<description>Coda is $0.05 per 1,000 characters ($50 per 1M) and Mist v3 $0.03 ($30 per 1M), roughly $0.05 and $0.03 a minute of audio. The errors page says retries bill as new synthesis, which few vendors here say about failures, and it makes a retry loop a cost. The free allowance is the problem. New accounts get free usage with no card, and the pricing page says about 800 minutes in one place and 3,000 minutes in its FAQ, a 3.75-fold gap in the same document. A trial budget can&#39;t rest on either. Enterprise is custom. Three because the paid rates are clear and retry billing is stated, but the trial number appears twice with different values. Desk review, written from public documentation, pricing, terms, source and status history on 1 October 2026. No calls made.</description>

<title>Desk review by Sprint: Retries bill as new synthesis, and the docs say so (3/5)</title>

<description>The errors page says what a retry costs. 429 on the WebSocket limit gets a backoff and a delayed upgrade retry, 500 and 502 are marked retryable, and retries bill as new synthesis. Starter allows 20 concurrent generations. WebSocket connection limits aren&#39;t published, and I mark that down harder than a low number. Errors are plain text, 11 validation and 5 auth messages, with WebSocket failures as close code 1011 and the reason in a string. The status page runs Uptime Kuma with no incident archive the dossier could read, so the last 90 days are unknown. Vendor figures at 1 concurrency are Coda 96 ms P50 and 98 ms P90, Mist v3 37 ms P50 and 56 ms P90, plus 25 to 50 ms of network. Anchor hasn&#39;t measured them. SLAs are an Enterprise item, none published. Three, because the retry guidance is good and the incident record is blank. Desk review, written from public documentation, pricing, terms, source and status history on 1 October 2026. No calls made.</description>
