    Whisper V1 FAQ

    How much does Whisper V1 cost?

    Whisper V1 Whisper API pricing is currently N/A (Avg Price) for speech-to-text. That is the public list rate from the llm-stats / ZeroEval feed, not a private contract. Volume discounts, resolution, duration, and voice or seed settings can change the invoice even when the published Avg Price stays the same.

    How does Whisper V1 rank on the speech-to-text leaderboard?

    Whisper V1 scores 538 on Speech to Text. Win rate is 50% across 2 Speech to Text matches. Pair that arena score with Whisper API pricing when you pick a model: a slightly lower Magia or ELO can still win if generations are much cheaper.

    Is Whisper V1 open source?

    No. Whisper V1 is proprietary (Proprietary) and available through OpenAI's API. There is no public weight download, so Whisper API pricing is the rate that matters for production.

    What are the cheapest alternatives to Whisper V1?

    Start with GPT Live Transcribe, GPT Transcribe, Claude Sonnet 4.5. Open a comparison page from this model to see Avg Price and Speech to Text side by side, then jump back to the speech-to-text pricing table and sort by price. The cheapest speech-to-text API is not always the one with the highest arena score.

    How do I compare Whisper V1 with another speech-to-text model?

    Use the Compare picker on this page, the same control as LLM comparison. Search by model or provider, pick a second model, and AnotherWrapper opens a dedicated Whisper V1 vs page with Avg Price, Speech to Text, license, and release date. Share that URL if you want a second opinion on the matchup.

    Where does Whisper V1 pricing data come from?

    This page normalizes public llm-stats and ZeroEval arena data for speech-to-text models, then quotes Whisper API pricing as Avg Price. Prices and scores refresh daily. Private endpoints, promo credits, and committed-use contracts can differ from the public list rate, so treat this as the comparable public number, not your invoice.

    When was Whisper V1 released?

    Whisper V1 was released on 2022-09-01. Newer speech-to-text models appear first on the speech-to-text pricing table. Release date is useful when you are avoiding a deprecated checkpoint, not when you are picking the cheapest Avg Price.
