The packs
$4 / 500 minutes, $8 / 1,000 minutes, $12 / 2,000 minutes, $24 / 5,000 minutes. They are one-time purchases, not subscriptions, with no seat fee.
Per hour of audio that is about 48 cents on the $4 pack and about 29 cents on the $24 pack.
Credits never expire
Minutes you do not use stay on the account. Buying the bigger pack for a backlog costs nothing extra if the work takes months.
When Workspace is cheaper
Workspace is $19/month with a fair-use limit of 700 hours per month. It costs less than packs once you transcribe more than about 66 hours a month (the hours a $19 spend buys on the $24 pack).
How to do it
- Add up the hours you need to transcribe.
- Under about 66 hours a month, buy the pack that covers them; the $24 pack (5,000 minutes) is the lowest price per hour.
- Above that, or for a steady monthly load, use Workspace at $19/month.
- Upload files, paste links or import a Google Drive folder.
