Free during the beta

Every account gets 1,800 seconds (30 minutes) of audio a month, free. The count starts again on the first day of each month (UTC). There is no card to enter and no paid plan yet. If you need more for a pilot, write to us with what you are building.

What counts

Usage is counted in seconds of audio, the same unit for every endpoint: A request that fails counts nothing. The allowance is checked before each request, so the last request of a month can take you a little past it. See where you stand in the console, or in code with GET /v1/usage:
When the month’s allowance is used, requests return 429 quota_exceeded until the next month.

Limits on each request

Every request counts toward the per-minute limit, including one that is refused for a bad body. For longer recordings, cut them into pieces under five minutes (how).
Need a higher rate limit for a launch or a pilot? We can raise it per key. Ask us.
