Quick answers.
What counts as a 'credit'?
1 credit = 1 minute of live translation beyond the 8 hours included with Professional each month. Captioning, broadcast sharing, cloud STT, AI summaries, and PDF export are all unlimited on Professional and Team — credits are only for extra translation time.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. Your 7-day Professional trial begins when you click the magic link in your email — no payment details required. We only ask for a card if you choose to subscribe after the trial.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Cancel from Settings → Subscription in two taps. You keep Professional features until the end of your current billing period, then drop to Free.
What happens to my sessions if I downgrade?
Your full session history stays. On the Free tier you keep on-device transcription for new sessions; cloud STT, translation, and AI summaries are reserved for Professional and Team subscribers.
Do credits expire?
Credits don't expire. A credit is one minute of live translation beyond the 8 hours included with Professional each month — buy a pack and use the minutes whenever you need extra translation. Captioning, broadcast sharing, AI summaries, and exports are always unlimited.
Is there a free trial of Team?
Yes. Subscribe to Team monthly and the first 7 days are free. Cancel before day 7 to avoid charges.
How is this different from CART captioning?
CART captioners are human stenographers — accurate, $150–$400/hr, require scheduling. Live Caption AI is automated speech-to-text using Deepgram's specialized models, available on demand for $19.99/mo. Many events use both: CART for the keynote, Live Caption AI for everything else.
Do you offer enterprise pricing, BAA, or HIPAA-aligned deployment?
Enterprise pricing, yes — that's the Business plan, from $199/mo: custom seats, pooled translation hours, invoicing, and priority support for law firms, universities, and larger teams. BAAs, no. We don't sign them today, so Live Caption AI isn't the right fit for sessions involving protected health information. Worth knowing either way: we never store session audio. Reach out to hello@livecaptionai.com and we'll tell you straight whether we fit.
