ or a plain 11-character video ID.
Fast. Videos are processed in parallel: 14 links took ~23 seconds.
