## Applies to every plan

Recorded for the product or the provider; a plan-level value or a listed exception replaces it.



## Collection notes

Two ways to pay: pay as you go from an account balance, at the per-character rate of the speech model (the speech-2.8-hd rate is recorded; speech-2.8-turbo is $60 per million characters), and the Audio Subscription plans (Starter to Business, monthly). The subscriptions are metered in audio points and the pages do not say how many characters a point is, so their included volume and extra price are not recorded. Yearly prices (20% off) exist and are not modelled. The MCP servers are self-hosted by the user.
