Hi Vapi Team, I saw your announcement about the pricing changes starting June 3, 2025, and I have a few questions: 1. Will the 1,000 free minutes per month be completely discontinued under the new model? 2. I still have some unused free minutes—will they carry over after the new pricing takes effect, or will they expire? 3. I used the cost estimator with the following: Tier: Ad-Hoc Infra 1,000 calls/month, 1 min each 1,000 prompt tokens It showed $96.80/month. Does this mean I’ll need to pay this amount even if I don’t use all 1,000 minutes? Or will I be charged only for actual usage? 4. If I add credit and a card, can I continue using the service strictly based on usage, or will there be a minimum monthly charge? Thanks for the clarification! Best, Muhammad Arham

Here's what I can confirm: - Vapi's per-minute rate is $0.05/minute, and you are charged based on actual usage—there is no required minimum monthly charge under the credit-based billing system. - The cost estimator reflects the cost if you use all 1,000 minutes, but you only pay for what you actually use. However, I could not find explicit information about whether the 1,000 free minutes per month will be discontinued or if unused free minutes will carry over after June 3, 2025. Could you please clarify if the 1,000 free minutes per month will be discontinued and what will happen to any unused free minutes after the pricing change?

Recently, we have discontinued the VAPI FREE 1000 minutes plan in favor of a $10 credits plan. Upon registration, you will be credited with $10 in credits for your VAPI account. Your Credits will be adjusted accordingly. Regarding cost estimation, if you add a credit card, you can continue using our services based on your usage, with no minimum charge.
