## Collection notes

SpeechifyAI is the developer API, billed separately from the Speechify Reader app. Plans are the Free, Starter, Pro and Scale cards of the pricing page; Enterprise is custom and not modelled. A plan adds a month of usage to one dollar balance drawn per character at the plan rate of the model called. The rates entered are those of Simba 3.0 and 3.2 ($10, $8, $6 per 1M characters on Starter, Pro, Scale); Simba 3.5 lists at $15, $12, $10 and is billed at those Simba 3.0 rates until 21 Nov 2026, after which the same balance buys fewer Simba 3.5 characters (1.26M, 9M, 46.8M, Free 333K).
