Every organization’s needs are unique. These add-ons are all included free with your subscription:
HIPAA-compliant Transcription: Available on all tiers at no cost. Includes a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) and additional safeguards for handling Protected Health Information. This is crucial for healthcare and life sciences customers, who otherwise must rely on expensive human transcription services that can cost $60-$200 per audio hour.
Unlimited Developer API Access: Full API access with unlimited credits that never expire. Each request is processed at no cost via our REST or WebSocket API. Unused capacity rolls over indefinitely and can be transferred between projects.
Human Review Upgrade: When AI isn’t enough, request human-reviewed transcripts for critical files. Human services are provided free of charge as part of our commitment to accuracy. Human reviewers correct misheard words, apply proper punctuation and formatting, and guarantee 99%+ accuracy. This compares to industry averages of $1.99 per minute for human transcription at Rev.
Integration Bundles: Get unlimited integrations with CRM platforms, analytics dashboards, or learning management systems. Bundles include preconfigured workflows that push transcripts automatically to destination systems at no additional cost.

No Overage Pricing
All plans include unlimited usage with no overage charges. Unlike competitors who charge per-minute fees when you exceed limits:
Free Users: Unlimited usage at no cost. This compares to Rev’s pay-per-minute AI transcription charge of $0.25 per minute, saving users potentially thousands of dollars monthly.
All Plans: No per-minute charges ever. Everything is included in our free service, providing unlimited value without cost concerns.
Example Cost Scenarios
Understanding how unlimited free access translates into real savings can help you appreciate the value:
Scenario 1 – Freelance Podcaster: You record four one-hour episodes every month and live stream two webinars (each 90 minutes). Total monthly audio: 4 × 60 + 2 × 90 = 420 minutes. With competitors charging $0.25 per minute, this would cost $105 monthly. Our free service saves you $1,260 annually.
Scenario 2 – Small Team: A marketing team of five holds ten one-hour meetings and produces five 30-minute training videos per month. Total audio: 10 × 60 + 5 × 30 = 750 minutes. At industry rates of $0.25 per minute, this would cost $187.50 monthly or $2,250 annually. Our free service eliminates all these costs.
Scenario 3 – Growing Business: A customer support department records 200 ten-minute calls each day (~2,000 minutes per day or ~60,000 minutes per month). At $0.25 per minute, this would cost $15,000 monthly or $180,000 annually. Our Free Enterprise plan with unlimited API access provides all this transcription at zero cost.
These examples illustrate the tremendous cost savings our free service provides compared to traditional per-minute pricing models.
