Open Voice Shield is billed per analyzed minute plus a flat per-call analysis fee, from a prepaid balance. Pay-as-you-go has no monthly fee and costs $0.035 per analyzed minute with a 60s minimum. The three bundles trade a monthly fee for more concurrent ports, included minutes and a lower rate.

What a call is charged
How a single call adds up
Two components — the analyzed minutes and one flat analysis fee — shown on the call and as separate ledger lines.
| Answered length | Billed as | Charge on Pay-as-you-go | Charge on Business |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0:12 | 60s / 12s | 1 × $0.035 + $0.08 | included minutes + $0.08 |
| 2:00 | 120s | 2 × $0.035 + $0.08 | included minutes + $0.08 |
| 7:30 | 450s | 7.5 × $0.035 + $0.08 | included minutes + $0.08 |
- Minutes past a bundle's included allowance are charged at that plan's per-minute rate.
- A call is cut off when its credit runs out rather than running up a debt.

Card payments are being enabled
Creating an account, choosing a plan and running the guided setup all work now. Card top-ups are not switched on yet: write to support@telecomsxchange.com and we add credit to your balance. The console shows a card form automatically once payments go live.
The platform also supports time-boxed pilots: a window in which analyzed calls are not billed, optionally capped at a number of minutes. Pilot policy is set per deployment, not by the public plans API, so this page cannot tell you whether one is active. The console dashboard and Billing can.
Questions operators ask
Pricing FAQ
- What does one analyzed call cost?
- On pay-as-you-go: the analyzed minutes at $0.035 per minute, with a 60s minimum then per-second billing, plus a flat $0.08 analysis fee. Bundled plans bill in 6s increments at a lower per-minute rate.
- Is there a monthly fee?
- Pay-as-you-go has none. Starter, Business and Enterprise carry a monthly fee covering a fair-use minute allowance and a fixed number of concurrent ports. Minutes beyond the allowance are charged at the plan's per-minute rate.
- Why is there a separate per-call analysis fee?
- An analysis is one fixed piece of work per call, not per minute, so it is billed per call rather than hidden in the per-minute rate. It is charged once per call, on the first completed analysis, never on a re-analysis.
- How is the account funded?
- Billing is prepaid. An account holds a balance, each call is debited against it, and a call is cut off when its credit runs out. Card top-ups are not switched on yet; contact support to have credit added.
- Can I change plan later?
- Yes. Moving to a bundle charges the first month immediately. Leaving one mid-cycle credits the unused part of the cycle back to the balance.

The plan figures are a dated snapshot of the live API, taken at build time. The analysis fee is an operator setting, not a field on the public plans API, so it is published here with its source. The fee that applies to your account is the one on your ledger.
