Hi, I was wondering whether you got better pricing for the providers? So that if you bill it at cost, the cost would be lower than using our own API key.

@Yestix Hello! VAPI is designed to provide a seamless experience, and part of that includes handling API requests with our own keys when necessary. While we aim to offer competitive pricing, the rates we get from providers may vary. When we use our keys for your API requests, we bill you at cost, meaning we do not add any markup to the provider's price. This ensures transparency and fairness in billing. If you're looking for better pricing, it's always a good idea to compare the costs of using your own API keys versus the costs when VAPI uses its keys. Keep in mind that our goal is to make things as convenient as possible for you, with billing that "just works." If you have any specific questions about pricing or billing, please feel free to ask!

The cost may not be lower but you will get better results and in lesser response time.(lower latency)

Ok, do you have an overview of the cost of using your API keys?

FYI: - Vapi charges a fixed platform fee of $0.05 per minute. - Vapi will pass on the provider costs to you at-cost. For approximate costs please refer to the dashboard because cost vary depending upon the provider and model used.

Will do some testing, thanks 🙂
