Fair Use Policy

To keep Sauce Mastering AI fast and affordable for everyone, all plans operate under fair-use limits.

Why fair use?

Audio mastering is compute-intensive. Rather than promise "unlimited" processing that would force us to raise prices for everyone, we use a credit system with generous monthly allowances. This keeps pricing low and performance high.

What counts toward usage

Each master, mix improvement, stem separation, and vocal removal consumes credits as shown on the pricing page. Analysis and previews are free. Subscription plans include a monthly credit allowance; one-time credit packs never expire.

Reasonable use

Plans are intended for individual producers, artists, and small teams working on their own music or client work. Automated, bulk, or reseller usage that materially exceeds typical individual use may be rate-limited or require a higher plan.

Enforcement

We monitor for abusive patterns that degrade service for others. In rare cases we may throttle or pause accounts engaging in clearly abusive automated usage, and will always reach out before taking action where possible.

Changes

Fair-use thresholds may be adjusted as our infrastructure grows. Any material changes will be communicated in advance.
