Retell AI

Retell AI - Voice AI Tool

Transparent per-minute voice agents.

Retell builds phone-based AI agents and publishes exactly what each configuration costs — $0.055/minute for its own infrastructure plus whichever language and speech models you pick\, landing between $0.07 and $0.31 per minute.

That transparency is unusual and genuinely useful: you can model the economics of a call centre before building anything. $10 in free credits covers real testing\, and the first 20 concurrent calls are included.
