Q: What might the credit system look like?
It sounds as though any of those AI features are going to cost credits that will be available for purchase separately from our 6,000 minutes. SPEAKER DIARIZATION should really be part of the core of this product offering.
How is the credit system going to look? Will our 6000 minutes be able to be applied to the AI enhancements that you say are coming or will we be forced to purchase additional credits of some kind? Will the AI features we have now always be included?
"1. tiered plans include specific transcription time limits, AI-generated summaries and mind maps are free to use. In the future, as we roll out more AI-powered features such as speaker diarization and the ability to chat directly with audio/video content, these advanced features will consume additional credits, which may need to be purchased or redeemed separately."

Jul 4, 2025A: Hi there! Great question and I really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.
At the moment, Speaker Diarization is already live and available to all AppSumo users without needing to purchase any additional credits. Similarly, AI-generated overviews and mind maps are also included and don’t require credits.
That said, as we continue to expand our AI offerings (like the ability to chat with transcripts, use more flexible summary templates, or regenerate mind maps and summaries more freely), our AI costs may increase beyond what was originally planned in the AppSumo deal. So I want to be transparent: we’re still evaluating the best way to support these future features fairly for everyone.
Right now, we’re considering two possible directions:
1. Allow users to convert transcription minutes into credits, so you can use your existing Tier minutes to access AI features — no extra payment required.
2. Offer a limited number of free AI uses each month, with the option to either purchase credits or convert minutes to continue using them.
These are just our current ideas — we haven’t made a final decision yet. But our goal is to strike a fair balance: giving AppSumo users a great experience with upcoming features, while also making sure we can sustainably support the cost of these advanced tools.
Thank you again for the feedback!
