Same technology. A fraction of the price.
VAI Sub isn't a reseller markup. We engineered our voice stack ourselves — the speech models, the LLM orchestration, and the telephony — so we pass the savings straight to you.
Best-in-class Speech
The same ASR, TTS and streaming voice models the big platforms use — ultra-low latency, natural turn-taking, and barge-in.
Frontier LLM Reasoning
Agents powered by the latest large language models for real conversations, tool use, and dynamic decisioning.
Carrier-grade Telephony
Programmable inbound & outbound calling, SIP trunking, and global numbers — built on the same carrier infrastructure as Telnyx.
Enterprise Reliability
Redundant, monitored, and secure. Call recording, transcripts, and analytics included.
Simple, honest pricing
No setup fees. No hidden onboarding charges. Just the lowest per-minute AI calling rate on the market.
Zero setup fees. We do the prompt & setup engineering for you.
As low as 7.5 cents per minute, inbound or outbound.

Competitor rates are public starting prices and vary by usage, voice/model selection, and add-ons; final cost is often higher once telephony, models, and concurrency are combined. * Many platforms advertise no setup fee but require you to build, integrate, and maintain the agent yourself. Comparison for illustration.
