FAQ

How does billing work?

Your $10/month plan includes 50 hours. Use them for Speech-to-Text (1 hour of audio = 1 hour used) or Text-to-Speech (about 67,000 characters = 1 hour). Use any combination.

What happens if I exceed 50 hours?

Additional usage is billed at $0.25 per hour, automatically added to your next invoice via Stripe.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Cancel from your dashboard at any time. You keep access until the end of your billing period. No phone call, no sales team, no retention script.

Is the $1 first month a trial?

No — it's your first real month. All features included, 50 hours of quota. After that it's $10/mo.

Do hidden fees kick in at scale?

No. $10/month includes 50 hours. Anything past that bills at a flat $0.25/hr. No tiered pricing, no enterprise up-sell, no per-feature surcharges. If you want the full cost comparison at scale, read our breakdown of the real cost of speech-to-text APIs.
