Bulk YouTube Transcript Downloader for Channels and Playlists
Download YouTube transcripts from one video, a playlist or a whole channel — TXT, SRT, Markdown, JSON or one AI-ready file.
In plain English
BulkTranscripts is a website for people who need lots of YouTube transcripts at once. You paste a video, playlist or channel link, and it pulls the captions into text, subtitle or AI-ready files. Researchers, agencies and AI builders pay a monthly plan when free limits are not enough. The software does the fetching and formatting, while the founder keeps the downloader working when YouTube changes.

Realistic income
Starter Story (checked Nov 5, 2026) lists about ~$950/mo as of Oct 2026, triangulated from public sources. That is operator-reported / third-party research, not a TrustMRR-verified Stripe number. This is one operator’s result, often after months or years of work, and doesn’t predict yours. Check the live source — numbers change.
Risks
- YouTube can change caption access or block scrapers at any time.
- Many free single-video transcript sites compete on the low end.
- Rights: users must only download captions they have a right to use.
- Startup cost and time to first dollar are not disclosed.
*Income figures are illustrative ranges based on public pricing and typical outcomes reported by practitioners, not guarantees. Most new online businesses earn little or nothing at first. Not financial, legal or tax advice.
