# Pricing
> Rates for conversations, LLM usage, telephony, and transfers, plus the trial balance and billing
Agents cost \*\*$0.06 per minute** of conversation, with a small number of add-ons for telephony and token-billed models. Every account starts with a $5 trial balance, and everything after that is charged against your API credit.
## Rates
| Item | Price | Notes |
| -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Agent conversation | \$0.06 per minute | All-inclusive: STT, TTS, the basic LLMs, knowledge base retrieval, and tool calls |
| LLM usage | Covered for the basic LLMs, by token usage for the rest | The other LLMs are billed on the tokens each request uses. See [LLM models](#llm-models). Custom LLM endpoints carry no LLM charge |
| Phone call surcharge | +\$0.01 per minute | Added to the conversation rate on phone calls. Some outbound destinations carry a higher rate instead. See [Outbound destinations](#outbound-destinations) |
| Phone number rental | \$1.20 per month | Charged in daily slices while you hold the number, and stops when you release it |
| Cold transfer | \$0.015 per minute | Charged for the time after the agent hands the call to a person. The conversation rate stops at that point |
| Warm transfer | \$0.025 per minute | Charged for the time after the caller and the person are joined. The joined call is still recorded and transcribed |
Usage is counted per second. A plus sign marks a charge on top of the conversation rate.
Calls on [imported SIP numbers](/agents/telephony/byo-sip) carry no telephony charges: no phone surcharge, no number rental, no transfer fees. They bill like web sessions.
### LLM models
The LLM your agent runs is chosen in the Builder. The basic models are:
* Gemini 3.5 Flash Lite
* GPT-5.6 Luna
* Gemma 4 26B
Every model has a per-token cost. For now the conversation rate covers it for the basic models as a promotional offer, so they carry no separate charge.
Every other model is billed on token usage. Prices are expressed in USD per 1 million tokens, with separate rates for input tokens, output tokens, and cached input. These rates are determined by the LLM providers and may change. Refer to the provider's documentation for current pricing.
What a minute costs on such a model therefore depends on your agent: how long the system prompt and retrieved knowledge are, how much conversation history the model re-reads on every turn, how often it is called, and how verbose its replies are. The Builder shows an estimated per-minute figure next to each token-billed model, computed from your current prompt and typical agent behavior. The estimate does not account for prompt caching, and actual charges are based on token usage.
After a conversation, each message in the dashboard's conversation view shows its model requests and token cost. A [custom LLM](/agents/build/custom-llm) endpoint carries no LLM charge.
### Outbound destinations
The standard phone surcharge applies to inbound calls and most outbound calls. Outbound calls to the destinations below replace it with a rate that depends on the number dialed:
| Destination | Landline | Mobile |
| ---------------------------------------- | ------------------ | ------------------ |
| Japan (landline includes 050 numbers) | +\$0.10 per minute | +\$0.22 per minute |
| United Kingdom (03 numbers: +\$0.04) | +\$0.02 per minute | +\$0.03 per minute |
| Italy | +\$0.02 per minute | +\$0.05 per minute |
| Australia | +\$0.03 per minute | +\$0.09 per minute |
| Mexico (mobile means the legacy `+52 1`) | +\$0.02 per minute | +\$0.05 per minute |
The countries purchased numbers can call are listed under [allowed destinations](/agents/telephony/outbound-calls#allowed-destinations).
## Trial balance
Every account starts with a one-time **\$5 trial balance**, about 60 minutes of conversation at the base rate. It pays for real usage at the normal rates:
* Every charge draws on it first: web sessions, phone calls and their surcharges, transferred call time, number rental, and LLM tokens on token-billed models. Only what the trial balance does not cover is charged to your API credit.
* A session can start on any model, including token-billed ones, as long as the trial balance or your API credit is above zero.
* [Preview calls](/agents/test/preview-calls) in the Builder are free on every LLM, including token-billed ones, and never draw on the trial balance.
* The [Agents billing page](https://fish.audio/app/agents/billing) shows how much of the trial balance is left, and the Agents home page shows it as a usage meter.
## Billing
Usage is charged to your **API credit**, the same prepaid balance as the Fish Audio speech APIs. Sessions are charged when they end, and number rental is charged daily.
Every charge is listed on the [Agents billing page](https://fish.audio/app/agents/billing).
## Examples
| Scenario | Breakdown | Total |
| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------ |
| Web conversation, 4 min 30 s, basic LLM | Conversation 4.5 min × $0.06 = $0.27 | \$0.27 |
| Inbound phone call, 6 min, basic LLM | Conversation 6 min × $0.06 = $0.36
Phone surcharge 6 min × $0.01 = $0.06 | \$0.42 |
| Outbound call, 10 min, Japanese mobile number | Conversation 10 min × $0.06 = $0.60
Japan mobile surcharge 10 min × $0.22 = $2.20 | \$2.80 |
| Inbound call, 3 min with the agent, then 5 min with a person after a warm transfer | Conversation 3 min × $0.06 = $0.18
Phone surcharge 3 min × $0.01 = $0.03
Warm transfer 5 min × $0.025 = $0.125 | \$0.335 |
| Web conversation, 5 min, token-billed LLM | Conversation 5 min × $0.06 = $0.30
LLM usage: the session's tokens at the LLM's rates | \$0.30 + LLM usage |
