VAPI charges $0.05/min. Then adds STT, LLM, TTS, and Twilio on top.
Direct SIP trunk integration with VICIdial, Trackdrive, Five9, Genesys. No middleware.
You leave with a record.
Not a dashboard you rent. An open, signed file that anyone can check, against a certificate authority we do not control.

Volume pricing, optimized routing, and zero orchestration markup. We negotiate bulk rates with Deepgram, Cartesia, and Groq that individual Vapi customers can't access. Plus we don't charge a per-minute platform fee on top.
Yes. We accept inbound SIP transfers and originate outbound via SIP or Twilio. VICIdial and Trackdrive are already live in production with paying clients.
If you're building a consumer product with voice AI baked in, Vapi's flexibility matters. If you're running a call center and need leads qualified and transferred: you don't need to pick your own STT provider. You need it to work.
You can start on one campaign with no commitment. You test with real calls, real transfers, real data. If the unit economics don't work for you, you walk away.
Currently live with SSDI, Final Expense, ACA health subsidy, and general insurance qualification. Expanding into debt relief, tax, mortgage, and mass tort. Each vertical gets its own qualification script and compliance guardrails.
Run the numbers on your own calls.
Start on one campaign with the dialer you already run. Your first 10,000 recorded calls are free, and every one of them comes back signed.
