OnlyFlights's answer

You should choose OnlyFlights over other apps because it’s fast, private, and stress-free. Unlike some flight apps, it doesn’t ask you to create an account or show you annoying ads. It gives you just what you need - like real-time flight updates, delay alerts, and a clean travel log - without any extra clutter. Plus, it’s really affordable if you want to track more than two flights. Perfect for travelers who want a simple tool that just works.

TranscriptFetch's answer:

Three reasons. Coverage: one API key and one response shape across five video platforms and the open web, instead of stitching together a library per platform. Reliability: requests run through rotating infrastructure, so code that works locally keeps working from a server, which is where most open-source approaches break. Billing that matches reality: one credit per successful response, with failed, blocked and empty results never charged. That last point matters on short-form video, where a meaningful share of any batch is music with no speech in it. There is also an MCP server, so AI agents can fetch transcripts as a tool without a custom integration.

OnlyFlights's answer

OnlyFlights is unique because it’s super simple and easy to use. You don’t need to sign up or deal with ads, and it doesn’t track your data. It focuses only on flight tracking, with clean design and useful features like live flight alerts, a countdown to your next flight, and a travel history log. It’s made for people who just want to track flights without any extra noise.

TranscriptFetch's answer:

Most short-form video has no caption track to download. TikTok’s auto-captions are opt-in per upload, Instagram never publishes a downloadable track, and many captions on both are burned into the video frames where no parser can read them. TranscriptFetch transcribes the audio when no caption track exists, on the same endpoint, with the same response shape. Your code never branches on which method produced the text. It also covers YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X and Facebook plus any web page as clean Markdown, so a pipeline spanning several sources is one integration rather than five.

OnlyFlights's answer

The primary audience for OnlyFlights is travelers who want a simple and reliable way to track their flights. This includes frequent flyers, casual travelers, flight crews, and even people picking someone up from the airport. These travelers care about staying updated but don’t want to deal with ads, sign-ups, or complicated apps.

TranscriptFetch's answer:

Developers and technical teams building on video and web content. The common cases are RAG and retrieval pipelines that need video as text, AI agents that need to read a link mid-conversation, content teams repurposing short-form video at scale, and media monitoring and research tools. It is an API first, so the buyer is usually the person writing the integration rather than an end user. The free browser tools exist for one-off transcripts and for evaluating output quality before writing any code.

OnlyFlights's answer

The story behind OnlyFlights started with Kate and Alex, the creators of the Time2Pack app. At first, they added a flight tracking feature inside Time2Pack, just to help travelers stay more organized. But soon, users began asking for a separate app that focused only on flight tracking. So, after getting lots of feedback, they decided to build OnlyFlights as a standalone app - simple, focused, and designed just for tracking flights without distractions.

TranscriptFetch's answer:

It started with discovering there is no good way to get the text of a video. YouTube’s official Data API will confirm a caption track exists and then refuse to hand it over, because captions.download requires the video owner’s OAuth token. The popular open-source libraries work until you deploy them, at which point platforms start refusing datacenter IPs. And YouTube is the easy case: TikTok and Instagram publish no caption file at all. Every workaround solved one platform, worked locally, and broke in production. TranscriptFetch is the version that handles the failure cases as first-class behaviour rather than edge cases.

Next.js with TypeScript and Tailwind on the front end and API layer, Clerk for auth with SHA-256 hashed API keys, Neon Postgres with Drizzle ORM, Redis for caching, and Stripe for billing. The extraction layer is a Python and FastAPI service. Speech-to-text uses Whisper-class models. The MCP server is published in the official Model Context Protocol registry with a DNS-verified namespace.
