Avoid Rate Limits (Recommended)

The free tier has rate limits that might delay answers. To ensure smooth operation, we recommend enabling billing.

Extremely Low Cost

The API is incredibly cheap. A typical 45-minute interview using Llama 4 Maverick (Multimodal) will cost around $0.25 — even with continuous audio and screen analysis.

You can set usage limits to control costs here: Billing Limits
