### Answer
Vapi does not provide direct information about monetizing inbound calls, such as implementing pay-by-the-minute functionalities within its documentation or available resources. However, Vapi does provide the infrastructure for handling inbound calls, which you can potentially use alongside your billing or payment systems to implement such monetization strategies [(1)](<https://docs.vapi.ai/quickstart/phone/inbound>) .

For specific use cases or integration of payment systems, you may need to handle the monetization logic externally or through custom development efforts. Vapi focuses on the voice AI capabilities and the technical handling of calls rather than direct billing features.

For more detailed guidance, you might consider exploring partnerships with payment gateways or consulting with a developer experienced in telecommunication billing systems.

You need to build logic on top us to accomplish it.
