Pricing model: PAY_PER_EVENT. USD / 1,000 primary events: $15.00. USD / run start: Unavailable.

Selected event: Reel transcript (reel-transcript)

2 additional listed charge events

One Instagram reel or video transcribed: full speech-to-text, first-3-seconds hook, language, timestamped segments and the reel's metadata. The first 3 minutes of each video are included. Music-only reels are free unless you enable on-screen text extraction — then a reel with readable on-screen text delivers as a charged row. Charged only when a transcript or extracted on-screen text is delivered — expired links, text-free music-only reels and failures are never charged. A photo post or photo carousel is not a transcript: its words are read from its images under the separate 'Photo post text' event.

Ranked by 30-day users, with actor ID breaking ties. Rates are recorded list-tier USD amounts per 1,000 selected primary billing events, not inferred output counts.

Unavailable means no known recorded rate; zero event rates and explicit FREE models are shown separately. No price ranking is made. Completion highlights require current observations on the same date and valid evidence from 20+ public runs for each tool. Rolling public-run workloads differ; differences are descriptive and do not establish statistical significance, better reliability or output quality for your use case.
