Palabra.ai plans and what they include
Palabra.ai has two price shapes.

Up to 10 concurrent sessions are allowed per account, and sign-up brings $50 in free API credits.
The Meetings apps are fixed monthly plans with hour caps. Starter is $60 per month for 3 hours (the lowest displayed price is $45), Pro is $200 per month for 10 hours (lowest displayed $113), and Team is $1000 per month for 50 hours with SSO, audit logs and a dedicated account manager (lowest displayed $375).
