How this works: Vendor websites advertise base rates (often $0.05–0.09/min). Real all-in costs are typically 2–3x that once you add LLM, voices, telephony, and overages. We've baked the real numbers into our recommendations so you don't get burned. Pricing is current as of 2026 and changes monthly — always confirm on the vendor's site before committing.

Voice AI Platform Picker — FAQ

How accurate is the voice AI pricing in this picker?

Pricing is verified against vendor public pricing pages as of 2026. We show platform fee + LLM + STT + TTS + Twilio telephony separately so you can see the real all-in cost — typically 2–3× the headline platform fee. Vendors change pricing monthly, so always confirm on the vendor's site before committing.

What does "real cost breakdown" mean?

Most platforms quote a low headline rate (e.g. Vapi $0.05/min) that only covers their orchestration layer. The real per-minute cost adds LLM (GPT-4o-mini ~$0.003/min), STT (Deepgram ~$0.004/min), TTS (ElevenLabs ~$0.030/min), and Twilio telephony (~$0.015/min). The picker shows all five components plus a total.

Which voice AI platforms does the picker compare?

16 platforms: Vapi, Retell AI, Synthflow, Bland AI, Voiceflow, ElevenLabs Agents, Lindy, Autocalls, Deepgram Voice Agent, Hume AI EVI, Cartesia, PlayAI, LiveKit, Air AI, Sierra AI, and PolyAI.

Is there an email gate or sign-up?

No. The picker is fully free, runs entirely in your browser, and never asks for an email address or account.

Which voice AI platform is cheapest at scale?

LiveKit ($0.01/min orchestration) and Bland ($0.09/min all-inclusive) are typically the cheapest at 10K+ minutes per month, but the right answer depends on your stack. Use the picker to model your real per-minute cost across platforms.

Can I use this picker for outbound calling campaigns?

Yes — select "outbound sales" as a use case. Bland AI, Air AI, and Synthflow are the strongest outbound-specific platforms, and the picker will rank them based on your volume and budget.
