LiveKit Inference Pricing
LiveKit Inference credits are billed by model type: LLM by tokens, STT by duration, and TTS by characters. Discounted rates are available for most STT and TTS models on the Scale plan. Preferred rates for high-volume usage are available with an Enterprise contract. For more details on model concurrency, voices, and supported features, visit our documentation.
