Cost breakdown
I want to get the cost breakdown of my past calls.
When I do it with the get call function it give me cost of 0 for all api ? Is it because I’m still in the free plan ? How to know how much it should take for each API in a normal plan ?

Yes, seeing costs as 0 could be because you're on the free plan with $10 in starter credits. To view actual cost breakdown:
1. Check your dashboard at dashboard.vapi.ai/calls for a detailed breakdown including:
- STT (Speech-to-text)
- LLM (Language model)
- TTS (Text-to-speech)
- Vapi platform fee ($0.05/minute)
- Transport costs
In the normal plan, Vapi charges the platform fee plus passes provider costs through at-cost with no markup.

If you’re seeing a cost of 0 for API calls, it’s likely because you’re on the free plan, which doesn’t include billing data. To get cost breakdowns, upgrade to a paid plan, and you can then view detailed costs for each call, including transport, assistant usage, transcription, and TTS.

How to upgrade to a paid plan ? I don’t even see when we can do that
