Starter pricing is $0.61 an hour for asynchronous transcription and $0.75 for real-time audio.\n\n**Rev AI Speech-to-Text API.** Reverb English at $0.20 an hour, foreign languages at $0.30. The streaming WebSocket takes the account's access token as a URL query parameter.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Gladia Speech-to-Text API + MCP\n\n1. Don't resubmit a pre-recorded job after a 200 or a `transcription.created` webhook. It's already queued\n2. Pick `solaria-3` only for async EN, FR, DE, ES or IT audio. Anything live or multilingual needs `solaria-1`\n3. A 429 means the concurrency limit, 3 async and 1 live on the free plan. Wait for a running job to finish\n4. Upgrade off the free plan before sending sensitive audio\n5. Split files over 135 minutes or 1,000 MB\n\n### Rev AI Speech-to-Text API\n\n1. Keep streaming URLs out of logs. They carry `access_token`\n2. Send `source_config: {\"url\": ...}`, not `media_url`, even though the published SDKs still use `media_url`\n3. Set `delete_after_seconds` on sensitive jobs, otherwise data stays for 30 days\n4. Use `notification_config` webhooks rather than polling job status\n5. Don't build on `low_cost` or `fusion`. Both are deprecated\n\n## Other comparisons with Gladia Speech-to-Text API + MCP or Rev AI Speech-to-Text API\n\n- [Amazon Transcribe vs Gladia Speech-to-Text API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/amazon-transcribe-vs-gladia-stt.md)\n- [Amazon Transcribe vs Rev AI Speech-to-Text API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/amazon-transcribe-vs-rev-ai-stt.md)\n- [AssemblyAI Speech-to-Text (Universal) vs Gladia Speech-to-Text API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/assemblyai-stt-vs-gladia-stt.md)\n- [AssemblyAI Speech-to-Text (Universal) vs Rev AI Speech-to-Text API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/assemblyai-stt-vs-rev-ai-stt.md)\n- [Azure AI Speech speech-to-text vs Gladia Speech-to-Text API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/azure-speech-to-text-vs-gladia-stt.md)\n- [Azure AI Speech speech-to-text vs Rev AI Speech-to-Text API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/azure-speech-to-text-vs-rev-ai-stt.md)\n- [Deepgram Speech-to-Text (Nova-3, Flux) vs Gladia Speech-to-Text API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/deepgram-stt-vs-gladia-stt.md)\n- [Deepgram Speech-to-Text (Nova-3, Flux) vs Rev AI Speech-to-Text API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/deepgram-stt-vs-rev-ai-stt.md)\n- [ElevenLabs Scribe Speech to Text API vs Gladia Speech-to-Text API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/elevenlabs-scribe-vs-gladia-stt.md)\n- [ElevenLabs Scribe Speech to Text API vs Rev AI Speech-to-Text API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/elevenlabs-scribe-vs-rev-ai-stt.md)\n- [Gladia Speech-to-Text API + MCP vs Google Cloud Speech-to-Text](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/gladia-stt-vs-google-speech-to-text.md)\n- [Gladia Speech-to-Text API + MCP vs Soniox Speech-to-Text](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/gladia-stt-vs-soniox-stt.md)\n- [Gladia Speech-to-Text API + MCP vs Speechmatics Speech-to-Text](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/gladia-stt-vs-speechmatics-stt.md)\n- [Google Cloud Speech-to-Text vs Rev AI Speech-to-Text API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/google-speech-to-text-vs-rev-ai-stt.md)\n- [Rev AI Speech-to-Text API vs Soniox Speech-to-Text](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/rev-ai-stt-vs-soniox-stt.md)\n- [Rev AI Speech-to-Text API vs Speechmatics Speech-to-Text](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/rev-ai-stt-vs-speechmatics-stt.md)\n", "meta": { "attribution": "Anchor Terminal (https://www.anchorterminal.com)", "docs": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/docs/", "generatedAt": "2026-10-04", "license": "CC-BY-4.0", "method": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/benchmark/", "methodology": "0.3", "openapi": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/openapi.json", "preview": false, "run": "2026-10-01", "runLabel": "October 2026 research run" }, "page": { "breadcrumbs": [ { "name": "Home", "url": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/" }, { "name": "Compare", "url": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/" }, { "name": "Gladia Speech-to-Text API + MCP vs Rev AI Speech-to-Text API", "url": "" } ], "description": "Gladia Speech-to-Text API + MCP has a score of 69.7 (B) against Rev AI Speech-to-Text API's 58 (C).
