| Caveats | free tier streaming capped at 5 new streams/min. CORRECTION 2026-09-16 — THE OFFER IS NO LONGER DENOMINATED IN DOLLARS. This row said "$50 in free speech-to-text credits on signup". The pricing page states the free tier in HOURS instead, verbatim: "You can create an account and start transcribing immediately with no credit card required. The free tier includes up to 185 hours of pre-recorded transcription and up to 333 hours of streaming transcription." No $50 credit figure appears anywhere on the page. BEWARE THE NEAR-MISS: the page does contain "$50.00 / 1M", in the LLM model price table (GPT-6 Astra output), which has nothing to do with the free tier — a keyword search for "$50" on this URL finds it and looks like confirmation. |
No measured example — this row is evidence: documented: it states what the provider's own page advertised on the date shown, and this worker holds no credential to call it. The provider's documentation is the source: https://www.assemblyai.com/pricing
