Unlimited includes 100 hours of transcription a month as fair use. Beyond that, new files wait in a lower-priority queue, and uploads pause at 200 hours until the next month. Cancel anytime from Settings: access continues until the end of the period you paid for, and partial periods are not refunded.
Questions
What are the file limits?
Free: 3 files a day, up to 30 minutes and 500 MB per file. Unlimited: files up to 10 hours and 5 GB, with 100 hours a month as fair use. Supported formats: MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, FLAC, OGG, MP4, MOV and WEBM.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Cancel from Settings and Unlimited stays active until the end of the period you already paid for. There are no refunds for partial months or years. Your account moves back to the free plan and your transcripts stay yours.
Who can see my recordings and transcripts?
Only you. Recordings are stored in a private bucket tied to your account and served through short-lived signed links. To transcribe, AssemblyAI receives a temporary link to the audio. When you run an AI tool, Anthropic or OpenAI receives the transcript text and your instruction. Neither we nor those services train models on your data, and nobody else receives it. You decide how long the audio is kept.
