Pricing & Billing Architecture
Understanding the wallet-based billing model, pay-as-you-go minutes, and add-ons.
The Branofy Voice Platform operates on a simple, transparent Wallet-Based Pay-As-You-Go pricing model. Rather than separate fees for Speech-to-Text (STT), LLM tokens, Text-to-Speech (TTS), and telephony channels, Branofy bundles everything into a single, predictable minute rate.
Pricing Philosophy
Traditional Voice AI architectures require managing multiple API keys and paying complex billing formulas across Deepgram, ElevenLabs, OpenAI, and telephony providers.
Branofy abstracts all processing costs into a flat rate:
Customer Cost = Voice Minutes + Add-On MarketplaceYou top up your workspace wallet and pay only for the exact seconds of conversation you consume.

Voice Minute Calculation
Billable conversation time is calculated as the sum of customer speaking time and the agent's response time:
Total Minutes = (Customer Talk Time + AI Response Time) / 60Calculation Example (INR)
- Customer speaks: 2 minutes 10 seconds
- AI responds: 1 minute 50 seconds
- Total conversation time: 4 minutes 0 seconds
- Deduction: 4 minutes × ₹4.00/min = ₹16.00
Workspace Concurrency Plans
Concurrency levels determine the maximum number of simultaneous phone calls your workspace can support. While minutes are charged pay-as-you-go from your wallet, you can choose a tier that fits your scale:
| Tier | Monthly Platform Fee | Included Wallet Credits | Concurrent Call Limit | Custom Voices | API & Webhook Access |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free / Developer | ₹0 | 100 free minutes | 2 | No | No |
| Growth / Pro | ₹4,000 / mo | 1,000 free minutes | 20 | 5 | Yes |
| Business | ₹16,000 / mo | 4,000 free minutes | 100 | Unlimited | Yes |
| Enterprise | Custom | Unlimited | Unlimited | Unlimited | Yes (Dedicated Infra) |
Out of Balance / Limit Exceeded Behavior
- Insufficient Wallet Balance: If your wallet balance falls below the minimum threshold required to initiate a call (₹4.00 or $0.04), the call is blocked, and the API responds with
HTTP 429:
{
"error": "INSUFFICIENT_WALLET_BALANCE",
"message": "Insufficient wallet balance to place a call. Please top up your wallet."
}- Concurrency Limit Reached: If you attempt to initiate more calls than your plan allows, the API responds with
HTTP 429and the following schema:
