Hi hxrdxk,
The Vapi platform applies a fee of $0.05 per minute for calls. However, for chat APIs or non-call interactions, there might be charges that differ based on the resources used, such as the model invoked or the amount of data processed. The $0.005 fee per query you mentioned seems to align with a usage-based pricing model, where each query or interaction incurs a small charge due to the computational resources involved.
For a detailed cost breakdown of all potential charges, including platform fees, you might want to review your Vapi dashboard, which provides a comprehensive view of your session costs. You can also consider reviewing our Pricing Overview for more insight into how these costs are structured.
