Credits

If captions already exist on the video platform, transcription costs 1 credit per video, no matter how long the video is. If no captions are available, we use AI Transcription, which is charged based on the video duration.

For AI Transcription requests, billing uses 1 credit per minute (rounded up) (ceil(duration_seconds / 60)). Examples:

• 00:00:59 -> 1 credit
• 00:01:10 -> 2 credits
• 00:02:00 -> 2 credits

Failed jobs are not charged.
