Pricing

Managed routing

Speech only: $113 / 1M chars
With timestamps: $122 / 1M chars

Speechbase pays the provider; you spend credits.

BYOK

Platform fee: 3.4%
Speech only: 3.84 cr / 1K chars

Your provider key pays upstream; Speechbase charges the platform fee.

This model uses Speechbase's timestamp recovery pass when word-level timing is requested, so its with-timestamps price is higher than speech-only generation.
