Heard Again pricing
The code is MIT licensed and free to self-host forever. Paid plans exist so you do not have to run the GPU that voice work needs.
Simple, transparent pricing
Choose a managed cloud plan for the easiest experience, or self-host Heard Again yourself if you prefer full technical control.
Why pay, when the code is free?
Heard Again is MIT licensed. You can download it and run it yourself at no cost, forever — and the paid plans do not unlock extra features you cannot get that way.
What you pay for is not having to run a GPU. Voice work needs one. Self-hosting means you buy or rent that hardware, install the models, keep the machine patched, and do your own backups. On a cloud plan we keep the GPU, the updates, and the backups running, and you just upload audio. That is the whole difference.
