Models & Pricing

Every transcription request must specify a model. Typeless offers three tiers that trade off quality and speed against cost — pick the one that fits your workload.

Models

Model	Price	Best for
`typeless-1.0-lite`	$0.25 / audio hour	Cost-sensitive, high-volume workloads; recommended for non-real-time (batch) use cases
`typeless-1.0-pro`	$0.50 / audio hour	Balanced quality, speed, and cost
`typeless-1.0-max`	$2.50 / audio hour	Recommended default — quality-critical or latency-sensitive production workloads

Billing rules

Billed per second of audio, with a 15-second minimum per request
You are not charged for validation failures (4xx), server-side errors, or timeouts
You are charged if you cancel or disconnect after transcription has started — billed on the audio you sent

Example

A 42.5-second file on typeless-1.0-pro:

cost = max(42.5, 15) s × ($0.50 / 3600 s) = 42.5 × $0.0001389 ≈ $0.0059

The minimum kicks in only for very short clips (under 15 seconds), so this file is billed at its actual duration.

Balance

Typeless uses a prepaid balance model. Top up your account in the Typeless Console. When your balance reaches $0, requests return 402 INSUFFICIENT_BALANCE. See Errors for handling guidance.
