MeetVoice pricing explained: plans, hours of translation and how the trial works

If you are weighing up MeetVoice for two-way live translation in Google Meet, the practical question comes before the feature list: what does it cost, and what exactly does the price buy? This post is the reference for that — the three plans, the unit we count, what the trial covers, and what happens when you reach your monthly limit.

If you want the story behind the shift to subscriptions and what happened to older licenses, that is a separate post: MeetVoice 2.0: Subscription Plans with Speech Recognition Included. Here we stick to the numbers.

The plans

Plan	Monthly	Yearly	Hours of translation per month
Starter	€9/month	€86/year	5 hours
Pro	€29/month	€278/year	20 hours
Business	€79/month	€854/year	80 hours

Yearly billing is the cheaper route on every plan: the yearly price covers twelve months at a discount over paying month to month. Every plan and its checkout link sits in the pricing section on the home page.

The main difference between the plans is how many hours of translation per month you get. Translation and voiceover of the translated speech are included in every plan, on every tier — and on top of that, Pro and Business add AI meeting summary in both languages of the call, plus priority support.

What an hour of translation actually is

Speech recognition is the first step in the chain that turns what someone says into subtitles and a spoken translation.

An hour of translation is wall-clock speech recognition time. It is measured in real elapsed time while recognition is running on a call — not by the number of words spoken, the number of participants in the meeting, or the number of languages on screen. That makes consumption easy to predict: if your team runs translated meetings on a fixed weekly schedule, you can plan against that schedule directly.

When the quota resets

The quota belongs to your license, and it resets at the start of each calendar month, in UTC.

The part people usually get wrong is the timing: the reset is not tied to your purchase date. Subscribe on the 20th and you do not wait until the 20th of the following month — your counter returns to a full monthly allowance at the start of the next calendar month, the same as everyone else’s.

The 30-minute trial

Before any payment, there is a free 30-minute trial: 30 minutes of speech recognition in total, with no payment required and no license key to enter. Install the desktop app, add the extension, and join a call.

Thirty minutes is deliberately sized for real meetings rather than a demo clip. Live translation is one of those things you cannot evaluate from a screenshot — accents, cross-talk and your own vocabulary are what decide whether it works for you.

What happens when the hours run out

When a license reaches its monthly quota, speech recognition pauses until the next month. Because recognition feeds everything downstream, subtitles and voiceover stop with it.

There are two ways to keep going before the monthly reset:

• Upgrade to a higher plan. You can do that yourself in the LemonSqueezy customer portal at any time.
• Connect your own Deepgram key. With your own key, recognition runs on your Deepgram account instead of ours, so your plan’s monthly quota no longer gates you.

Devices are not the limit

There is no device cap on any plan. Install MeetVoice on your work laptop, your home machine and the laptop you travel with — one license covers all of them. What bounds your usage is the monthly translation quota, not the number of installations.

Your own Deepgram key stays optional

Bringing your own key is an option, never a requirement, and it does not change the price of your plan.

People choose it for two reasons. The first is volume, as above. The second is privacy: with your own key, audio goes from your machine directly to Deepgram and never passes through the MeetVoice relay — which is what some organizations need when policy requires a direct contractual relationship with the recognition vendor.

How do I upgrade, downgrade or cancel?

Billing runs through LemonSqueezy, and every subscription change is self-service in the LemonSqueezy customer portal, reachable from the receipt email you received at purchase. From the portal you can switch plans, update your payment method, download invoices and cancel. Cancelling stops future renewals.

If you cannot find the portal link, or you are not sure which plan fits your meeting volume, write to [email protected] and we will help you work it out.
