# Usage and limits (https://voicelabs.now/docs/usage-and-limits)



All generation and transcription runs on VoiceLabs' GPU servers, and usage is metered server-side per account. Both levels are metered the same way — by the **length of the audio you generate**, not by how many times you press generate — so the two are directly comparable:

## Free accounts [#free-accounts]

A signed-in account without a subscription gets **30 minutes of generated audio per month**, free and forever. It also includes **one saved cloned voice** and downloads of everything you make. The allowance resets at the start of each month. Once it is used up, generating needs an active free trial or a Pro subscription.

Commercial rights and API access are Pro-only; a free account's audio is licensed for personal use.

There is no guest mode: you must be signed in to generate at all.

## VoiceLabs Pro [#voicelabs-pro]

Pro includes **2 hours of generated audio per month, as fair use**, plus unlimited saved cloned voices, commercial rights, and API access. It is a flat subscription:

* No per-character fee
* No per-generation fee
* No metered overage bill

The trial counts as active Pro access for its 7 days.

## When you hit a limit [#when-you-hit-a-limit]

When an account is out of quota, generation requests are refused with a clear quota error rather than silently failing — for example, agents connected over MCP receive a structured `QUOTA_EXCEEDED` error that links to your [billing page](https://app.voicelabs.now/billing) so you can keep generating.
