API pricing

Pay for what you use. Never for failures.

Transparent, usage-based pricing for the all-in-one audio API. One wallet, every capability — credits never expire and a failed job is never charged.

The wedge

Pricing built for builders, not surprises.

The fairest economics in audio AI — designed so experimenting costs nothing and production stays predictable.

No card to start

Create a key and get $1 of free API credit on your first key. Build before you pay.

Never pay for failures

Every job is prepaid and refunded automatically if processing fails. You only pay for output.

Credits never expire

Top up your API wallet once; the balance carries forever. No monthly reset, no use-it-or-lose-it.

One key, six capabilities

Speech, transcription, music, stems, voices and more — billed from a single wallet, no per-product contracts.

Rates

Usage pricing, by capability.

Audio is billed per minute processed; speech per 1,000 characters of text. Deducted from your prepaid API wallet. No tiers to decode, no seats, no minimums.

Calculator

Estimate your bill in seconds.

Enter the minutes of audio, or the words of text for speech, you expect per month. Live rates, no signup.

Stem prices add by output group. Enter the same source minutes for each group you need. One or both outputs in a vocal pair share its price; lead + rhythm guitar share one specialist group. Studio credits and the developer API wallet are separate. API rates are in USD, not a conversion of Studio credits.

Estimate your monthly bill

Enter the minutes of audio you expect to process per month, and the text you expect to turn into speech.
