I cover the latest changes in Descript’s pricing model that took effect on September 23rd, including the introduction of top-ups for buying extra credits. I explain the shift from transcription minutes to media minutes, how each uploaded file impacts your quota, and the implications for existing users. Additionally, Descript has changed how AI features consume credits from your monthly allowance, making previous inclusions now metered. I break down the costs of these new top-ups, highlight alternative tools, and share insights on how these changes might affect your workflow.
