Frequently asked questions
How does per-minute pricing work?
You pay for connected call time only, prorated to the exact second. The rate includes everything: LLM processing, speech-to-text, text-to-speech, and telephony. No separate charges for any component.
Is there a free tier?
Yes. The Start plan is free with no platform fee. You pay only for the minutes you use at $0.14/min with 10 concurrent calls and 100 calls/day. No credit card required.
Are there any hidden fees?
No. Our per-minute rate is all-inclusive. Unlike other platforms that charge separately for LLM tokens, STT, TTS, and telephony, Bland bundles everything into one flat rate.
How does Bland compare to Vapi's $0.05/min?
Vapi's $0.05/min is a platform fee only. You still pay separately for STT, LLM, and TTS, bringing actual costs to $0.23-$0.33/min. Bland's rate is all-inclusive and typically cheaper.
What is a forward-deployed engineer?
FDEs are Bland engineers who work directly with your team to build, optimize, and scale your voice AI deployment. Build and Scale plans get pooled FDE access. Enterprise gets a dedicated FDE.
Can I bring my own Twilio?
Yes. BYOT customers don't pay transfer fees. You handle carrier costs directly; Bland charges only the per-minute AI rate.
