Deepgram halves speech-to-text API concurrency limits for starter plans
What happened
Between the Apr 20, 2026 and Apr 27, 2026 captures of Deepgram's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Speech-to-Text REST API concurrency limit reduced from 100 to 50 for both Pay As You Go and Growth plans. Pulse files it as a packaging 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 26 days after Deepgram's previous change, "Deepgram slashes Voice Agent API prices across all tiers" (Apr 1, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Deepgram Cuts Voice Agent API Rates, Triples Concurrency Limits" (Apr 3, 2026) and "Deepgram triples concurrency limits across all API tiers" (Feb 16, 2026). Deepgram has been tracked since 2023-11-14.
In the same window OpenAI, Assemblyai and Otter also changed their AI & Machine Learning pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
