How billing works
No meters running in the dark
Participant-minutes
Billed per participant per minute — 10 people for 10 minutes = 100 participant-minutes.
Audio-only when video is off
If a participant's camera is off, that minute bills at the audio rate, not video.
Free grant spent first
Your free grant is consumed before any paid balance — automatically.
No hidden fees
No setup, no monthly minimum, no charge for idle projects. You pay for usage, full stop.
At scale
Custom pricing for high volume
