Straightforward pricing. No hidden meters.
We publish the deal model, the variables that move the price, and a real range so you can scope a budget before you ever talk to sales. The number on your invoice is custom; the rules behind it are not.
Catalog, custom, or exclusive.
Pick the model that fits your project. Pricing variables and deliverables are the same across all three.

Five variables. The same five every time.
1. Hours
More hours = lower per-hour rate. Volume tiers at 100 / 500 / 2,000 / 10,000 hours.
2. Language & accent
Common languages cost less. Under-represented languages and accents cost more, because the supply is harder to source.
3. Quality grade
Studio-grade with multi-track and verified consent is our default. We do not sell anything below that grade. There are no “budget tiers.”
4. Exclusivity
Non-exclusive (cheapest), per-buyer-windowed (mid), full exclusive (most expensive).
5. Custom requirements
Specific demographics, scenarios, equipment, or transcription depth — each adds production cost.
Always included
MSA with IP indemnification, DPA, 15 days of acceptance testing, and a named delivery contact for the duration of the project.

No hand-wave numbers
We won't quote a hand-wave number to win a meeting and re-quote later. The number we send first is the number we sign.
No hidden royalties
We won't bundle in undisclosed downstream royalties. The MSA price is the price.
No bad-terms pilots
We won't offer “free” pilots that lock you into bad downstream terms.
No quality cuts
We won't sell catalog hours below the studio-grade threshold to hit a price target.
