A per-minute estimate, not a Fish Audio rate
The docs say 1 million UTF-8 bytes is about 12 hours of speech. If that "about 12 hours" is treated as exactly 12 hours, that is 720 minutes. Our estimate is then $0.0139 per minute during the promo, $0.0694 per minute at the list price, and $0.0208 per minute for S2.1 Pro. Fish Audio did not publish those per-minute prices.
Speech recognition
transcribe-1-pro, transcribe-1, and transcribe-stream-1 are $0.36/hour.
