Pros & Cons

Whisper

  • Free and open source
  • Strong baseline accuracy
  • Large ecosystem
  • Self-hosting needs GPUs
  • No built-in diarisation
  • API deprecation reported

Gemini

  • Deeply integrated across Google’s broader ecosystem (Search, Workspace, Android)
  • Ultra tier pricing was reduced from its original $250/month, improving accessibility
  • API pricing offers genuinely low-cost options (Flash-Lite at $0.10/million tokens) for cost-sensitive applications
  • Full Workspace integration requires at least Business Standard ($14/user/month), not available on cheaper Workspace tiers
  • Credit-based system layered on top of tier usage limits adds complexity to understanding real usage capacity
  • Ultra tier’s $99.99-$199.99/month range represents significant cost for maximum usage limits and Deep Think access
