How credits work
Instead of charging per file, paid plans give you a monthly pool of credits. Each minute of audio you transcribe spends credits, and the amount depends on the model you choose:
- The fast model and caption fast-path (for URLs that already have subtitles) cost the least.
- Long-form and translation models cost a bit more per minute.
- The highest-quality model (Cohere) costs the most, for when verbatim accuracy matters.
Chat, semantic search, notes, chapters, and flashcards don't draw down your transcription credits — they're included with the plan. That means you can keep asking questions about a recording you've already transcribed without paying again.
Which plan is right for you?
- Free — trying it out, short clips, occasional use.
- Go — students and creators who transcribe lectures, videos, and podcasts regularly.
- Pro — professionals and researchers who need every model, speaker labels, and search across many recordings.
- Max — power users with very long recordings and high monthly volume.

Pricing questions
How do credits work?
Every paid plan includes a monthly pool of credits. Transcription spends credits per minute of audio, and faster/cheaper models cost fewer credits than the highest-quality ones. URL pastes that already have captions cost the least. Unused features like chat and search don't consume your transcription credits.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. Free gives you 3 transcriptions with the fast model on videos up to 15 minutes, plus TXT/SRT/VTT export — enough to see if Silestis fits your workflow. No credit card required.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Plans are month-to-month and you can cancel anytime; annual plans save the equivalent of three months. Your transcripts, notes, chats, and flashcards stay in your account even on the Free plan.
Which plan should students pick?
Go (€8.99/mo) is built for students and creators: 2,000 credits, long-form transcription up to 2 hours, translation, and AI chat with your transcript. Step up to Pro if you need speaker diarization, semantic search, or the highest-quality model.
Every video you watch could be searchable.
Install the extension, hit transcribe, and never lose what was said in a lecture, meeting, or podcast again.
