Audio & voice · alternatives
byVoice runs phone calls, SMS and chat agents from $29 per month (Starter), $99 (Pro) and $199 (Business), and the bill grows with call volume. Minutes beyond those included cost $0.18 on Starter, $0.14 on Pro and $0.13 on Business, extra LLM tokens are priced per 1M, and concurrent calls are capped at 10, 15 or 20 depending on plan. Setting up custom agents may require paid agent development, and a turnkey setup is a separate service. A free trial exists on Starter and Pro, but its length and terms are not detailed.
ElevenLabs approaches the problem from the voice side: it covers text-to-speech, voice cloning, dubbing and transcription, and its Starter (Creative) plan is $6 per month with 30k credits and a commercial license, with a free tier available. Make is not a voice product; it is a visual workflow builder with a Core plan at $9 per month for 10k credits, API access and unlimited active scenarios, also with a free tier. Pair them if you want to assemble your own call flow, or stay with byVoice if you want a single platform that handles the calls itself.

Taken from the documented limitations in our byVoice profile.
| Tool | Starting price | Free tier | Platforms | Main limitation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| byVoice (this page) | $29/mo (Starter) | Yes | Web, API | Usage beyond included minutes is billed per minute, and trial terms are not detailed. |
| ElevenLabs | $6/mo (Starter (Creative)) | Yes | Web, API | Everything draws from one monthly credit pool with per-product costs that differ widely (1 credit per TTS character vs 900 per music minute), so budgets need planning. |
| Make | $9/mo (Core) | Yes | Web, API | Every module action consumes a credit, so complex scenarios use credits quickly |
