Is Parlova free?
Free includes a one-time lifetime allowance of 30 minutes per account, with up to 5 minutes per day and 5 minutes per recording. Files can be up to 15 MB. No card is needed, and the free plan does not start a paid subscription automatically.
The allowance does not reset each month, when you delete a transcript, or when you upgrade and later return to Free. The daily limit resets at 00:00 UTC. Free downloads are plain text.
What do Plus and Pro include?
Plus adds speaker separation, timestamps, subtitle and spreadsheet exports, background-noise cleanup, custom vocabulary, and API, CLI and MCP access. Pro adds AI summaries and to-do lists, saved speaker names, Word and PDF downloads, batch uploads and higher queue priority.
All plans use the same primary transcription system. Paid plans increase allowances and features; they do not make automated output error-free. Review important wording, names and numbers against the recording.
How do monthly and yearly billing work?
Monthly subscriptions charge each month. Yearly subscriptions charge the full annual price at checkout and renew each year. Paid transcription allowances renew monthly on either billing interval; unused monthly allowance does not accumulate.
Prices are in US dollars. Applicable taxes are shown at checkout. Paid plans renew automatically until you cancel. Before buying or changing a paid plan, review the price and linked policies and explicitly accept the purchase conditions.
Can I cancel or change plans?
Cancel from the Plans window to stop future renewals; you keep the paid plan until the end of the paid period. Upgrades start immediately with a prorated charge. Downgrades take effect at renewal. Payments are non-refundable except for the policy exceptions and mandatory legal rights.
How long are recordings and transcripts kept?
Transcripts are kept for 7 days on Free and 90 days on Plus; Pro transcripts remain until you delete them. Uploaded audio is deleted when its transcript is ready. Failed uploads may be retained for retry until the job is deleted or expires. See the Privacy Policy for the full retention details.
What happens when I reach a limit?
New work may be blocked when the account's allowance or file limit is reached. Queues, rate limits and service-wide safeguards can also temporarily delay or pause processing. A paid allowance is not a processing-speed or uninterrupted-availability guarantee.
