Pricing Model¶
After the free trial, we use a tiered token pricing model:
Token Pricing Tiers¶
Tier | Token Range | Price per 1,000 tokens |
---|---|---|
1 | 1 - 500,000 | $0.11 |
2 | 500,001 - 2,500,000 | $0.095 |
3 | 2,500,001 - 10,000,000 | $0.08 |
4 | 10,000,001 - 50,000,000 | $0.065 |
5 | 50,000,001+ | $0.05 |
How Pricing Works¶
- Pricing is based on the total number of tokens processed
- Each tier's rate applies only to tokens within that tier's range
- Tokens are counted for both transcription and note generation
- Billing is calculated monthly based on total token usage
Example: If you process 600,000 tokens in a month:
- First 500,000 tokens: $0.11 per 1,000 = $55
- Next 100,000 tokens: $0.095 per 1,000 = $9.50
- Total monthly cost = $64.50

Token Usage Examples¶
Short Visit Note¶
- Average dictation + note ≈ 900 tokens total
- Cost: 900 tokens × $0.11/1000 = $0.099
Long Consultation¶
- Average dictation + note ≈ 2,100 tokens total
- Cost: 2,100 tokens × $0.11/1000 = $0.231
Monthly Usage Example¶
Typical usage of power users (15 consultations/day, 5 days/week):
- 240 short visits: 216,000 tokens (900 × 240)
- 60 long consultations: 126,000 tokens (2,100 × 60)
- Total monthly tokens: 342,000 tokens
- Cost: 342,000 tokens × $0.11/1000 = $37.62/month (Tier 1)
Check Your Usage & Billing¶
- Use the SDK:
client.usage.get()
to retrieve usage & cost breakdown - Or call the endpoint
