The number

That's the whole pricing page. No "Pro" tier, no per-bot fees, no setup, no minimums. We win on transparency and we mean it — see meetbot.dev/#pricing for the live calculator.

How metering works

Every bot run emits one usage event when it finalizes:

event:        bot.usage_recorded
job_id:       job_01HXY…
seconds:      4253
hours_billed: 1.181 (rounded to nearest minute)
amount_usd:   0.354

Events stream into Stripe via the Billing Meters API under our recording_hours meter. Your invoice at month-end aggregates them; you can audit raw events any time at /account/billing → "Usage events".

A bot that connects but never gets admitted is not billed (we'd be charging you for a failure). A bot that records for less than 60 seconds is also not billed.

Free credit

New accounts get $5 of credit applied to the first invoice. It covers the first ~16 recorded hours. No card required to start; you'll only hit a card prompt when usage exceeds the credit and an invoice would otherwise generate.

If you exhaust the credit and never add a card, in-flight bots finish but new dispatches return 402 PaymentRequired with code: "credit_exhausted". Add a card at /account/billing to resume.

Stripe portal

We use Stripe's hosted customer portal. From /account/billing you can:

Update card / SEPA mandate / ACH method
Download invoices (PDF + CSV)
Update billing email and tax ID (used for EU VAT reverse-charge)
Cancel — no contracts, no notice period

Self-serve everything. No "contact sales to cancel" tricks.

Where to see usage

Where	What you see
`/account`	Today's usage + month-to-date + current invoice estimate
`/account/billing`	Stripe portal, invoices, usage events feed
`/account/recordings`	Per-bot duration + cost line

Volume + enterprise

Above 1,000 hours/month we'll cut a custom rate (typically 20–35% off, case by case). Email sales@meetbot.dev to discuss.

Honest scope on enterprise extras. We do not have SOC 2 today, no HIPAA / BAA template, no published uptime SLA. SOC 2 Type 1 is on the M5 roadmap (target Q4 2026, not committed); BAA template would follow that audit. We can send a DPA template on request — it's a soft commitment, not a published certified document. If your procurement process requires any of these on day one, talk to Recall or another SOC 2-certified vendor; we'll tell you up front rather than waste your time.

Pricing cadence

We commit to public price-change notice at least 60 days before any increase. The pricing page footer at meetbot.dev/#pricing carries a prices last verified YYYY-MM-DD stamp; if you ever see a stale stamp, file an issue — the docs repo is public and PRs are welcome.
