* Base + diarization + PII = $0.55/hr minimum. Intelligence features (sentiment, summary, topics) are billed per token on top, making costs unpredictable at scale.
📊 The Deepgram math problem
Deepgram is a great transcription engine — but "Audio Intelligence" features are billed per-token, separate from per-minute transcription. That makes it nearly impossible to predict your monthly bill when you enable sentiment, summarization, and topic detection. At 1,000 hrs/mo, the difference between $0.49/hr (VoxParse) and $0.65/hr (Deepgram with features) is $160/mo saved — or $1,920/year.
