Pricing
Priced by the minute. Charged by the minute that existed.
One credit is one cent, drawn from the same Ounie wallet every Ounie app shares. There is no plan, no seat, and nothing recurring — you pay for the audio you actually transcribe.
Rounded up, per job. Words, segment timings, and the detected language.
An overview, key points, and action items — written only from what the transcript actually says.
What that comes to
Real files, real totals.
| File | Transcript | + summary |
|---|---|---|
| A 4-minute voice memo | 12 cr | 16 cr |
| A 28-minute interview | 84 cr | 112 cr |
| A 62-minute podcast episode | 186 cr | 248 cr |
| A 3-hour conference recording | 540 cr | 720 cr |
A credit is a cent, so the 62-minute episode above is $1.86. Buy credits on ounie.com — they work across every Ounie app.
Credit math
3 credits a minute, and only for the minutes there were.
A credit is one cent. The hold is sized from the file's own header before anything runs; the charge is sized from what was actually transcribed. You keep the difference — automatically, without asking.
Rounded up, per job — not per chunk. A 61-minute file is 61 minutes even when it is split four ways.
Optional. A summary that fails never fails the transcript you paid for.
Every export, every re-read, every format. Silent or failed media refunds in full.

Files over 22 MB must be MP3 or WAV — the two containers that split losslessly. Longer media in other formats is refused before you are charged, never halfway through.
Agents without an account
POST /api/x402/transcribe answers 402 with the exact price for that file's length — 1.2× the credit rate, in USDC on Base. No signup, no key.
Payment is verified before the work runs and only settled once a transcript exists, so silent or unreachable media costs nothing.
