The Web Call SDK mints single-use browser sessions that expire in about 120 seconds, so the key stays server-side. Webhooks and tool calls carry no signature. Bolna says to allowlist its 3 source IPs instead.",

Standard rate $0.06 a minute (₹5.52) covers Voice AI on the preferred STT, LLM and TTS models, falling to about $0.045 on larger top-ups. Telephony and a Bolna platform fee are billed on top, and non-preferred models are billed per use. Pilot plans are one-off, $300 for 6,500 minutes or $500 for 12,000 minutes, billed in 30-second pulses with 25 concurrent calls. Bringing your own STT, LLM and TTS keys leaves only the platform fee and telephony. Enterprise is custom (https://www.bolna.ai/pricing).",

Unsigned webhooks and tool calls, IP allowlisting only.\n\n**GPT-Live.** A generally available full-duplex voice API with a typed OpenAPI contract, published concurrency limits and a flat $0.05 a minute for the voice session. Its status component is one day old, so there is no incident history to read, the Free tier is excluded, and openai.com refused our reader, so the terms and privacy policy were not read.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Bolna API + MCP\n\n1. Wait for the `completed` execution status, not `call-disconnected`, before reading cost, recording or extracted data\n2. Send `scheduled_at` with a numeric offset such as `+00:00`, since a `Z` suffix returns 500\n3. Back off exponentially on 429, the limit on `/call` is 500 requests a minute\n4. Reject webhook and tool requests that don't come from 13.203.39.153, 13.126.9.249 or 13.202.133.53\n5. Leave the MCP `api_key` argument empty unless acting as a sub-account, so the key stays out of the transcript\n\n### GPT-Live\n\n1. Create sessions on a server with the project API key. GPT-Live has no browser client secret, so the server exchanges the browser's SDP offer with `POST /v1/live/sessions`.\n2. Choose `delegation.type` at creation. Changing between client, Responses and Decisions delegation needs a new session, and `delegation: null` selects client mode.\n3. After `session.started`, listen for `error` with code `responses_validation_failed`. Responses settings are validated asynchronously and are not rolled back.\n4. Do not retry an outbound SIP `POST /v1/live/sessions` after a timeout. Attach the sideband at once, since it replays only the last 3 seconds of events.\n5. Keep the transport open until `session.closed` to read the final `usage.seconds`. A WebRTC session bills 15 seconds at creation, credited once it runs.\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Bolna API + MCP or GPT-Live?\n\nGPT-Live scores 66.8 (B) on agent readiness against Bolna API + MCP's 52.6 (D), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories. Bolna API + MCP leads on payments \u0026 pricing.\n\n### Do Bolna API + MCP and GPT-Live need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Bolna API + MCP and GPT-Live without installing anything?\n\nYes. Bolna API + MCP has a hosted endpoint at https://api.bolna.ai and GPT-Live at https://api.openai.com/v1/live/sessions.\n\n### Are Bolna API + MCP and GPT-Live open source?\n\nBolna API + MCP is open source (MIT). No open-source release is listed for GPT-Live.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/bolna-vs-gpt-live.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/bolna-vs-gpt-live.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"bolna\", \"b\": \"gpt-live\"}`.
