API Pricing
The Fish Audio API uses pay-as-you-go pricing based on actual usage. There are no subscription fees or monthly minimums for API access.
Text-to-Speech (TTS) Models
TTS pricing is based on the size of input text, measured in millions of UTF-8 bytes.
| Model Name | Price (USD) |
|---|
s2-pro | $15.00 / M UTF-8 bytes |
s1 | $15.00 / M UTF-8 bytes |
1M UTF-8 bytes is approximately 180,000 English words, or about 12 hours of speech
Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) Models
| Model Name | Price (USD) |
|---|
transcribe-1 | $0.36 / audio hour |
How ASR billing works:
- Charges are based on the duration of audio processed
- Duration is rounded up to the nearest second
Rate Limits
These limits help us ensure fair usage and maintain service quality for all users.
Concurrent Request Limits
| Tier | Spending Threshold | Concurrent Requests |
|---|
| Starter | < $100 paid | 5 requests |
| Elevated | ≥ $100 paid | 15 requests |
| High Volume | ≥ $1,000 paid | 50 requests |
| Enterprise | Custom | Custom limits |
Concurrency tiers unlock as soon as your total prepaid amount reaches the threshold. You do not need to spend the full balance first. If your workload needs a higher concurrency tier, you can top up in advance to unlock the next tier immediately.
Please reach out to our team to enable enterprise volume pricing, rate limits, and billing.
