One rate per product. Metered per second. That's it.
Pick a product on the left and the whole answer is on the right: the rate, what it includes, the free tier, and what a real workload costs. No seats, no platform fee, no token math.
Billed by the second at Omni’s $0.05/min. A 1-minute-minimum vendor would already have charged you $0.05.
Omni
- The whole call in one bill: hearing, reasoning, retrieval, tool calls, and speech
- OpenAI-compatible realtime API and managed WebSocket
- No platform fee on top; the minute price is the whole price

What you see is what you pay
Our competitors use this to hide charges from you. We don’t. What you see is what you pay, and often lower when you commit higher volume.
- Per-second metering on every AI product; telephony is the only 1-minute pulse
- No seats, no platform fee, no monthly minimum, no annual lock-in
- OpenAI-compatible: point your existing SDK at api.pyai.com
- Test mode is free forever; a sandbox key never bills
- No egress charges, no overage tiers, no support paywall
- Commit volume and the rate goes down, never up

How billing works
AI per-second, rounded once
We meter exact seconds for AI products and round once at the invoice line. Telephony keeps a 1-minute pulse because carrier minutes are resold separately.
Free credit first
Your $50.00 signup credit is spent before anything else. No card needed to explore.
Going live
Test mode is free forever. When you’re ready for real traffic, add a card or top up prepaid credit in the console - self-serve, no sales call.
No per-call minimums. We round once a month.
Most voice platforms round every call up to the next minute, a habit inherited from telephony. On a fleet of short calls, that quietly multiplies your bill. PyAI sums your exact seconds across the whole billing period and rounds once, at the invoice line.
100,000 calls × 12s, each rounded up to a 1-minute minimum = 100,000 billed minutes.
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; AI products bill per second by default. Telephony keeps a 1-minute pulse because resold carrier minutes have different economics.

Pricing FAQ
How does billing work?
AI products bill per second by default and round once at the invoice line. Managed telephony keeps a 1-minute pulse because carrier minutes have different economics.
Are there per-call minimums?
No. Most voice platforms round every call up to the next minute, which inflates the bill on short calls. PyAI sums your exact billable seconds for each product across the whole billing period and rounds once, at the invoice line - never per call. A fleet of short calls is billed on its summed minutes, not minute-rounded individually.
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.
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.
