Steno pricing
The AI tool, Transcript Genius, is free. Steno gives it to firms that book depositions and does not charge extra or cap how much you use it.
What you pay
- What costs money is the deposition itself: the court reporter, the videographer, the interpreter, the room.
- Those prices are not on the website. You have to ask for a rate card, and the price can be negotiated.
- The cost of things going wrong is listed: cancel a court reporter late and it can cost up to $400, and unpaid bills add 1.5% interest a month.
- There is also a payment plan called DelayPay that lets a firm wait until the case settles before paying.
How Steno pricing works
Steno charges for reporting, video and interpreter work at rates quoted per firm, and gives its AI away. Transcript Genius is included with no extra charge and no usage limit, but Steno may change its price or limit a person's or entity's use at its sole discretion. Court reporters and videographers can generally be canceled by 4pm in the deposition's time zone on the prior business day to avoid a late fee. Cancellation fees for a reporter or videographer may be up to $400 per job.
Interpreter cancellation windows run from 48 hours to 30 days ahead depending on language and dialect, and the fee may be the interpreter's full charge. Unpaid invoices accrue interest after 30 days at the lesser of 1.5 percent a month or the legal maximum. DelayPay defers case costs until settlement, is described as interest free and not tied to the size of the recovery, and is open to all parties on a case but not all case types.
Under the terms of use effective 10 September 2026, the core rates sit on a rate card provided on request and may be negotiated. Any quote is a nonbinding estimate, and the firm stays liable if the final invoice is higher. Payments run through Stripe and Bill.com.
Note: No entry price is shown because no recurring rate for the core service is published. The AI is included at no charge but is not sold on its own, so a zero would misstate it. Steno publishes figures for cancellation fees, interpreter terms and late interest, but not for the core service.
