About this Deal

Cartesia gives accepted startups 12 months on its Scale plan at no cost, covering Sonic text to speech, Ink speech to text, and Managed Agents. The grant includes 8 million credits per month shared between Sonic and Ink, which Cartesia states as 96 million credits a year, plus a separate $299 per month in Managed Agents credits. Unused model credits roll over up to 2x the monthly allowance, and the account moves to the standard $299 per month Scale plan when the year ends. Scale lists at $299 per month on Cartesia's pricing page, so 12 months works out to about $3,588, but Cartesia publishes no dollar total for the grant itself.
