About Read AI

Read AI is a productivity and collaboration software company based in Seattle, Washington, that builds an AI assistant for meetings, email, and messaging. Their tools automatically record, transcribe, and summarize meetings across platforms like Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Slack, and provide analytics on engagement and follow‑ups. Teams use Read AI to generate automatic notes, action items, and recap emails, as well as to streamline scheduling and manage knowledge from recurring meetings.

A Read AI charge may appear on your bank or card statement if you signed up for a paid Read AI plan, upgraded from the free tier, or added paid seats for your team. Common scenarios include monthly or annual subscription fees after a trial period, per‑user charges for business or enterprise accounts, or prorated charges when you add or remove team members. You might also see a small temporary authorization hold when you first add a card or update your payment method; this is typically released automatically and never fully captured as a charge.

If you’re unsure about a Read AI charge, start by logging into your account at read.ai and checking the Billing or Subscription section for your current plan, invoices, and payment history. Look for emails from Read AI in the inbox associated with your work or personal email, as receipts and renewal notices are usually sent there. To resolve questions, you can contact Read AI’s support via their website help/contact form or support email, provide the last four digits of the card, charge date, and amount, and ask them to locate the transaction. Common issues—such as forgotten trials, duplicate work/personal accounts, or old corporate cards still on file—are typically handled by cancelling the unused subscription, adjusting seat counts, and requesting a refund if it falls within their stated refund window or exception policy.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of Read AI subscriptions might show up as charges on my statement?

Read AI offers a free tier and several paid plans, such as Pro and Business/Enterprise, typically billed per user on a monthly or annual basis. A charge on your statement is usually your recurring subscription fee, an upgrade from monthly to annual billing, or additional seats you’ve added for your team. You can see your active plan and renewal date by logging into your account at read.ai and navigating to Settings > Billing or Subscription.

What are the typical amounts for Read AI charges?

Amounts vary depending on your plan, billing cycle, and number of seats. Individual Pro‑style plans are often in the range of a few tens of dollars per user per month, while Business/Enterprise plans can be higher and are usually quoted per seat and sometimes billed annually. If you see a larger amount, it might represent an annual renewal or multiple team members billed together on one invoice. Your exact pricing and invoices are listed in your Billing section at read.ai.

Why was I charged by Read AI after my free trial ended?

When you start a Read AI trial on a paid tier and enter a credit card, the account usually converts to a paid subscription automatically at the end of the trial unless you cancel beforehand. The charge you see is likely the first billing cycle (monthly or annual) for the plan you selected at signup. You can confirm this by checking your original welcome or trial emails and reviewing your plan details in the Billing area of your Read AI account.

How do I cancel or pause my Read AI subscription to stop future charges?

To cancel, sign in at read.ai, go to Settings or Admin > Billing/Subscription, and choose the option to downgrade to the free plan or cancel your paid plan. If you manage a team, you may need to remove or reduce paid seats before the change takes effect. After cancellation, your access to premium features remains active until the end of the current billing period, and then you will not be billed again unless you reactivate or upgrade.

How can I request a refund for a Read AI charge I don’t recognize or no longer need?

Refunds are handled by Read AI’s support team and are typically considered for recent charges, mistaken renewals, or accidental multiple accounts. Go to read.ai, look for the Help/Support or Contact page, and reach out with the email address on the account, the date and amount of the charge, and the last four digits of the card. Explain the situation (for example, unintentional renewal or duplicate subscription); support will review your case against their refund policy and let you know whether a full or partial refund is possible.

Why do I see a small temporary or $0–$2 Read AI transaction on my card?

Read AI, like many SaaS providers, may place a small authorization hold when you first add or update a payment method to verify that the card is valid. This appears as a very low‑value or $0 test transaction and is not an actual charge; the authorization automatically drops off from your statement, usually within a few business days. If it remains in a pending state for longer than expected, your bank can confirm that it will not post as a finalized charge.

Could this Read AI charge be from my work account or a team I’m part of?

Yes. If your company uses Read AI for meeting transcripts and summaries, the subscription may be billed to a central card managed by IT, finance, or a team lead, and the descriptor on the statement will still reference Read AI or read.ai. In some cases, users accidentally set up a paid plan with their work email using a personal card. Check both your work and personal inboxes for Read AI receipts, and, if needed, ask your admin if they have an active Read AI subscription associated with your email.

How can I contact Read AI about a billing issue or to get a copy of my invoice?

Visit read.ai and navigate to the Help, Support, or Contact section to submit a support request—this is usually the fastest way to reach their billing team. Provide your account email, organization name (if applicable), the last four digits of the card, and the date and amount of the charge so they can quickly locate your transaction. You can also often download invoices and payment receipts directly from the Billing or Invoices tab within your account dashboard.
