FAQ

Do I need a credit card to start?

No. New Console accounts receive $20 of promotional prepaid credit. You can run any job type until that credit is consumed.

How is usage billed?

We bill actual processed media, not configured paper specs. Durations round up to the next minute per line. Idle gaps with no frames are not billed as source/sink usage. A fully idle job pays only the base fee.

What happens when credit runs out?

New jobs are rejected until you buy more prepaid credit in Console. Pay by card; unused purchased credit does not expire.

Are ASR, Translate, and Voice Agent included in the $20 credit?

Yes. Every registered account can use all node types, including managed AI nodes. Credit is consumed at list prices.

Do you charge for silence?

ASR bills only VAD-selected speech sent to the recognizer. Mixer and encode lines bill while frames or audio are processed. Object storage (S3/R2/GCS) is billed by your storage provider, not AVFlow.

Who processes payments?

AVFlow does not store card numbers. You pay by card at checkout. See the Refund Policy for unused-credit rules.
