Verdicts

Telnyx Voice API + MCP

About $0.007 a minute all-in for US outbound ($0.002 Voice API plus $0.005 termination). x402 and MPP only top up credit, they don't pay per call.

Voximplant

Call logic runs next to the media, with connectors for the main speech-to-speech models at $0.004 a minute. Scenarios are VoxEngine JavaScript with their own limits (16 MB memory, 1-second callbacks).

Before you call either

Telnyx Voice API + MCP

  1. Create a Call Control application first. POST /v2/calls needs its connection_id
  2. Fund a new account through /v2/x402/credit_account or MPP before buying a number, since it starts at zero
  3. Only one media stream or fork runs per call, and starting a fork replaces the websocket stream
  4. Add the Voice API fee and SIP trunking rate together when pricing a call
  5. Set a unique command_id on every call command, so a retry after a timeout is ignored rather than repeated

Voximplant

  1. Upload a VoxEngine scenario and a rule first, then start it with StartScenarios and pass the number in script_custom_data
  2. Use a service-account JWT rather than api_key in the URL
  3. Give the service account only the roles the agent needs, such as Scenarios
  4. Ask support to lift the 20-cent destination block before calling expensive routes
