YtBulkTranscript solves a problem most transcript tools ignore: getting captions for hundreds of videos at once. Instead of copy-pasting URLs one by one, you enter a channel handle (e.g. @veritasium) or playlist link, preview the video list, and receive every transcript as a ZIP archive of plain-text files — with or without timestamps. The pricing model is deliberately different from the subscription-heavy competition: single-video transcripts are completely free and require no account, and bulk extraction runs on one-time credit packs starting at $2.99. Credits never expire and there's no auto-renewal — you pay once and use them whenever you need. For developers and AI workflows, YtBulkTranscript offers a REST API and an MCP server that works out of the box with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and Cursor — letting AI assistants pull YouTube transcripts directly into a conversation. There's no technical limit on channel size; you can queue an entire channel no matter how large. The tool fetches whatever captions YouTube provides — manual or auto-generated, in any language YouTube offers, including auto-translated tracks.
