Telnyx Voice AI
calls its rate 'all-in' on a page that lists telephony and llm tokens as separate charges.
genuinely fast infrastructure and a genuinely misleading label — 'all-in' excludes the phone call and the model.
the technical proposition is real: telnyx co-locates gpus with its telephony points of presence, eliminating inter-provider network hops, and claims sub-200ms latency as a result — the lowest figure any vendor here publishes, and its own claim.
the pricing language is the problem. $0.05 a minute is labelled 'all-in' and covers speech-to-text, text-to-speech and orchestration plus a roster of included voices. call control is $0.002 a minute, webrtc another $0.002, sip trunking fees apply, and llm tokens are billed separately per million. premium voices bill per character on top. a realistic standard call is $0.07 to $0.10, before any premium voice.
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.
