Free tier	'New accounts get EUR 50 in free credits, valid for one year. That's roughly 312 hours of async transcription on solaria-3, 185 hours on solaria-1, or 73 hours of real-time.' The amount is printed with a euro sign on the vendor page and is written here as EUR 50. The price card is 'Starts at EUR 0.16/hour', with async tiers from EUR 0.27 an hour at 0 to 100 hours down to EUR 0.21 at 10,000+ hours, and real-time from EUR 0.16 to EUR 0.12. unit hours; metered on wall-clock; one-time-credit

Retention	the wallet is one year: unused credit is lost 12 months after signup, so a 312-hour allowance is a 12-month budget and not a reserve; a project that starts in month 11 gets one month of transcription.

Composes with	312 hours of async transcription for free is the cheapest per-hour speech-to-text lane found, and it composes with a free object store for the audio and a free runner for the upload loop. What breaks: the one-year clock, and the 73-hour real-time figure, which is a quarter of the async allowance because real-time bills the connection rather than the audio.
Reliability	no reliability event recorded
Notes	These are inference credits, not general compute. This is a French vendor billing in EUR, so the figure is EUR 50 and not a converted USD number. Not established: whether signup demands a card; the page offers 'Start with EUR 50 free credits' with a direct app link and states no card requirement, but the form was not opened. Model training is 'Opt-in by default (free opt-out anytime)' on the standard tier and 'Opted out by default' on the enterprise column, which changes what the same 50 EUR buys in privacy terms rather than in hours.
