Billing gotchas to check before switching
Hidden billing gotchas
- Extra minutes are prepaid Pay As You Go top-ups ($5 minimum). If the balance hits $0 with Auto Top Up off, service pauses immediately, and top-up credits expire after 12 months.
- Credits are one pool across every product: text to speech costs 1 credit per character on the Multilingual v2 model, and speech to text, dubbing and music draw from the same credits. Regenerating a take uses credits again.
- Unused plan credits roll over for up to 2 months (at most 3× the monthly quota) and are lost on downgrade or cancellation.
- The free plan (10k credits, about 10 minutes) has no commercial licence; commercial use starts on Starter.
