How we count minutes and what happens when they run out

To the second

We count minutes from the length of the transcribed audio, to the second – 30 seconds is 0.5 minutes, not a whole minute. That is why it pays to transcribe only the part you need (In–Out).

These do not use minutes: style and text changes in the Edit module, syncing with the editor and re-inserting captions.

Soundbites, hook and Viral Radar

The AI tools use the same minute pool as captions, based on the amount of material: the soundbite analysis by recording length (a 5-minute talk uses less than a 90-minute podcast), Viral Radar by the number of analysed videos. Current rates are shown in the pricing next to each plan and above the analysis button. Reopening a finished result uses no minutes.

Monthly pool and top-ups

Your plan gives you a pool of minutes per month. When it runs out, you do not have to wait for the renewal – buy a top-up in Dashboard → Subscription → Buy minutes. Top-up minutes never expire and are used only after the monthly pool is gone.

The plugin says “Potrzeba X min, zostało Y” (X min needed, Y left)

The recording is longer than the minutes you have left. You can buy more minutes (link in the message), move to a bigger plan, or transcribe a shorter part (In–Out).

Team minutes

On team plans minutes are shared. The head admin can give a person an allowance from the pool. When the plugin says your allowance has run out, ask your team’s head admin for more minutes.
