Sales-led only, contracts from $30,000 a year, no free tier.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Deepgram Voice Agent API\n\n1. Set `mip_opt_out` in the Settings message to keep call audio out of training\n2. Use the function-call hold for anything irreversible, since replies can start before the user's turn is confirmed\n3. Back off exponentially on 429, a pay-as-you-go project gets 45 concurrent sockets\n4. Pin the LLM version, an unpinned Gemini route failed for 1.5 hours on 21 July 2026\n5. Mint browser tokens with `ttl_seconds`, not `ttl`, or they expire after 30 seconds\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 Deepgram Voice Agent API or Synthflow API + MCP\n\n- [Bland AI API + MCP vs Deepgram Voice Agent API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/bland-ai-vs-deepgram-voice-agent.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 Synthflow API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/bolna-vs-synthflow.md)\n- [Deepgram Voice Agent API vs ElevenLabs Agents API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/deepgram-voice-agent-vs-elevenlabs-agents.md)\n- [Deepgram Voice Agent API vs Hume EVI (Empathic Voice Interface)](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/deepgram-voice-agent-vs-hume-evi.md)\n- [Deepgram Voice Agent API vs Retell AI API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/deepgram-voice-agent-vs-retell-ai.md)\n- [Deepgram Voice Agent API vs Ultravox Realtime API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/deepgram-voice-agent-vs-ultravox.md)\n- [Deepgram Voice Agent API vs Vapi API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/deepgram-voice-agent-vs-vapi.md)\n- [Deepgram Voice Agent API vs Vogent API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/deepgram-voice-agent-vs-vogent.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",
