For large organizations, Enterprise offers custom usage limits, unlimited seats, Slack support, and compliance with SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, and HIPAA, available by contacting sales.

Rime AI uses usage based pricing, so you only pay for the amount of speech you generate. The Starter plan begins at $0.03 per 1,000 characters, which is close to one minute of audio. New users get about 800 minutes free, worth around 800,000 characters, with no credit card required to start.

Pricing also depends on the voice model you pick. Mist v3 costs $0.03 per 1,000 characters and focuses on speed, while Coda costs $0.05 per 1,000 characters and focuses on natural sounding speech.

For larger organizations, the Enterprise plan moves to custom volume pricing based on scale. It includes unlimited concurrent voice generations, unlimited custom voice clones, dedicated support, and options to deploy on the cloud, on prem, or inside a private network.
