Frequently asked questions about Beey
What pricing models does Beey offer?
Beey offers 4 pricing models: Start (pay-as-you-go at €8.4/hour), Plus (€25/month for 5 hours or €250/year for 60 hours), Business (€45/month for 10 hours or €450/year for 120 hours), and Enterprise (custom pricing). Start is suitable for new users who want to try Beey occasionally without monthly fees. Plus and Business are recommended for regular users or teams, with annual subscriptions offering 2 months free and up to 58% savings compared to Start.
How long are transcribed credits valid?
Credit validity depends on the chosen model. Start model credits are valid for 2 years from purchase date and don't automatically renew. For Plus and Business models, monthly subscription credits are valid for 1 month and annual credits for 1 year. Unused credits in Plus/Business don't carry over to the next period - credits automatically renew to original value at the beginning of each new period.
Can I share credits with my team?
Yes, if you choose Plus or Business subscription, you can share credits and storage with team members. Plus allows sharing with up to 4 other users (5 total), and Business allows sharing with up to 9 other users (10 total). To create additional team accounts, contact support at [email protected]. Start model doesn't include shared credit functionality.
Can I change my subscription plan?
Yes, you can change your subscription according to your needs. If you upgrade from a lower version to a higher one (e.g., Plus to Business), you only pay a proportional amount for the given period. If you need to transcribe more than your model allows, you can upgrade to a higher minute model or use pay-as-you-go credits as an add-on to your subscription, which are valid for 2 years.
What is the maximum recording length for transcription?
The maximum length of recording allowed is 6 hours. However, the optimal length for transcription is less than 2 hours. Recordings longer than 2 hours have a risk of upload or transcription failure. Beey includes a splitter tool for long recordings (available in Plus, Business, and Enterprise) to help manage longer content.
How many languages does Beey support?
Beey supports 30+ languages for speech recognition and machine translation. All standard plans (Start, Plus, Business) include support for these 30+ languages. Enterprise customers can request additional languages and variants on demand. The platform continuously improves its language coverage and accuracy.
What export formats are available?
Beey offers multiple export formats: text files (docx, pdf), subtitles (srt, srt for Facebook, vtt, ssa, stl, ttml), and XML. All plans include these export options. Plus and Business plans additionally include custom export templates. Subtitle length can be set from 15 to 60 characters per line.
Is API integration available?
API integration is exclusively available for Enterprise customers. The Beey API allows you to transcribe audio/video in almost any format, manage transcribed projects, share projects with team members for manual correction, update notes/tags/name on projects, and export transcriptions in various formats (xml, pdf, docx, srt, vtt, ssa). API requires an authorization token from your profile. Start, Plus, and Business plans don't include API access.
What customer support is included?
All plans include email support. Enterprise customers receive additional premium support: phone support, training for users, personal consultant, individual dictionary updates, linguistic consultation, and individual account manager. Start, Plus, and Business plans only include email support without phone access or personalized consulting services.
Should I choose monthly or annual subscription?
Annual subscription is recommended. When you opt for annual payment, you receive 2 additional months completely free of charge. The higher the model you choose, the more you save per minute of transcription. Annual Business subscription saves over 58% compared to Start model. Credits for annual subscriptions are valid for 1 year and don't transfer to the next year if unused.
