Pricing questions
Is this a subscription?
No. Every pack is a single payment. Nothing renews, you are never charged again unless you buy another pack, and there is nothing to cancel.
How long do minutes last?
Purchased minutes are valid for 12 months from the purchase date. Your dashboard shows the balance and the expiry date of each pack. When you use minutes, the pack that expires first is used first.
How is a file charged?
By its length, rounded up to the next whole minute. A 9:20 file uses 10 minutes. Re-mastering the same upload with another preset is charged again by length. Failed jobs are refunded to your balance automatically.
Do I need to buy a pack to try it?
No. Confirm your email after signing up and you receive 60 free minutes with access to every preset and format. The free LUFS meter and ACX check need no account at all.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. Within 14 days of purchase, any pack that is less than 50% used is refunded in full to the original payment method. Request it from the Billing page or by email. Full details are in our Refund Policy.
Are taxes included?
Prices are in US dollars. Sales tax or VAT is added at checkout where it applies.
Who processes the payment?
