Our take
Pick Gladia if voice and media teams who will spend the €50 starter credits (~312 async hours on Solaria-3) and then top up a prepaid wallet, not a team looking for a $20 meeting-notes seat. Pick Soniox if voice teams who will start on the API hour rates ($0.10 async / $0.12 realtime) and only open the App when they want a weekly-credit scribe at $0.
