What it is worth
What does speech data cost per hour?
SpeechData.ai’s October 2026 guide advertises its own catalog at $60–95 per audio hour. This is a vendor’s buyer price, not a market-wide rate or a payout for an existing archive.
The short version
- Specify whether an hour means full audio or speech-only duration.
- Compare included transcripts, metadata, rights and preparation.
- Custom collection needs a project quote; this guide does not supply a universal rate.
Published examples and terms
Each example describes the named source and its stated scope. These are not Fiund prices or guaranteed individual payouts.

Make two quotes comparable
Request the same unit, file formats, annotation depth and permitted use from each provider. A low hourly number with a narrower license may not meet your task.
Separate buyer cost from contributor earnings
A prepared dataset can include collection, transcription and documentation work. Its selling price does not establish what a source owner receives.
Limits to the comparison
A prepared catalog price does not value an unreviewed archive. The range describes one vendor’s offer; languages, preparation and license scope still need to match the buyer’s task.
Useful records
- Source records. Specify whether an hour means full audio or speech-only duration.
Gaps and limits to review
- Limits to the comparison. A prepared catalog price does not value an unreviewed archive. The range describes one vendor’s offer; languages, preparation and license scope still need to match the buyer’s task.
What Fiund quotes, and what it does not
The examples concern the named providers, agreements or disclosures. Fiund confirms availability, permitted use, preparation and price for a reviewed collection. The payouts page and contributor agreement explain its compensation terms.
