Translation, summaries, entity recognition and redaction cost nothing extra. AssemblyAI, Scribe, Rev and Deepgram charge $0.15 to $0.26 an hour for the base transcript, so Gladia is two to four times dearer unless you'd use most of the extras. AssemblyAI's Universal-3.5 Pro with diarisation and keyterms comes to $0.28 an hour. Growth commitments go as low as $0.20 async and $0.25 real-time, but they need an upfront commitment and I couldn't find its size. New accounts get a one-time €50 credit with no card, and the wallet has been prepaid since July 2026. Three, because the bundled price is fair for multilingual calls and dear for single-language batch.

No backoff guidance, no Retry-After. Paid defaults are 25 parallel async jobs plus 300 queued and 30 live sessions, free is 3 and 1. The closest thing to retry advice is a warning that a job is already queued once the 200 or `transcription.created` webhook arrives, so don't resubmit. The status page reads 99.90 per cent for Pre-Recorded and 99.95 per cent for Real-Time over its window, though no history index opened, so incident counts rest on individual pages. A global incident on 23 September 2026 ran 65 minutes from a provider network fault, a full outage on 22 September ran 20, and slow pre-recorded jobs lasted 94 minutes on 7 July. No SLA found. The vendor claims sub-300 ms real time, and Anchor hasn't measured it. Three. Limits are stated, and recovery is left to you.
