The short answer

Per call$0.058
Per user, per month$1.17
Of a $20.00 price5.8%

On Claude Sonnet 5, at 15,000 input and 900 output tokens per call. Fifteen thousand tokens is roughly a forty-five minute transcript. Twenty calls a month is a person in about one meeting a day, which is conservative for the buyers of this product.

  • What it costs if people use it 2x, 5x or 10x more than you think
  • The same feature priced on every model, cheapest first
  • What to change, in the order worth changing it

What drives the cost

Transcript length, which is meeting length, which you do not control. A team that runs two-hour workshops costs three times a team that runs stand-ups, on the same seat price.

Where the estimate goes wrong

The seat price. This category has settled on low per-seat pricing, often under twenty dollars, and that leaves a small absolute budget. The feature frequently fails on the price rather than on the token cost, and no amount of prompt optimisation fixes a pricing problem.

What this does not price

The transcription itself is a separate bill, charged per minute of audio rather than per token, and it is not modelled here. On most meeting products it is comparable to or larger than the summarisation cost, so treat this figure as one half of the answer.

Next step

If meeting notes and transcription summaries is on your roadmap and the number here made you pause, that is exactly the conversation worth having before an engineer starts.
