The Growth plan is an annual prepaid commitment starting at $4,000 a year and Enterprise is custom; neither is a monthly price. The $200 sign-up credit is a one-time credit, not a monthly allowance. The MCP server is part of the Deepgram CLI and runs locally. Speech to text: the Pay As You Go Nova-3 Monolingual rates are the two plans, pre-recorded and streaming; Nova-3 Multilingual ($0.0052 a minute pre-recorded), the Growth plan (prepaid yearly credits from $4,000 a year, Nova-3 Monolingual $0.0036 a minute pre-recorded) and Enterprise are not modelled. Rates are per audio minute on the page; the plans carry them per audio hour (x 60). ## Sources and notes Each number points to the provider's own sentence, as it appears on the page on the date shown. 1.
