The price of transcription in pesos
The plan costs ₱636.42 a month in pesos, and the allowance of the plan is 1,500 minutes of audio — ₱0.42 for every one of them. The money itself is taken in dollars; the rate of 23 October 2026 (₱63.642455, European Central Bank) is what turns the plan into pesos.
The short version
The Pro allowance of 1,500 minutes comes to ₱636.42 a month and ₱0.42 a minute. The free plan stays at $0 with three files a day. The rate used for pesos is ₱63.642455, dated 23 October 2026.
What each volume costs
One formula for every row — the minutes multiplied by the rate of the Pro plan — and the part of the 1,500 minutes of the allowance that each recording takes.
| The recording | Price at the Pro rate | Share of the allowance | What it means |
|---|---|---|---|
| 15 minutes | ₱6.36 | 1 % of 1,500 minutes | ₱6.36 at the Pro rate — and the free plan takes files this short. |
| 30 minutes | ₱12.73 | 2 % of 1,500 minutes | ₱12.73 at the Pro rate; the longest file the free plan takes. |
| 1 hour | ₱25.46 | 4 % of 1,500 minutes | ₱25.46 at the Pro rate; the free plan stops at 30 minutes. |
| 2 hours | ₱50.91 | 8 % of 1,500 minutes | ₱50.91 at the Pro rate; the longest file any plan takes. |
| 5 hours | ₱127.28 | 20 % of 1,500 minutes | ₱127.28 at the Pro rate; a long recording, sent in chunks. |
| 10 hours | ₱254.57 | 40 % of 1,500 minutes | ₱254.57 at the Pro rate; split into files of two hours. |
Nothing in the table is a price of the service: it is the rate of the Pro plan applied to a length of audio. The plan itself is a flat monthly price.

The questions that come up
Will the transcript be translated for me?
The price covers transcription, not translation. What you get back is the text of the recording, in Russian or English, with a start and an end time for every line and, on request, the speaker labels. A translation into another language is not part of any plan here.
What is the longest file I can send?
Two hours and 64 MB per file, on every plan; that is a limit of the service and not of the subscription. The Pro allowance of 1,500 minutes a month is the volume you may send within those limits. A file that is too long is split into parts and sent in pieces.
Does it handle Russian audio?
Russian and English are both supported, and the engine is tuned for Russian and for conversations that switch between the two. You set the language yourself or let the service detect it. Where the audio is processed depends on the language: Russian and mixed files on our own engine outside the United States, a pure English file on a third-party cloud speech provider in the United States when that fallback is on the server.
Can I pay by card?
Yes. Payments go through Stripe, so your card number never reaches our servers and never sits on them. The Free plan asks for no card at all — no trial clock and no card check. On a paid plan you can change the plan, cancel it and download invoices from the Billing section of the app.
