Price for performance
What does the rupee buy?
The rate is half the story. The other half is how well the agent hears your callers. We compared ourselves with Sarvam, the other Indian company here that runs its own speech recognition, on public Hindi phone recordings.
| Measure | Voice Infra | Sarvam |
|---|---|---|
| A month of 1 lakh minutes, each company’s own lineLower is better | ₹1,50,000 T1, line and insights | ₹3,40,000 Business, line in 30-second pulses |
| Errors on Hindi phone calls, word error rateLower is better | 18.3% 499 public phone recordings | 21.6% Saaras v4 |
| Final transcript after the caller stops, 80th percentileLower is better | 82 ms 158 Hindi phone clips, from India | 290 ms Realtime API |
| Errors on clean read Hindi, word error rateLower is better | 10.1% Kathbath read speech | 5.8% Saaras v4 |
Sarvam is better on clean read speech, and cheaper below about 14,000 minutes a month. The working, the test and where Sarvam wins are on our Sarvam comparison.

No public price
Who doesn’t publish a price?
We found no per-minute price on the pages we read for these nine. They quote after a sales call. That’s normal for large contact-centre contracts, but you can’t compare them on paper.

How a minute counts
How is a minute counted?
Two companies at the same rate can send very different bills. Check how they round a call, and what they charge for a call nobody answers.

Each row is the rounding rule that company publishes, drawn on one call. Sarvam’s row is its phone line only. Raya and Ringg AI bill per connected minute and don’t say how a part minute rounds, so they aren’t drawn.
- Voice Infra (us)
- Answered minutes, in 10-second blocks; missed calls are free
- Raya, Ringg AI
- Per connected minute
- CallMissed
- At least 30 seconds a call; a call that never connects is free
- Sarvam Voice Agents
- Its phone line in 30-second pulses, each rounded up
- OyeHello
- Per started minute, so a call of 2 minutes 10 seconds bills as 3
- Tabbly
- By the second
- Voni AI
- Talk time only; ring and idle time aren’t charged, and part minutes are pro rata
A 37-second call billed by the started minute pays for a whole minute.
A typical confirmation call runs under a minute. Rounding to the minute can nearly double what you pay for it.
Before you sign
What should I ask before I sign?
Two questions for the sales call, and one day of real calls.
Ask for the price of one whole answered minute, phone line included, at your volume.
Ask what a missed call costs, and whether you can bring your own number or SIP trunk.
Then call your own customers with two or three of them for a day. The cheapest rate on paper is only cheap if people stay on the line.

Questions
These are the questions buyers ask us most.
Which AI voice agent is the cheapest in India?
On published prices, ₹1 a minute is the lowest, before the phone line. Voice Infra prints it on its T1 plan, with a ₹1,00,000 monthly commitment, and ₹1.50 with our phone line and call insights. Raya prints it with a minimum it doesn't publish. Tellco's Pro plan is ₹1.80 with 8,000 minutes a month. With no commitment, TaskVox lists ₹2 on a prepaid recharge above ₹10,000, and our pay-as-you-go rate is ₹5 with the phone line included. These are the prices each company published on 4 November 2026, before GST.
How does Voice Infra compare with Sarvam on price and quality?
For a month of 1 lakh minutes with each company's own phone line, Sarvam's published rates come to about ₹3,40,000 and ours to ₹1,50,000. On 499 public Hindi phone recordings our speech recognition had an 18.3% word error rate against Sarvam's 21.6%, and it returned the final transcript in 82 ms against 290 ms. Sarvam is better on clean read speech and cheaper below about 14,000 minutes a month.
Which AI calling platform is cheapest with no monthly commitment?
TaskVox, at ₹2 a minute once you recharge more than ₹10,000 in one go; its smallest recharge is ₹4 a minute. Tellco's Starter plan is ₹2.50 and Sarvam's pay as you go is ₹3.50 before telephony. Voice Infra's pay as you go is ₹5 a minute with our phone line and call insights included.
Is the phone line included in these prices?
It depends on the company. TaskVox, Ringg and Raya say telephony is in the rate. Sarvam bills its phone line on top at ₹0.20 per 30 seconds, CallMissed says phone carriage is separate, and Bolna adds telephony and a platform fee per minute. On our plans the line is included on T5 and T3, and costs ₹0.30 a minute on T1. Your own SIP trunk, WhatsApp or browser calling adds no Mirai telco charge on any plan.
Do these prices include GST?
Mostly not. Indian companies usually print prices before 18% GST, and TaskVox also shows each rate with GST added.
Where do these numbers come from?
Each row is copied from that company's own pricing page, never from a blog or a review site, and the date at the top says when we read it. The same table is open data, as CSV and JSON, at github.com/MiraiMinds/india-ai-calling-prices. If a number here is wrong or out of date, write to sneh@miraiminds.co and we'll correct it.
