Voice Infra and six voice AI platforms. Their figures are quoted from their own public pages, read on 8 October 2026. A dash means the page does not say.
Sources, checked on
- A per-minute price does not always mean the same minute. Some figures are a platform fee before speech, model and phone costs; others include them. The notes under each name say which.
- Prices and pages change. We read these on 8 October 2026, so check the links before you decide.
- Quotation marks are their words, not ours.
