What a session costs
A session is one room, from brief to transcript, and it is the unit everything is priced in.
A session runs 45 minutes by default, with three personas and one human. It is the same unit on the product pages and on the pricing page, so the two describe the same thing rather than two things that happen to share a name. Nothing here is metered in credits, deliberations, messages or minutes, because those are units nobody thinks in and they make a price impossible to compare. Zero real human sessions have taken place.
Professional is US$149 a month and Team is US$399 a month. Both are priced in US dollars, which is the currency the product bills in, so the figure on this page is the figure on your invoice rather than a converted approximation of it.

The arithmetic, when there is arithmetic to show
The arithmetic on a plan is the whole of it. Professional is US$149 a month for 10 sessions. Team is US$399 a month for 30 sessions. Both plans stop at their allowance rather than charging past it, so the number above is the largest number you can be charged in a month on that plan.
What is still missing from this page is the other direction: what one session costs us to deliver. We have a measured vendor figure and not a delivered one, so no margin claim and no cost calculator appears here. A calculator built on a figure nobody has measured is the exact move this site was built to refuse.
Not yet produced
The arithmetic of one session, worked out in front of you: the unit price, the number of sessions and the total. The first number in that sum has not been measured, and a calculator that multiplied an assumed unit cost would produce a confident total from a figure nobody has.
The Pitch-Ready guarantee
Start your first session. If 5 minutes in you do not feel cross-examined, end the session inside that window and we refund the month in full. You do not have to explain yourself.
The window is short on purpose and we would rather say why than let you discover it. A room that has run its full length has already given you the argument, the transcript and the export. The guarantee is there so that nobody pays to find out whether the personas push back, which is hard to judge from the outside. It is not there to make a completed session free.
Nothing converts. There is no trial that becomes a plan when a window runs out, nothing starts automatically, and nothing is charged unless you choose a plan and buy it yourself. That is why this page carries no notice about a first charge arriving: there is no automatic first charge to give notice of.
This is a commitment we are making on top of the law and not instead of it. If you bought as a consumer in GB,IE,DE,FR,NL,ES,IT, your statutory right to withdraw is separate, survives this guarantee, and is set out in full on the refunds page.
The three things people fear about metered pricing
A plan either stops at its included allowance or charges a published per session rate you have already seen. There is no third behaviour, and which of the two applies to your plan is stated in the same viewport as the price rather than in a footnote.
Cancellation is 3 clicks or fewer from the account page, with no retention screen and no offer in the way.
The Pitch-Ready guarantee is 5 minutes inside your first session, no reason required, and you do it yourself rather than by asking. Both are published commitments and both are checkable on the screen where they are honoured.
The guarantee is published for GB,IE,DE,FR,NL,ES,IT. That is the same list the refunds page carries, because it is one node in one register rather than two copies.
Before you pay, what happens to what you say
Where the audio goes
To Google for speech recognition and synthesis, and through a media server we run.
What we keep
The brief and the transcript. Audio is discarded once the transcript is written.
Who can read it
You. Nobody at Tingvar reads a transcript without your written request on a support case.
How you destroy it
One control on the account page, and it removes the brief and the transcript with the account.
What happens to my recording?
Tingvar does not store your session audio: it is processed while the room is live and no recording of it is kept. What persists is the transcript, the text of what you said and what each persona said, attributed line by line. Only the account that ran the session can read that transcript, and nobody at Tingvar reads one without your written request on a support case. You can delete any session yourself, and deletions are purged from backups within 30 days. The retention schedule is published at tingvar.com/trust/your-data.

The questions people ask before paying
How long is a session?
A Tingvar session is 45 minutes by default, and that is the unit everything on the pricing page is quoted in. You can leave a room early. Nothing keeps running after you go, and a session you end early still produces the transcript up to that point. Ending your first session inside the first five minutes is also how you claim the Pitch-Ready guarantee.
What does one session cost me?
Tingvar is priced by the plan rather than by the session, and a session is 45 minutes with three personas. Professional is 149 USD a month for ten sessions and Team is 399 USD a month for thirty, both capped, so the monthly figure is the largest amount you can be charged in a month. There is no overage and no credit system to convert into money. An Enterprise tier is priced with you.
Is there a free tier?
Tingvar does not have a free tier, and there are two paid plans instead. Professional is 149 USD a month and Team is 399 USD a month, with an Enterprise tier priced with you. What we offer in place of a free tier is the Pitch-Ready guarantee: start your first session, and if five minutes in you do not feel cross-examined, end it inside that window and we refund the payment in full.
What happens when my plan's sessions run out?
Tingvar plans stop at their included allowance rather than charging past it. Both plans are capped rather than metered, so the monthly figure on the pricing page is the largest amount you can be charged in a month. There is no overage and no silent upgrade. A plan that quietly bills past its own ceiling is a trick rather than a business model. Your transcripts stay available and exportable.
What happens if the room drops halfway through?
If a Tingvar session drops for a reason on our side you are not charged for it, and the transcript up to that point is kept and exportable. A dropped room shows in your billing history as a session that was not charged, so you can check rather than take our word for it. Nothing about a dropped room is silently absorbed into your allowance.
Can I get surprised by an overage charge?
No, a Tingvar plan either stops at its included allowance or charges a published per-session rate you have already seen, and there is no third behaviour. Which of the two applies to your plan is stated in the same viewport as the price, not in a footnote and not in the terms. The reason we write this down is that metered pricing in this category produces the same complaint every time, which is a bill nobody could have predicted from the pricing page.
What happens to my recording?
Tingvar does not store your session audio: it is processed while the room is live and no recording of it is kept. What persists is the transcript, the text of what you said and what each persona said, attributed line by line. Only the account that ran the session can read that transcript, and nobody at Tingvar reads one without your written request on a support case. You can delete any session yourself, and deletions are purged from backups within 30 days. The retention schedule is published at tingvar.com/trust/your-data.
