Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our pricing and billing.

How is usage calculated?

We bill per minute of audio processed, rounded to the nearest second. The timer starts when audio processing begins and stops when the session ends.

Are there any setup fees?

No setup fees, no monthly minimums, no hidden charges. You only pay for the audio you process. Start with free credits to test the service.

How do volume discounts work?

Volume discounts are applied automatically based on your monthly usage. The more you process, the lower your per-minute rate becomes.

Can I get custom pricing?

Yes! For high-volume usage (1M+ minutes/month) or specific enterprise requirements, we offer custom pricing. Contact our sales team for details.
