I am on scale plan, how much it costs to me per minute?

AI-generated Answer for damuz91

On the Scale plan, Conversational AI call time costs about $0.10 per minute for usage beyond your included 3,600 minutes (billed at 555 credits per minute). Minutes are measured by connection duration; extended silences over 10 seconds are billed at 5% of the usual per‑minute rate. LLM usage is billed separately in credits. (help.elevenlabs.io)

If you meant something other than Conversational AI (e.g., TTS synthesis), tell me which feature and model so I can give the correct per‑minute/credit rate. (elevenlabs.io)

no, i am entirely using conversational AI for phone AI assistant. So it costs to me 10 cents including the LLM ?

[silk fiber]

AI-generated Answer for damuz91

Short answer: No.

• On the Scale plan, Conversational AI (Agents) voice calls are billed at about $0.10 per minute for overage minutes. This is the ElevenLabs platform cost for the call itself. (elevenlabs.io)
• LLM usage is not included in that per‑minute rate. LLM costs are passed through separately and converted to credits. On Scale, the table lists 6,061 credits deducted per $1 of LLM spend. (help.elevenlabs.io)

Related notes: setup/prompt‑testing calls are billed at half cost, and long silent periods (>10s) are billed at 5% of the normal per‑minute rate. (help.elevenlabs.io)

If you want, share which LLM you’re using and I can help estimate the pass‑through cost.

I am using Calude Sonnet 4

[silk fiber]

AI-generated Answer for damuz91

Short answer: No. On Scale, ~$0.10/min covers ElevenLabs’ voice stack only. LLM fees (e.g., Claude Sonnet 4) are charged separately and passed through at the model’s token rates.

Details for your setup (Scale plan + Claude Sonnet 4)

• ElevenLabs Agents per‑minute: Scale includes 3,600 minutes/month; extra minutes cost 555 credits each (~$0.10/min). Calls are billed by connection time; setup/prompt‑testing calls are half cost. Periods of silence >10s are billed at 5% of the usual per‑minute rate. (help.elevenlabs.io)
• LLM pass‑through: Anthropic Claude Sonnet 4 is listed at $3 per 1M input tokens and $15 per 1M output tokens (cache read/write: $0.30/$3.75 per 1M). These LLM costs are converted to credits and deducted from your balance. (elevenlabs.io)
• If you exceed your monthly credits, usage‑based credits on Scale are $0.18 per 1,000 credits. (help.elevenlabs.io)

If you share typical tokens per minute for your calls, I can help estimate an all‑in cost using the above rates. (elevenlabs.io)
