Every Plaud device includes the Starter Plan at no extra cost. This gives you 300 transcription minutes each month from day one, so you can start capturing, transcribing, and summarizing conversations the moment you open the box with no subscription required.

For admin management features, you will need to purchase the Team plan. Learn more at plaud.ai/team.

Your Plaud subscription gives you access to Plaud Intelligence — a complete workflow layer built on top of the recorder:

• AI transcription in 112 languages, with speaker identification and high accuracy across accents and environments
• Multidimensional summaries and 10,000+ professional templates tailored for meetings, interviews, calls, consultations, and more
• Ask Plaud — search and query across all your recordings using natural language
• AutoFlow — automated follow-ups, action items, and exports
• Latest AI models — including GPT-5.5, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Claude Sonnet 4.6, and more, updated as new models are released
• Private cloud sync — Cloud storage with access across Plaud App, Web, and Desktop

For professionals who record regularly, the real value is the Capture → Extract → Utilize workflow: less time re-listening, rewriting, and chasing context, with more time acting on what was said.

Both plans include the full Plaud Intelligence feature set. The core difference is transcription capacity:

• Pro Plan — 1,200 minutes (20 hours) per month. For professionals with regular meetings and calls throughout the week.
• Unlimited Plan — up to 24 hours per day. For users whose work depends heavily on conversations: doctors, lawyers, journalists, sales professionals, and others in high-volume recording workflows.

A simple way to decide: If your monthly recording volume exceeds 20 hours, upgrading to the Unlimited Plan is the most cost-effective choice.

Yes. Plaud Team is a dedicated plan for teams that need shared AI-powered recording workflows with centralized management.

• Centralized management. Admins can manages seats, billing, and devices for the team.
• Access all features. Every seat up to 24 hours of daily transcription, Plaud Intelligence, and access to the newest AI models.
• Separate team workspace. Securely share files in a shared team workspace while maintaining personal privacy. Each recordings remain strictly private unless explicitly shared.

Choosing annual billing offers significant savings compared to monthly billing:

• Pro Plan: €9.20/month on annual billing vs. €19.99 billed monthly (54% in savings).
• Unlimited Plan: €18.70/month on annual billing vs. €34.99 billed monthly(47% in savings).
• Team Plan: €15.60/user/month(excl. VAT) on annual billing vs. €29/user/month(excl. VAT) billed monthly (47% in savings) with the launch offer ending August 31, 2026.
  €19.50/user/month on annual billing vs. €36.30/user/month billed monthly thereafter.

The annual plan is the most cost-effective choice. If you're just starting out, the monthly plan offers maximum flexibility with zero long-term commitment. You can upgrade to annual billing anytime within the Plaud App for individual plans, and on web.plaud.ai for Team plan.

No. Transcription minutes reset at the start of each billing month and unused minutes do not carry over. This applies across all plans: 300 minutes on Starter, 1,200 minutes on Pro, and up to 24 hours per day on Unlimited and Team.

If you regularly run out before the month ends, you can upgrade your plan or purchase a one-time Extra Minutes top-up (available in 600, 3,000, or 6,000-minute packages) without changing your current plan.

For Individual Plans: Plan changes are managed through the Plaud App. If you purchased through the App Store or Google Play, plan changes must be made through the same channel — subscriptions across different purchase platforms cannot be transferred or converted. Upgrades take effect immediately, with the unused value from your current plan applied as a credit toward the new plan cost. Downgrades take effect at the end of your current billing cycle.

For Plaud Team: Seat and billing changes are managed by the team admin through the admin console. Plaud Team cannot be upgraded from or converted to an individual subscription. Adding seats takes effect immediately; removing seats takes effect at the end of the current billing cycle.
