Tips for Saving and Choosing Better
Calculate your actual usage - Monitor how many minutes you have transcribed in recent months to choose the ideal plan
Start with a smaller plan - It is better to start small and upgrade than to waste credits
Use one-time credits for testing - Try the platform before subscribing to a monthly plan
