Realtime is $0.39 an hour. Entity detection adds $0.07 an hour and keyterm prompting $0.05, so batch with both is $0.34. The plans are prepaid allowances at the same rate, Starter $6 for 27 hours, Creator $22 for 100, Pro $99 for 450, Scale $299 for 1,359 and Business $990 for 4,500, each working out at about $0.22 an hour, so a subscription buys no discount. The free plan gives about 4.5 hours of batch a month with no card. Prices need no login. Nothing I read says whether a failed request is charged, and a 94 minute failure spell on 29 September 2026 makes that a fair question. Four, with the billed silence as the caveat.

An agent can tell its own limit from the platform's. Concurrency is published per plan, batch 8 on Free to 60 on Scale, realtime 6 to 45. Five STT-related incidents between 3 August and 29 September 2026. The worst was request failures and 429s for 94 minutes on 29 September, marked partial outage. On 3 August about 2 per cent of STT requests failed for 34 minutes, and three more were latency only. No idempotency key, and `webhook=true` has no dedupe guarantee. No self-serve SLA found. The vendor claims about 150 ms to partial transcripts on realtime, and Anchor hasn't measured it. Three. The 429 taxonomy is good, and a 94-minute failure on 29 September wants a fallback.
