Retell AI
the only vendor whose headline band already includes telephony, stt, tts and the llm — with the sub-rates printed underneath.
the most transparent pricing in the category and close to a real all-in figure — provided you resist the add-on menu that can double it.
retell publishes the component breakdown directly: voice infrastructure, stt, tts, llm and telephony each with their own sub-rate, summing into the quoted band. no other vendor here does that, and it means the advertised $0.07 to $0.31 is the closest thing to an honest all-in number in this ranking. the spread is almost entirely which llm you pick.
$10 of free credit, 20 concurrent calls included as standard, and an enterprise on-premise tier that deploys retell inside your own infrastructure — unusual for a platform this self-serve.
the description above is ours, condensed from the ranking. pricing moves — check it on the vendor's own page before you rely on it.

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.
