Open the original- What it measures
- The same Cloud API card lists 'Volume pricing to $0.02/hr' as a feature. The Simple pricing text gives the same 'from $0.02/hr' floor for volume and says pricing is per audio hour for both modes.
- What it does not show
- No volume threshold is stated, so this is not a named tier. The page's chart calls its $0.02 figure 'Illustrative; verify current rates before relying on it'. Read 2026-10-22.
