New accounts start on the free tier with $20 in credits; the docs do not say whether it renews. Creator and above can buy more usage at a fixed rate per 1,000 characters (the rate is not stated). Korean is supported by Octave 2 (preview) only. The pages disagree on training: the privacy page says data submitted through the API is not used to train models, and says by default anonymized EVI interaction data is used; the Terms grant a licence to train and improve, so training is entered as unknown. ## Sources and notes Each number points to the provider's own sentence, as it appears on the page on the date shown. 1. The pricing page redirects to the home page and the billing app needs a login; the plan price is not stated on the pages read. 2.
