Zep charges per 350 bytes, so the same 15,000 episodes can land on a $125 or a $375 plan

Zep's pricing is metered on episode size, not episode count. One credit covers the first 350 bytes, and every additional 350 bytes or part of it adds another. So credits = ceil(bytes / 350) . I ran that against a fixed workload of 15,000 episodes a month, changing only the average episode size. Plan prices and allowances come from Zep's pricing page , checked 14 October 2026. The arithmetic is…

Zep's pricing structure depends on the size of each episode, rather than the number of episodes. One credit is used for the first 350 bytes, and every additional 350 bytes or part thereof incurs another credit. The total cost is calculated by dividing the total bytes by 350 and rounding up to the nearest whole credit. I tested this formula using 15,000 episodes per month with varying average episode sizes.

The Flex plan costs $125 for 300 bytes per episode, the Flex Plus plan is priced at $375 for 700 bytes per episode, and includes a top-up option for larger episode sizes.
