Bland AI
bundles the llm, stt and tts with no token charges — the simplest bill here, with telephony left outside it.
genuinely bundled where it matters and honest about the one thing it isn't — plus the highest published concurrency ceiling in the category.
'no token charges' is the useful claim and it holds: the quoted talk-time rate covers the llm, speech-to-text and text-to-speech, so the usual four-way arithmetic collapses to two. add telephony pass-through and a realistic call is roughly $0.12 to $0.17 a minute, which is competitive and easy to forecast.
concurrency runs 10, 50 and 100 across the three plans, the highest published ceilings here, and self-hosted or on-premise deployment is available for enterprise with us, eu and apac data residency on request. bland claims 400ms response against a 1,240ms industry average — its own figure and its own comparison.

we researched this category against vendors' own pricing pages and licence files. that is where this line comes from — not from the vendor, and not from anything they paid for.
