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).",

Sales-led only, contracts from $30,000 a year, no free tier.\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### Synthflow API + MCP\n\n1. Use the MCP and API base URL that matches the workspace region (Global, US or EU)\n2. Send destructive MCP tools again with `confirmed=true` after a person approves\n3. Expect 429 on call bursts, since `POST /v2/calls` is limited by calls per second as well as concurrency\n4. Read the transfer failure reason on a failed transfer before retrying it\n\n## Other comparisons with Bolna API + MCP or Synthflow API + MCP\n\n- [Bland AI API + MCP vs Bolna API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/bland-ai-vs-bolna.md)\n- [Bland AI API + MCP vs Synthflow API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/bland-ai-vs-synthflow.md)\n- [Bolna API + MCP vs Deepgram Voice Agent API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/bolna-vs-deepgram-voice-agent.md)\n- [Bolna API + MCP vs ElevenLabs Agents API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/bolna-vs-elevenlabs-agents.md)\n- [Bolna API + MCP vs Hume EVI (Empathic Voice Interface)](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/bolna-vs-hume-evi.md)\n- [Bolna API + MCP vs Retell AI API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/bolna-vs-retell-ai.md)\n- [Bolna API + MCP vs Ultravox Realtime API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/bolna-vs-ultravox.md)\n- [Bolna API + MCP vs Vapi API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/bolna-vs-vapi.md)\n- [Bolna API + MCP vs Vogent API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/bolna-vs-vogent.md)\n- [Deepgram Voice Agent API vs Synthflow API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/deepgram-voice-agent-vs-synthflow.md)\n- [ElevenLabs Agents API + MCP vs Synthflow API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/elevenlabs-agents-vs-synthflow.md)\n- [Hume EVI (Empathic Voice Interface) vs Synthflow API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/hume-evi-vs-synthflow.md)\n- [Retell AI API + MCP vs Synthflow API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/retell-ai-vs-synthflow.md)\n- [Synthflow API + MCP vs Ultravox Realtime API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/synthflow-vs-ultravox.md)\n- [Synthflow API + MCP vs Vapi API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/synthflow-vs-vapi.md)\n- [Synthflow API + MCP vs Vogent API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/synthflow-vs-vogent.md)\n",
