50% OFF on every paid plan — same price, more audio.

When we shipped v1.3 last week, we sat down and did the math on whether the prices we'd written on the pricing page actually made sense for the workload our developers were building. The answer, honestly, was that they didn't quite line up.

Pay-per-use was set at $0.006 a minute. That looks cheap, and on a per-minute basis it is. But a typical Khmer voice memo running through POST /api/v1/transcribe is roughly thirty seconds — a single sentence, a clinic note, a dispatch instruction, a reply in a group chat. A developer running a thousand of those through the API in a month is paying for around five hundred audio minutes, which at the old PPU rate landed at three dollars. Meanwhile the Pro subscription, sized for that same thousand requests, was twenty-nine. The two billing tracks were telling different stories about the same workload.

So we did two things at once. The first (Phase 33) moved the pay-per-use rate to $0.06 a minute, which puts that same thousand-request month somewhere around thirty dollars — roughly a Pro plan, paid by the minute instead of by the month. The second is the change we're announcing today.

What changed

Every paid plan now includes twice the audio minutes it did on day one, at the same price.

Pro is still $29 a month, but it now includes 2,000 API requests and 1,000 audio minutes — twice the audio you got at launch. Max moves to 10,000 requests and 5,000 minutes for $79. Ultra to 40,000 requests and 20,000 minutes for $199. Same sticker price, more audio, effectively halving the per-minute rate without rewriting any of the numbers on the bill. Pay-per-use sits next to it at $0.06 a minute, and the math between the two tracks finally tells one story.

This is permanent. There's no countdown, no launch-week sunset, no promotional clock to beat. The doubled quotas are the new baseline for every paid plan on TMRONE Cloud, today and forward.

Why this matters

Cambodia has 17 million people whose alphabet has 74 characters; for most of them, voice IS the keyboard. The developers we've watched build on this platform aren't running batch jobs — they're shipping clinic notes, dispatch radios, voice memos in Telegram channels, school-attendance recordings, micro-finance call logs. Audio minutes are the unit that matters, and doubling them is the difference between "the demo works" and "we can run this in production for the customers we already have."

សម្លេងគឺជាក្តារចុច។

The voice IS the keyboard. We made the API. Now there's twice as much room to ship what you're building.
