# Deepgram Cost Tuning
## Prerequisites
- An aggregate usage/cost baseline, approved budget owner, delivery/quality SLO, and data/retention policy.
- Synthetic fixtures and a reversible optimization/change record.
## Examples
Compare aggregate duration, model, concurrency, and error data in a development/staging workload, change one approved model or batching parameter, and observe the quality/latency/cost tradeoff. Revert if quality or reliability drops; do not reduce retention, privacy, or consent safeguards merely to lower spend.
## Overview
Optimize Deepgram API costs through smart model selection, audio preprocessing to reduce billable minutes, usage monitoring via the Deepgram API, budget guardrails, and feature-aware cost estimation. Deepgram bills per audio minute processed.
