How do you bill processed audio? Billing is based on the duration of the audio files sent for processing (in milliseconds), the minimum processing time for billing is 3min.

If you process a 20min audio file with a 1min intro file, the processing time is 21min. You can use as many output files (MP3, AAC, ...) or input tracks (multitrack productions) as you want, the charged processing time will always stay the same.

When processing very short files, we charge at least 3min of credits per production to avoid spam attacks. What is the difference between Recurring and One-Time Credits? Recurring processing credits are reset every month according to its plan (Auphonic XS (Free) to 2h, Auphonic S to 9h, etc.). If you don't use all credits in the current month, you cannot save them for the next month!

One-Time processing credits are used after free/recurring monthly credits (added on top of them) and are valid for an unlimited amount of time. I have purchased both Recurring and One-Time Credits. Which will be used first? Recurring (or free) monthly credits are used first. Combine one-time credits with recurring credits, if you occasionally want to process more audio material. Be aware that one-time credits are added on top of your free/recurring credits! I have purchased Auphonic S Recurring Credits. Do I get 11h (9h and 2h free) per month now? No. Auphonic S includes 9 hours per month, Auphonic XS (Free) 2 hours, Auphonic M 21 hours, etc. Am I allowed to edit and re-run my production with different settings? Yes. You can edit your production without additional costs, as long as you use the same input files in the same production.

If you change one of your input files or create a new production, you will be charged again! Are credits charged if there is an error during audio processing? No. We charge credits only if your production was successful. Are credits charged if an external service / data transfer fails? Yes, but you are able to retry and edit the data transfer without additional costs!

Some external services are very unreliable (e.g. archive.org, etc.) and the transfer might fail. We are not responsible for these services and therefore cannot guarantee that they work as promised. However, we will do our best to ensure that your files are transferred correctly! Are credits charged if I deactivate all audio algorithms? Yes. I am not satisfied with the result of a production. Can I get my credits back? Yes, you have to send us a description of the problem and all used credits will be refunded. Where can I find information about my available credits and when they are recharged? You can see your available credits and reset date at the Account Settings page. What happens if I upload an audio file and don't have enough credits anymore? A production will be created and the audio processing will produce an error.

You may buy additional credits, then edit and restart your production without uploading it again. I purchased Recurring Credits. When am I billed? You are billed every month in advance. Let's say you registered on 25th of January, then you will always be billed on the 25th of the month. Where do I find my invoice?
