Five platforms, their published rates side by side, and what a month of calls adds up to on each.
Published rates reach up to $0.31 a minute on Retell, $0.129 on Vapi (its own 1,000-minute estimate) and $0.14 on Bland before telephony. Autocalls charges $0.09 per extra minute on Agency plans with the model, voice and telephony included ($0.16 on Pro, $0.20 on Starter). Synthflow publishes no per-minute rate.
One rate, the whole bill: Autocalls minutes cover the model, the voice, transcription and telephony. On Retell and Vapi the model and the voice are billed on top of a $0.055 or $0.05 platform fee, and Bland bills telephony separately.
At 5,000 minutes a month, Autocalls Agency is $546 with the model, voice and telephony included. Vapi with Core runs up to $674, Bland $700 on Start before telephony and Retell up to $1,550. Move the slider to your own volume.
At 5,000 minutes, Autocalls costs $128 to $1,004 a month less than the other platforms above.
Assumptions: competitors at the top of their published rates. Retell at $0.31 a minute. Vapi at $0.129 a minute (its own 1,000-minute estimate) plus Core at $29. Bland telephony not included. Autocalls: plan fee plus extra minutes at the plan's rate. Monthly billing, US dollars before tax.

Bland and Autocalls put the language model and the voice inside the per-minute rate, and Autocalls minutes also cover telephony, which Bland bills separately. Retell and Vapi bill the model and voice on top of a $0.055 or $0.05 platform fee. Synthflow publishes an Enterprise starting price, not a rate.

Because the rates price different things. A $0.05 platform fee and a $0.14 rate with the model inside are not the same product. The voice you choose can move a rate by several cents a minute, and monthly minimums change the math at low volume.
Check what the rate leaves out: the model, the voice, transcription and telephony. Two rates only compare once they cover the same four things.
On Retell, the voice line alone runs from $0.015 for platform voices to $0.10 for ElevenLabs v3. On Autocalls, premium voices are included in the minute.
Vapi Pro has a $999 monthly minimum, Bland Build a $299 platform fee, and Synthflow Enterprise starts at $30,000 a year. Autocalls plans run $34 to $419 a month with minutes included.
Autocalls Agency White Label is $419 a month and lets an agency resell AI voice agents under its own brand. It includes 3,500 minutes, then $0.09 per extra minute, with the model, voice and telephony covered. Your clients log in on your domain and pay you through your own Stripe.
We opened each vendor's public pricing page on 7 October 2026 and copied the figures as printed, in US dollars before tax. Where a vendor states its own range or estimate, we use it as stated. Monthly totals multiply those rates by the minutes and add the plan fee. Autocalls figures come from our pricing page.
