Paying for Descript step by step
Use the card like any foreign bank card:
- Upgrade in the Descript app or website; manage it in Settings → Billing.
- Prices are per person per month; annual billing saves up to 35%.
- Each plan includes monthly transcription minutes and AI credits; upgrade if you run short.
- In a team drive the admin pays for every seat from one card.
What can go wrong
If the Descript payment fails, it is usually one of these:
- Annual plans are charged a year ahead in one payment — the card needs the full amount.
- Adding a team member is charged immediately.
- Tax for the billing-address country may be added.
