# Pricing

Vakyam is billed as a **monthly plan**. Every plan — including Free — includes
full API access, a monthly character allotment, request rate limits, and
concurrency. You can also **buy extra credits** on top of any plan when you need
more characters. Characters are counted as Unicode code points — the same way
[credits](/concepts/credits) are measured.

Audio length is approximate and depends on speaking rate, language, and
punctuation. Billing is always in Indian Rupees.

## Extra credits

Need more characters than your plan includes? Buy additional credits at any
time — on any plan:

| Usage                | Price |
| -------------------- | ----- |
| Per 1,000 characters | ₹0.75 |

That is **₹0.00075 per character** (or ₹7.50 per 10,000 characters). Extra
credits add to your balance on top of the monthly allotment and are consumed
the same way as plan credits. Rate limits and concurrency still follow your
plan; buying credits does not raise RPM or concurrency caps.

See [Credits & Character Counting](/concepts/credits) for how usage is measured.

## What you pay for

* **Character allotment** — each synthesis request consumes characters from your
  balance (monthly plan credits first, then any purchased credits). See
  [Credits & Character Counting](/concepts/credits).
* **Extra credits** — optional top-ups at ₹0.75 per 1,000 characters when you
  outgrow the monthly allotment without changing plans.
* **Rate and concurrency** — how many requests you can start per minute and how
  many may run at once. See [Rate Limits](/concepts/rate-limits).
* **Voice cloning** — create and use custom `vc_` voices. Available on the
  **Growth** plan only.

## Choosing a plan

* Start on **Free** to try the full API and ship small prototypes.
* Move to **Developer** when you need more monthly characters and higher
  throughput for an app or personal product.
* Choose **Growth** for production volume, higher concurrency, and voice
  cloning.
* Stay on your current plan and **buy extra credits** when you only need more
  characters, not higher rate limits.
