Issue 03PricingMMXXVI

Pay only for what
you use.

No subscriptions. No minimums. Credits never expire. Every component of every call — LLM tokens, TTS characters, STT minutes, telephony time — billed at provider cost with a transparent margin disclosed at the per-call breakdown.

How it works.

One balance. Drawn down per call. Topped up automatically when it crosses your threshold. Nothing else to think about.

A.

Pay-As-You-Go Credits

Purchase credits. Use them at your own pace. Credits never expire. No monthly fee, no seat tax, no minimum commitment.

B.

Auto-Recharge

Set a balance threshold. We top up the configured amount the moment it crosses. You never run out mid-campaign.

C.

Real-Time Deduction

Every call shows its decomposition the moment it ends — LLM, TTS, STT, telephony, line by line. No invoice surprises at month end.
