How Telnyx bills
- The engine-only subtotal is not a complete AI quote. Destination, token usage, rounding and selected components change the total; avoid double-counting a component already bundled in your offer.
- The voice engine combines orchestration, speech recognition and voice generation. Model choice and carrier configuration determine the remaining bill.
- Would you rather keep Twilio or configure AI on a carrier platform?
