Understanding File Storage Limits

Every TranscribeNext plan includes storage for your audio files and transcriptions. Understanding your limits helps you manage space effectively.

Storage Limits by Plan

• **FREE Plan** - 150MB total storage
• **PRO Plan** - 100GB total storage
• **BUSINESS Plan** - 1TB (1000GB) total storage

What Counts Toward Storage?

• **Original audio/video files** - The files you upload
• **Transcription data** - Text, timestamps, metadata
• **Processed versions** - Summaries, edited versions

Note: Transcription text is tiny compared to audio files. A 1-hour audio file might be 50MB, but the transcription text is only ~50KB.
