Enable Generation
Choose one of these options before generating through the dashboard or API:- Purchase a top-up of at least $10.
- Start a subscription that includes a monthly generation balance.
How Generation Cost Works
The server calculates each accepted request from:- The submitted text length, represented as billable tokens.
- The selected model:
baseoradvanced. - The per-token rate attached to your active plan.
ceil(max(30, character_count) / 4), with a minimum charge of 8 tokens per
generation. This applies to standard, dedicated, and streaming TTS, and to each
message in a conversation before the existing conversation multiplier. For
example, Hi! and a 30-character sentence both cost 8 tokens at your plan’s
model rate; 100 characters cost 25 tokens. The minimum affects billing only;
Audixa generates the submitted text without padding it.
The create-generation response includes tokens and dollar_cost. Audixa
reserves the required balance when the request is accepted and restores the
reserved amount if processing fails.
Text length is not a guaranteed audio duration. Speaking speed, language,
punctuation, voice, and model can all affect the final duration.
Billing Order
When both balances are available, Audixa uses:- Monthly balance included with the subscription.
- Top-up balance purchased separately.
Top-Up Expiry
Top-up expiry depends on subscription status:- While a subscription is active, the expiry clock for remaining top-up grants is paused.
- Without an active subscription, remaining top-up grants expire after 30 days. This applies to top-ups purchased without a subscription and to funds remaining after a subscription ends.
- Starting a subscription again pauses the clock on active, unexpired grants.
