hi

Thanks for reaching out, Arun. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.

i have agents slef hiosted i need to use just livekit server for my agents how can i buy

Thanks — I understand you have agents self‑hosted and want to use only the LiveKit server for them, and you're asking how to buy it. Good news: you don't need to buy the LiveKit server. The LiveKit server is open source and free to run, so you can deploy it on your own infrastructure and connect your self‑hosted agents without purchasing a server license. What you can do next • Deploy LiveKit server: ◦ Use Kubernetes with Helm, run a VM with cloud-init, or use Docker—pick the method that fits your infrastructure. • Configure your agents: ◦ Point your agents to your LiveKit server by setting the

LIVEKIT_URL

environment variable to your server’s URL. • Try LiveKit Cloud (optional): ◦ If you prefer a managed, paid option that includes hosted infrastructure and agent deployment, consider LiveKit Cloud later. It’s optional — you can start fully self‑hosted today. If you’d like, tell me: • Which deployment environment you plan to use (Kubernetes, a cloud VM, Docker, etc.), and • Any requirements (expected concurrent users, recording, TURN/STUN needs), and I’ll give step‑by‑step deployment suggestions and sample configuration for your setup.

i watn to use livkeit ki cloud only for sever whta is per min cost

Thanks — I understand you want to use LiveKit Cloud only for the server side (agents) and are asking about the per‑minute cost. The agent session rate is $0.01 per minute for an active agent session. This is charged when an agent is actively serving a user (an “agent session minute”). A few helpful notes: • That $0.01/min applies after any included minutes in your plan; Build/Ship/Scale plans include different allotments and features. • The cost covers hosting agents, unlimited data transfer for the agent, and observability/analytics. • LiveKit Cloud plans (Build, Ship, Scale, Enterprise) keep agents warm on paid tiers for low-latency readiness. If you’d like, tell me: • Which plan level you’re considering (Build, Ship, Scale, or Enterprise), and • Your expected monthly agent‑minutes or concurrent agents, and I’ll estimate your monthly cost and suggest the best plan for your usage. For full plan details you can also review the LiveKit pricing page: https://livekit.io/pricing. Sources: Deploy and scale agents on LiveKit Cloud | Pricing | LiveKit

is ther epay as u go ?

Yes — LiveKit Cloud supports pay‑as‑you‑go billing for agent usage. Key points • Agent session usage is billed per active minute at $0.01 per agent minute. • You can start on the free tier (1,000 free agent session minutes monthly) with no credit card required, and you’ll be billed for any usage beyond those included minutes. • Paid plans (Build, Ship, Scale, Enterprise) include different monthly allotments and features; after included minutes are used, overage is charged at the pay‑as‑you‑go rate. • You can upgrade plans at any time if you need more included minutes, warmed agents, or additional features. Next steps • If you’d like an estimate, tell me your expected agent‑minutes per month or typical concurrent agents and session length, and I’ll calculate the expected monthly cost. • If you want help signing up or choosing a plan, I can walk you through the steps.

if i bui free ties if i use 1000 minutes then do i need to mive to builf?

Thanks — you’re asking: if you use the 1,000 free agent minutes on the free tier, do you need to move to a paid plan? Short answer: Yes — to run more than the 1,000 free agent session minutes in a month you must pick a paid plan (Build or higher). The free tier gives you 1,000 free agent session minutes monthly; it does not automatically enable pay‑as‑you‑go overage billing. To continue running agents beyond that allotment you need to upgrade to a paid plan. Quick reminders: • Paid plans include additional included minutes and features; overage beyond included minutes is billed at the per‑minute agent rate (agent session minutes are $0.01/min). • You can upgrade at any time from the dashboard. • If you want, I can estimate monthly cost for your expected usage or recommend which plan (Build/Ship/Scale) fits best — tell me expected concurrent agents or total agent‑minutes per month and I’ll calculate it.

Build is 50$ but i wont use it

Thanks — I see you’re concerned about the $50 Build plan since you don’t expect to use that much. To recap and options for you • The free tier gives you 1,000 agent session minutes per month at no charge. • If you exceed 1,000 minutes in a month, you must upgrade to a paid plan (Build or higher). The free tier does not automatically bill overages. • Build starts at $50/month; paid plans include extra minutes and features. Overage beyond included minutes is billed at $0.01 per agent minute. What you can do next (pick one) • Stay on the free tier and monitor usage: keep using the free 1,000 minutes and only upgrade if you approach the limit. • Estimate cost and compare: tell me your expected monthly agent‑minutes (or number of concurrent agents and average session length) and I’ll calculate whether the $50 Build plan or pay‑as‑you‑go overage would be cheaper. • Choose Build for predictability: if you prefer predictable billing and included minutes even if you may not fully use them, Build gives a set allotment and features for $50/month. If you share: • Expected concurrent agents and average session length, or • Estimated total agent‑minutes per month, I’ll run the numbers and recommend the most cost‑effective path.

pay‑as‑you‑go is not aciallbe

Thanks — I understand you’re confirming that pay‑as‑you‑go isn’t available on the free tier and want a clear explanation of what that means and your options. Short answer • Pay‑as‑you‑go is not available while you stay on the free tier. The free tier gives 1,000 free agent session minutes per month and does not automatically bill for minutes beyond that. • To use minutes beyond the free 1,000, you must upgrade to a paid plan (Build or higher). Once on a paid plan, additional usage is billed at the per‑minute rate (agent session minutes are $0.01/min for overage). Your options • Stay on the free tier and monitor usage: keep using up to 1,000 minutes/month at no cost and only upgrade if you approach the limit. • Upgrade to Build (or higher): this enables paid usage and includes extra minutes and features. Overage beyond the plan’s included minutes is billed at the per‑minute rate. • Choose Build for predictability or upgrade only when needed: Build starts at $50/month and is suitable if you want a monthly allotment and readiness features; otherwise you can upgrade later when your usage grows. I can help with either next step • If you want a cost comparison, tell me your expected monthly agent‑minutes (or expected concurrent agents and average session length) and I’ll calculate whether staying free, upgrading to Build, or moving to another plan is more economical. • If you want guidance on upgrading in the dashboard or what each plan includes, I can walk you through that.
