Which one should you use?

Choose TranscriptFetch if

  • Faster on every platform: The median transcript came back 5x faster on YouTube, 14x faster on TikTok and 3x faster on Instagram in our test, and YouTube videos over an hour took 1.2 s against 11.5 s.

  • More transcripts back: On TikTok and Instagram, where many videos have no captions, TranscriptFetch returned 118 and 118 of 120 against Supadata's 108 and 96.

  • Lower audio-transcription credit cost: Many of your videos have no captions. AI transcription costs 1 credit per started 5 minutes of audio, so an hour of audio is 12 credits here and 120 on Supadata.

  • Monthly plans and rollover: You want to pay monthly from $5 for 1,000 credits. Unused credits roll over, up to 2 months' worth.

Choose Supadata if

  • Additional video platforms: You need X (Twitter) or Facebook videos. TranscriptFetch covers YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and direct media file URLs.

  • Broader data tools: You want web scraping, crawling, translation or AI data extraction from the same account.

  • No-code integrations: You build in Zapier, Make or ActivePieces, where Supadata has native integrations.

  • Larger free allowance: Your usage fits a free tier: Supadata gives 100 credits a month, TranscriptFetch gives 50.

Our methodology

On 28 September 2026, we tested 360 videos: 120 each from YouTube, TikTok and Instagram. Each URL went to both APIs at the same time from the same server, using Supadata's paid Pro plan. YouTube used existing captions; TikTok and Instagram allowed AI fallback.

We counted transcripts across all attempts and compared response times only where both APIs returned a transcript. This is our own benchmark, run on one day from one server. The code and raw results are public so you can check or repeat the test.

Full test setup and limitations
  • Videos: 120 YouTube videos, 120 TikToks and 120 Instagram Reels, the first ten results of 12 or 13 keyword searches per platform (tutorials, podcasts, lectures, news, reviews, cooking, finance and more, in English, French and Spanish). The YouTube searches asked for videos with captions. Nothing was picked or dropped based on how either API handled it.
  • For each URL both APIs were called at the same instant, one URL at a time, from the same server (Warrenton Virginia US / AS16276 OVH SAS). Async jobs were polled every 1 s on both sides, and each request had 5 minutes to finish. There were no retries.
  • TranscriptFetch: POST /api/v2/transcripts/video. Supadata: GET /v1/transcript, on its paid Pro plan. On YouTube both were asked for existing captions only; on TikTok and Instagram both were asked for any transcript, so either could fall back to AI transcription.
  • On YouTube our side also bypassed our own cache, so every answer was a fresh fetch. Supadata has no public cache control, so some of its answers may have come from its cache.
  • Network: 5 idle round trips from the same server: api.supadata.ai/v1/me 94-174 ms, transcriptfetch.com/api/v2/health 142-448 ms.
  • Each API picks its own default caption track when no language is requested, so we compared speed and success, not which language came back.

Left out

  • 51 URLs that either API had already been sent earlier that day (an earlier run and a smoke test) were excluded from the corpus, so neither side could answer them from a cache we had warmed.

This is one day, one server and requests in sequence, run by one of the two vendors, against Supadata's Pro plan. Instagram was paused for about 30 minutes mid-run while we fixed a bug in our own scraper that the run exposed; the repository explains it. The next section shows how to rerun everything from your own machine.

Rerun it yourself

The script, all 360 URLs and every raw measurement are public. It needs only Node.js and your own API keys, so you can check these numbers from your own machine, region and plan.

Same videos, same moment, both APIs

On 28 September 2026 we sent 360 videos to both APIs at the same moment, one video at a time. On YouTube both were asked for existing captions only; on TikTok and Instagram both were asked for any transcript, so either could transcribe the audio with AI when a video had no captions.

  • On paid TranscriptFetch plans, unused credits roll over, up to 2 months' worth. Supadata's pricing page says credits do not roll over to the next month.
  • Supadata's batch, translation and crawl endpoints need its Pro plan or above. TranscriptFetch batch requests work on every plan, free included.
  • Failed requests cost nothing on TranscriptFetch.
AI fallback

Videos without captions

When a video has no captions, both can transcribe the audio with AI. TranscriptFetch charges 1 credit per started 5 minutes of audio; Supadata charges 2 credits per minute of audio.

Switching

Moving a request over

For transcripts the switch is one request with a different shape.

  • The response carries timestamped segments by default; send "timestamps": false for one joined text string instead.
  • When a video has no captions, TranscriptFetch starts AI transcription on its own and answers 202 with a job to poll, or POSTs the result to your callback_url. Send "mode": "captions" if you never want audio transcribed.

Questions

FAQ

Is TranscriptFetch a drop-in replacement for Supadata?

Not byte for byte: the endpoint and field names differ. For transcripts the switch is one request, shown above, and both APIs return the text with timestamps. If you also use Supadata for web scraping, X or Facebook, keep it for those.

How much faster is TranscriptFetch than Supadata?

In our 28 September 2026 test on 360 videos, the median response was 1.1 s against 5.4 s on YouTube, 1.3 s against 18.4 s on TikTok and 5.9 s against 19.9 s on Instagram. Supadata was on its paid Pro plan. The method is on this page, and the script and raw data are on GitHub so you can rerun it.

Is TranscriptFetch cheaper than Supadata?

For caption transcripts, the cheapest TranscriptFetch plan costs less at every monthly volume in the pricing selector above, and it is billed monthly. For videos without captions the gap is wider: 1 credit per started 5 minutes of audio against Supadata's 2 credits per minute of audio.

Does TranscriptFetch support X (Twitter) or Facebook videos?

No. TranscriptFetch covers YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and direct media file URLs. Supadata also covers X and Facebook.

On TranscriptFetch paid plans, yes. Unused credits roll over, up to 2 months' worth. Supadata's pricing page says credits do not roll over.
