| Considerations | Voice agents are in beta and require Standard or above. Skills, ticket sources, Stripe actions, and advanced analytics have plan requirements. Phone and Slack tools differ from web-chat tools. Custom workflows need configuration, permissions, and testing; source quality and refresh schedules affect answers. AI credits vary with models and actions, and phone service and voice usage need separate budgeting. | Total per-minute cost includes selected STT, LLM, TTS and telephony providers; more engineering is required than turnkey tools. |
