AudioPen vs Deepgram: Features, Pricing and User Reviews 2026

AudioPen Prime uses one-time payments instead of monthly subscriptions, so you pay once and keep access for a set period.

• 3 Month Pass ($33): Access for three months, about $11 per month.

• Yearly Pass ($99): Access for one year, about $8.25 per month.

• 2 Year Pass ($159): Access for two years, about $6.63 per month.

Every pass includes the same full feature set: unlimited AI rewrites, custom writing styles, audio file uploads, recordings up to 15 minutes, SuperSummaries, folders and tags, and both Zapier and webhook integrations.

None of the passes renew automatically, so you decide whether to renew once your access period ends, and notes you saved during that time stay yours to keep.

Deepgram uses a flexible credit-based pricing system that scales with your usage. New users receive $200 in free credits to explore all features without requiring a credit card. These credits never expire and cover speech-to-text, text-to-speech, and voice agent usage.

The main pricing tiers include:

• Pay-As-You-Go - Use your free credits, then pay only for what you use with no minimums

• Growth Plan ($4,000+/year) - Pre-paid annual credits with volume discounts and the same concurrency limits

• Enterprise Plan (Custom) - Tailored pricing with the best discounts, custom models, priority support, and highest concurrency

Deepgram bills by the second for audio processing, so you pay exactly for what you use. The Growth plan offers 10% overage protection, and Enterprise customers get access to on-premises deployment, custom model training, and dedicated support teams.
