Pricing
Simple, transparent pay-as-you-go pricing with no monthly minimums.
Scribeberry uses usage-based pricing — you only pay for what you use. There are no monthly minimums, no per-seat fees, and no long-term commitments.
ℹ️ Info: This pricing applies to the B2B API (SDK / REST). It does not apply to Partner Widget integrations — each clinician manages their own Scribeberry subscription directly.
Free Credits
Every new project starts with free credits so you can integrate and test without entering payment details. Free credits cover all usage types at the same rates as paid usage — what you see during your trial is exactly what you'll pay at scale.
When your credits run out, add a payment method in the Console to continue.
Pricing Table
| Usage Type | Rate | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Input Tokens | $0.008 | per 1,000 tokens |
| Output Tokens | $0.032 | per 1,000 tokens |
| Transcription (file upload) | $0.204 | per hour |
| Realtime Transcription (live stream) | $0.85 | per hour |
What counts as a token?
Tokens are the units that language models use to process text. A typical English word is roughly 1–2 tokens. A 15-minute clinical encounter transcript is usually 2,000–4,000 tokens of input, and the generated note is 500–1,500 tokens of output.
What's the difference between transcription types?
- Transcription (file upload) — you send an audio file URL to the notes endpoint. The file is transcribed and a clinical note is generated. Billed per hour of audio.
- Realtime transcription (live stream) — you open a WebSocket session and stream audio in real time. Billed per hour of streamed audio. Slightly higher rate due to the low-latency infrastructure required.
What about note generation?
Note generation is billed through token usage (input + output). There is no separate per-note charge. The conversation text you send counts as input tokens, and the generated note counts as output tokens.
Spending Controls
You can set spending limits in the Console to control costs:
- Soft cap — sends an alert when your spending reaches a threshold you set
- Hard cap — pauses API access when spending hits the limit
Spending limits apply to the current billing period and can be adjusted at any time from your project settings.
Billing Period
Usage is metered continuously and billed monthly. You can view your current spend, daily breakdown, and cost projections in the Billing dashboard at any time.
Example Costs
Here's what typical usage looks like in practice:
| Scenario | Estimated Cost |
|---|---|
| 100 clinical notes from text (avg. 3K input + 1K output tokens each) | ~$5.60 |
| 10 hours of file-based transcription + notes | ~$2.04 + token cost |
| 10 hours of live realtime transcription | ~$8.50 + token cost |
| 1,000 template lookups (read-only, no generation) | Free |
ℹ️ These are estimates. Actual costs depend on conversation length, note complexity, and template structure.
