Pricing questions
How are caption hours measured?
Caption hours are measured by processed live-caption time: the amount of audio CaptionPilot transcribes and corrects while a caption session is running.
What happens when I use all included hours?
The current backend enforces plan limits by stopping additional streaming time once the monthly allowance is exhausted. Overage pricing is documented for the v2 plans, but live overage billing should only be enabled when the billing implementation is configured to invoice it correctly.
Do unused hours roll over?
No. Included caption hours reset each billing period and unused hours do not roll over.
Can I cancel anytime?
Paid plans are managed through the Stripe customer portal when billing is configured. You can cancel before renewal to avoid the next charge; access continues according to the current subscription period.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. The trial includes 2 caption hours for product evaluation. It has no overage and does not automatically convert to a paid plan unless billing is explicitly configured.
Do I need a card for the trial?
No card is required for the beta trial flow shown on the public site.
Does OpenAI usage cost extra?
No separate OpenAI line item is shown to customers today. Optional AI fallback usage is part of the plan economics and may be disabled or limited by configuration.
Can I use my own API key?
Bring-your-own API keys are not implemented. Treat BYOK as planned or exploratory, not available.
