Deepgram: STT concurrency cut, model lineup restructured, promo streaming rates
What happened
Between the Mar 30, 2026 and Jun 29, 2026 captures of Deepgram's pricing page, Pulse recorded 2 changes: Free/Pay-As-You-Go and Growth plan REST API concurrency for Speech-to-Text cut from 100 to 50; Nova-1 & 2, Enhanced, and Base models removed from public pricing table; Flux split into Flux English + new Flux Multilingual tier ($0.0078/$0.0068 per min); limited-time promotional rates lower streaming prices for Flux English, Nova-3 Monolingual, and Nova-3 Multilingual. In detail: Speech-to-Text model lineup restructured: "Flux" split into separate "Flux English" and new "Flux Multilingual" line items (Multilingual priced at $0.0078/min Pay-As-You-Go, $0.0068/min Growth); Nova-1 & 2, Enhanced, and Base models removed from the main public pricing table (a new FAQ entry "Are older models (Nova-2, Enhanced, Base) still available?" was added, but their pricing is no longer shown in the comparison table); new "Limited-time promotional rates on streaming" discount reduced streaming prices for Flux English, Nova-3 Monolingual, and Nova-3 Multilingual (old prices now shown struck through next to lower promotional prices, e.g. Flux English Pay-As-You-Go $0.0077/min → $0.0065/min); Speech-to-Text REST API concurrency limit cut in half for both the Pay As You Go plan and the Growth plan: "Up to 100 for the REST API" reduced to "Up to 50 for the REST API". Pulse files it as a packaging change (package change, limit decrease) with a downward direction. Pulse's latest capture (Sep 21, 2026) lists Growth at $333.33 and Pay As You Go at $0 per 1,000 input tokens (Audio Intelligence) + $0.01 per minute (STT Flux English pre-recorded).
It lands 59 days after Deepgram's previous change, "Deepgram overhauls STT lineup with Flux Multilingual, retires Nova models" (May 4, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Deepgram halves speech-to-text API concurrency limits for starter plans" (Apr 27, 2026). Deepgram has been tracked since 2023-11-14.
