Is Vapi's custom voice model included in the base rate of $0.05/min? If not, what’s the cost per character or minute? Also, what does this base rate (0.05$) cover? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1354792702817996881/1354792703313055754/image.png?ex=67e69487&is=67e54307&hm=5dc7f83af6839cfa532494d9036793f870ecc243d22654da20d7521eddc2fa02&

Hi there! 👋 I wasn't able to find the exact cost per character or minute for Vapi's custom voice models, as these costs vary by provider. However, I can help with your other questions about Vapi's pricing structure. Regarding your questions about Vapi's pricing: Custom voice models are not included in the base rate of $0.05/min. According to the [pricing documentation](https://docs.vapi.ai/pricing), "Transcriber, model, voice, & telephony costs charged at-cost." This means that voice model costs are separate from Vapi's platform fee. The base rate of $0.05/min specifically covers the Vapi platform fee. As stated in the [documentation](https://docs.vapi.ai/billing/estimating-costs), this is "the Vapi platform fee of 5¢/minute (prorated per-second)." This fee is for the use of Vapi's platform services and infrastructure. For custom voice models, the costs vary depending on the provider. The [billing examples](https://docs.vapi.ai/billing/examples) mention estimates ranging from approximately $0.02/min to $0.04/min, but these are described as "vague assumptions that can vary widely." Different voice providers have different pricing structures: - ElevenLabs: ~$0.04/min - PlayHT: ~$0.07/min - Azure: ~$0.02/min - LMNT: ~$0.03/min Is there anything else you'd like to know about Vapi's pricing or voice options?

Hey Bibek Shah, VAPI 5 cents cost is for using VAPI services. As of now, you are not being charged for VAPI Voices and VAPI LLM because they are still new to production and after some time, we will decide the pricing for them. As of now, they are free to use.
