Per-minute pricing

Range: $0.10–$0.40/min. PRO: low entry cost. CON: traffic spikes blow the budget. Best for low-volume, predictable scenarios.

Flat subscription

Range: $150–$1,500/month with included call volume. PRO: predictable. CON: overage fees on heavy months. Best for predictable budgets.

Custom deployment

Range: $1,500–$5,000+/month flat, fully inclusive. PRO: predictable + comprehensive. CON: higher entry. Best for regulated, integrated, multi-location operations.

Decision shortcut

  • <100 calls/month → per-minute or self-service
  • 100–500 calls/month → flat subscription
  • 500+ calls/month or regulated → custom deployment
