Pinch's models preserve the speaker's voice, tone, and timing while translating, so conversations feel natural rather than read from captions. The system handles overlapping speech and backchanneling, and the macOS app avoids meeting-bot invitations by using a virtual microphone.
The company offers simple usage-based pricing without subscriptions, tiers, or watermarks, and publishes its model research openly, including the Falcon and Relay-1 families.
Pinch uses a prepaid wallet with no subscriptions or monthly minimums. Every new account receives five dollars in free credits, and usage is deducted per minute at product-specific rates.
Current rates include two cents per minute for the real-time API, four cents per minute for the macOS desktop app, two cents per participant minute for Rooms, and fifty cents per minute of source media for dubbing.
Pinch's product suite centers on real-time speech translation across languages. It includes a browser-based meeting room with a built-in interpreter, a macOS desktop app for existing Zoom, Meet, and Teams calls, a dubbing studio for video and audio, and a developer API.
All products share the same underlying speech models and a single prepaid wallet, with usage priced per minute and support for dozens of languages.
