Questions about pricing
Something else on your mind? Write to support@dhvni.in.
What counts as a character?
Every character in the text you send, including spaces and punctuation. In Devanagari, vowel signs count as characters of their own, so बेटा is four characters.
How is speech to text metered?
By the second of audio you send, billed at the per minute rate. A 3.2 second voice note costs 3.2 seconds.
How do credits work?
One credit is one rupee. You buy credits in advance and usage is taken from your balance. On Pro and Growth, the monthly fee is added to your balance as credits. Credits do not expire.
What does the ₹5,999 voice fee cover?
Checking the speaker's consent, training the voice on your recordings, and a listening check before it goes live. You pay once per voice. There is no monthly fee to keep it, and speaking in it is billed at your plan's normal rate.
Can I get a refund?
If we cannot verify the speaker's consent, or cannot build a usable voice from your recordings, we refund the voice fee in full. Plan fees and credits are not refundable, but credits never expire.
Do prices include GST?
No. 18% GST is added to every invoice, and you get a GST invoice for each payment.
Can I change plans?
Yes, at any time. A new plan and its rates start from your next billing month.
