Hey, can anyone explain how the pricing works for connection charges and telephony charges? I’m using Twilio for outbound calls with a SIP ID, and I’ve added that in Livekit Telephony. Will I be charged both Twilio charges per min and LiveKit telephony charges per min? Also, how exactly are connection charges and telephony charges calculated?

Thanks for reaching out, Prathma. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.
Hey there! Just wanted to break down how LiveKit Telephony charges work so it’s clear and easy to follow: Connection Charges: • We charge per participant minute for human and agent participants once you go beyond the included minutes in your plan. But good news—SIP users don’t get charged for connection minutes at all. Telephony Charges: • When it comes to telephony minutes, these are based on the time spent on inbound or outbound calls via SIP. Here’s how it breaks down by plan: ◦ Build Plan: Comes with 1,000 telephony minutes, and any extra minutes are $0.004 each. ◦ Ship Plan: Includes 8,000 telephony minutes, with overage also at $0.004 per minute. ◦ Scale Plan: Offers 45,000 telephony minutes, and extra minutes are just $0.003 each. ◦ Custom Plans: We’ve got options tailored for enterprise needs, with volume pricing to fit you perfectly. Twilio Charges: • Since you’re using Twilio for outbound calls, they’ll bill you separately according to their own pricing. So, in a nutshell: you’ll see charges from both Twilio for their services and LiveKit for telephony minutes used. Remember, SIP connections themselves don’t add connection minute charges, but they do count towards your telephony minutes.

Why i have to give seperate charges for both
t
Hey there! I wanted to explain why you see separate charges for LiveKit Telephony and Twilio services—they’re actually covering different parts of the telephony setup: • LiveKit Telephony Charges: These cover things like the SIP connection minutes and all the telephony features LiveKit provides, such as managing participants and making sure your calls happen in real-time. • Twilio Charges: Twilio takes care of the underlying SIP trunking infrastructure—think phone numbers, call routing, and other telephony services. Their charges are separate because they handle the parts outside of LiveKit. So, to sum it up, LiveKit and Twilio are two different services working together to make SIP-based telephony possible, and each has its own charges based on what they do.

i use twilio, deepgram,openai,elvanlabs and livekit cloud so can you give me estimated price in INR per minute
t
Here’s a simple way to estimate the pricing for LiveKit Cloud in INR per minute: • LiveKit Cloud: ◦ Connection fee: $0.0005 per minute (this is the starting rate and it goes down as your usage increases). ◦ Bandwidth fee: $0.12 per GB (also starts here and gets cheaper with more usage). ◦ SIP connection minutes: $0.004 per minute (applicable for the Ship plan). To get these charges in INR, just use the current USD to INR exchange rate—it’s pretty straightforward! For Twilio, Deepgram, OpenAI, and ElevenLabs, you’ll want to check out their pricing details and then convert those to INR the same way. Each service has its own pricing based on how much you use, so adding all these up will give you a good estimate of the total cost per minute.
