Editorial interest 75/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A pricing comparison tool that converts AI text-to-speech costs to price per minute and speech-to-text costs to price per hour.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-07 issue.

For: People comparing AI voice or transcription pricing
Worth noticing: It distinguishes recorded-audio transcription from live streaming, listing Groq Whisper at $0.04/hour and AssemblyAI at $0.15/hour.

Field notes

The page organizes comparisons around distinct jobs rather than presenting one undifferentiated vendor ranking: text-to-speech, recorded transcription, and live transcription. Its navigation also links to price changes and a calculation-method explanation. The site says it re-checks vendor pricing pages, though the extracted evidence does not show when individual figures were last verified.
