Hi there! 👋
I'm unable to provide the specific at-cost rates for Talkscriber, Google (LLM), and Eleven Labs 2.5. However, I can definitely help with Vapi's base pricing structure and how the overall pricing works when using these services.
According to the [Vapi pricing documentation](
https://docs.vapi.ai/pricing), Vapi charges a base platform fee of
$0.05 per minute for calls, which is prorated to the second. On top of this base fee, all provider costs (including transcriber, model, voice, and telephony) are charged at-cost without any markup.
For your specific use case:
- **Talkscriber (Speech-to-text)**: This is typically billed per minute, prorated, according to the [estimating costs guide](
https://docs.vapi.ai/billing/estimating-costs).
- **Google LLM**: LLM providers like Google often bill per million or per thousand tokens as mentioned in the [estimating costs documentation](
https://docs.vapi.ai/billing/estimating-costs).
- **Eleven Labs 2.5 (Text-to-speech)**: TTS providers typically bill per character as noted in the [cost estimation guide](
https://docs.vapi.ai/billing/estimating-costs).
An important note about billing: If you use Vapi's provider keys (like for Eleven Labs), you'll be charged by Vapi. If you use your own provider keys, you'll be charged directly by the provider, as explained in a [Discord conversation](

Vapi also offers $10 in free credits to new accounts, and phone numbers are billed at $2 per month if you need those.
Would you like me to help you understand any other aspects of Vapi's pricing structure?
