Fair use on Unlimited

What "unlimited" means on the Unlimited plan, where the fair-use line sits and what happens if you reach it.

Unlimited is built so you never have to watch a meter. There's no allowance bar in Settings and no number to keep an eye on. Behind that, a fair-use limit keeps the plan sustainable for everyone and we'd rather tell you exactly where it is than leave it vague.

Where the line is

Unlimited covers 3,000 minutes of AI notes a month, which is 50 hours. That's about two and a half hours of meetings every working day. Nobody using Parley Notes for their own meetings gets near it and the line exists for scripted or shared accounts rather than for people.

What counts towards it is the same as on every plan: the length of audio written up into notes, video, podcast and audio files in the Hub, the live transcript at your computer and re-summaries beyond the 50 a month the plan includes. See How minutes are counted.

What's genuinely unlimited

  • Recording is included on every plan.
  • Transcribing on your phone or computer and speaker separation.
  • Notes from Slack threads and forwarded emails have no ceiling on Unlimited.
  • Searching, reading, editing and exporting.

What happens if you reach it

Nothing is lost. Parley Notes tells you plainly that you've reached this month's fair-use limit. Your recording and everything transcribed so far are saved and the note is written on the first of next month on its own. Recording keeps working in the meantime and you can add a top-up if you'd rather not wait.

Ask Parley

Questions aren't metered by minutes. Unlimited allows up to 300 Ask Parley requests a day, which ordinary use doesn't reach and the count starts again at midnight UTC. If you ever do hit it, everything already saved stays available.

If your use is unusual

Running interviews all day, writing up a conference, a team sharing one account: tell us at support@parleynotes.com before you hit the line. A top-up or the Business plan for teams, is usually the right fit.
