Plaud AI Plans: Monthly, Annual and the Free Trial
Every Plaud device comes with the free Starter plan and 300 transcription minutes a month. If you need more, pay by the year. Annual billing costs much less than twelve months of monthly payments on both Pro and Unlimited.
Try the plan before you pay for it. Start a trial within 72 hours of connecting your new device to your Plaud account and you get seven free days of annual Pro or Unlimited; after that, the trial is three days. Each account gets one trial, and it isn’t offered if your plan was bought on plaud.ai, so buying a device-and-plan bundle from the store means skipping the free week.
If you only run over your minutes now and then, the 600-minute pack costs less than a month of Pro and stays valid for 24 months after you activate it. The bigger packs cost less per minute, and the 6,000-minute pack works out 23% cheaper per minute than the 600.
Using a Plaud Discount Code With Its Other Offers
Plaud applies one discount per order. The code box takes a single code, and a code won’t stack with the student and military discount or the referral discount. Plaud has also run a free magnetic case offer with the Note, and codes didn’t apply while the free case was in the cart.
When Plaud Devices Go on Sale
In the year we tracked, Plaud ran a sale nearly every month, and the Note or NotePin was 20% off at most of them, so if you want either one, wait for the next sale. The Note Pro and NotePin S went on sale less often, and Fall Prime Day had the biggest discounts on those two. Apart from the Halloween flash sale, each sale also took $18 to $40 off a device bought together with an annual plan.
Spring
Plaud ran three sales one spring, in late March, late April and the week leading up to Memorial Day. The March and Memorial Day sales took 20% off the NotePin and 15% off the Note, and the April sale had 20% off both and 15% off the NotePin S.
Prime Day
Plaud’s four-day Prime Day sale took 20% off the Note and NotePin and 15% off the Note Pro and NotePin S.
July
The anniversary sale ran for a week in late July with 20% off the Note and NotePin.
Back to School and Labor Day
A Back to School week in late August took 15% off the Note Pro and NotePin S. The Labor Day sale that followed it took 10% off the same two.
Fall Prime Day
For two days in early October, the Note Pro and NotePin S were 20% off.
Halloween
A Halloween flash sale took 30% off the NotePin in purple, the deepest device discount we found.
Black Friday and Cyber Monday
One Black Friday sale ran from the week before Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday, with 20% off the Note and NotePin and $32 off a device-and-plan bundle.
December
One Christmas sale took 20% off the NotePin and 25% off the silver one.
Plaud Student, Military and Referral Discounts
Students, Educators, Healthcare and Military
Plaud takes 10% off the Note Pro, Note, NotePin S and NotePin for students, graduates who finished their degree in the last five years, educators, healthcare staff, first responders, active-duty military, veterans and military families. You verify through ID.me, Student Beans, GoCertify or GOVX ID on Plaud’s discount page, then enter the code it gives you at checkout. It covers full-price devices only.
A Friend’s Referral Link
A Plaud owner’s referral link takes 10% off a device without a code. It doesn’t cover accessories or plans.
Buying Plaud Devices for a Team
Plaud’s bulk pricing starts at three units of the same model, which get 3% off each. From five units you save $10 on every device, from 11 units $15, and from 51 to 100 units $20, whether you’re buying the Note, Note Pro or NotePin S.
Only units of the same model count toward a tier, so two Note Pros and a NotePin S get no bulk price. Need two models in bulk? Place a separate order for each. Entering a discount code removes the bulk price, so use whichever saves you more.

Frequently Asked Questions About PLAUD
Do Plaud discount codes work on a device-and-plan bundle?
No. Plaud’s checkout rejected codes on its device-and-plan bundles for the Note, Note Pro and NotePin S.
Can a coupon code be used on Plaud accessories or AI plans?
No. Codes didn’t apply to accessories like the magnetic case and the NotePin lanyard, or to Plaud AI plans and the 600-minute pack bought on plaud.ai.
What does “isn’t valid for the items in your cart” mean at Plaud’s checkout?
Plaud recognized the code, but nothing in your cart is covered by it. A code it doesn’t recognize at all gets “Enter a valid discount code” instead. Check which devices the code is for, then try it with one of those in your cart.
