# Credits and Billing

The platform uses a credit-based consumption model.

Credit Definition

1 credit = 1 minute of processing time.

Credit Consumption Rules

#### Credit Consumption Rules

| Feature             | Credit Usage                           |
| ------------------- | -------------------------------------- |
| Audio Transcription | 1 credit per minute                    |
| Live Transcription  | 1 credit per minute (rounded up)       |
| Video Transcription | 1 credit per minute + 3 credits per GB |
| Translation         | 1 credit per \~3,000 tokens            |

Rounding Logic

• Audio duration is rounded up to the nearest minute.&#x20;

• Live sessions are billed at session end.&#x20;

• Failed sessions do not deduct credits.

**Subscription Plans**

Subscription plans allocate a fixed number of credits monthly.
