Full Transparency Pricing
Learn how voice-to-voice interactions are priced, including Convocore’s platform fees, providers’ costs, and concurrency limitations. We believe in complete transparency about what you’re paying for.
Convocore charges a platform fee of 3 cents per minute ($0.03/min) in addition to the provider’s costs. This covers:
- Infrastructure and hosting
- Real-time processing and routing
- Monitoring and analytics
- Support and maintenance
- Platform features and integrations
The platform fee is the same across all plans. Your subscription tier determines how many concurrent calls you can handle and what features you have access to.
🎯 Total Cost Breakdown
Your total cost per minute for voice calls = Platform Fee + STT Provider + TTS Provider + LLM Costs + Telephony (if applicable)
Example calculation:
- Platform fee: $0.03/min
- STT (AssemblyAI): $0.0088/min
- TTS (Google Cloud): $0.0110/min
- LLM (GPT-4o Mini): ~$0.002/min
- Total: ~0.052/minor5.20 per 100 minutes
We include a 10% markup on provider costs unless you’re on the Enterprise plan. Enterprise users are charged the exact provider costs with no markup.
