SpeakNotes API pricing
One credit is one started minute of media. Everything else is priced against that, so a single number explains the whole bill.
Monthly credits
Every account gets a grant that resets each month and does not roll over. Sandbox keys are free and unlimited: they never touch the balance.
Free
60
credits a month
Pro
2,000

Buying more
Credits are prepaid and never expire. Prepaid rather than metered on purpose: an agent stuck in a retry loop cannot run up an unbounded bill on your card.
Checking the balance
GET /v1/usage returns the balance, what has been spent this period, and recent charges. Every response that costs credits also carries X-Credits-Remaining, so an agent can decide whether to start a long job.
