Speechmatics API pricing

Speechmatics has one ranked offering on Syftly. Prices below are per-unit list prices from dated public sources — token- or credit-priced plans are flagged, and a missing price is shown as missing, never guessed.

Transcription priceNo published per-unit price *

* token-/credit-priced — the headline understates real per-unit cost, so it is excluded from cheapest-rankings.

Vendor no longer publishes per-model rates (the pricing page defers to a portal), so the June 2026 $6.70/1000 min could not be re-verified and third-party figures conflict up to 2-3x higher; the price is therefore marked not comparable. Mid-pack accuracy (4.0% WER).
