Omni uses metered session duration.
Most voice platforms round every call up to the next minute, a habit inherited from telephony. On a fleet of short calls, that can multiply your bill. For Omni sessions, PyAI sums exact seconds across the whole billing period and rounds once, at the invoice line.
Typical: rounded per call
$5,000
100,000 calls × 12s, each rounded up to a 1-minute minimum = 100,000 billed minutes.
Omni: summed, rounded once
$1,000
100,000 calls × 12s = 20,000 actual minutes, billed as metered. No per-call rounding.
Same calls, same rate, 5× the bill comes from rounding alone. That gap is invisible until you read the invoice.
Illustrative at $0.05/min for Omni speech + brain. Synchronous Hear instead rounds each non-empty upload to whole minutes, minimum one. Managed telephony is separate at $0.01/min and keeps a 1-minute pulse because resold carrier minutes have different economics.

Pricing questions.
Clear answers.
See how the rate card, sandbox testing and live usage fit together.
How does PyAI pricing compare with Vapi?
PyAI Omni is $0.05/min for speech + brain plus a separately listed telephony rate. Vapi advertises about $0.05/min as a platform fee; all-in typically lands around $0.10-$0.31/min once you add STT, an LLM, TTS, and telephony.
Are there per-call minimums?
It depends on the endpoint. Synchronous Hear transcription rounds each non-empty request up to a whole minute, with a one-minute minimum. Speak bills fractional minutes of generated audio. Omni sessions use metered duration; managed telephony has a one-minute pulse. See the metering documentation for each product's units.
What's in the free tier?
$50.00 in free credit at signup, no card. Spend draws down the credit; when it runs out you simply add funding. AMD's first 5,000 answered calls each month are free.
Can I go live without a card?
Your sandbox test key works instantly and free. When you're ready for live traffic, add a card or top up prepaid credit in the console - self-serve, no sales call. Phone verification unlocks free live credit first.
Are there volume discounts?
Yes. The rate card is the ceiling, not the floor: Business and Enterprise commit volume and pay less. Batch transcription is already half price at $0.0005/min, and Trace can be packaged as an annual compliance plan.
