What it does

Speech models and voice agents, sold as monthly credits. The official page is the source for this profile. This is not a hands-on review.

Who should care

Teams that want a voice API with a small free monthly credit. That is the audience, not a claim that every reader should adopt this vendor.

Our take: Watch

Credits and prepaid agent dollars are two allowances. Telephony and the language model can bill on top. This is an editorial recommendation for the stated use case, not an investment rating or a benchmark result.

Pricing without the confetti

Free is $0 with 20,000 credits a month. A $49 plan includes 1.25 million credits. Scale is $299. Source: public page, checked November 7, 2026. Where a license applies instead of a subscription, the license is the price.

Before you commit

Write down the job, what data enters it, who approves the output, and the maximum bill or license constraint you can live with. If the exit route is unclear, keep the trial small. These are recommended checks, not claims of completed testing.
