Public per-minute voice-isolation rates in October 2026 run from $0.0010 per minute (ours, after 10,000 free minutes) and $0.0012 (LiveKit) up to $0.005 per direction (Telnyx), and at least two vendors do not publish a price at all. This post lists only prices we can point to, with the source and the date we retrieved it; where a vendor has no public price we write "not public".
We are one of the vendors in the table, which is a conflict of interest, so every row has a source you can check and nothing here is a quality comparison. These are prices for different products and different bundles.

Notes. LiveKit and Pipecat Cloud are platform prices: the isolation is billed when you run on that platform. ai-coustics tiers are committed monthly plans billed annually, so the per-minute figure is an effective rate that depends on how much of the tier you use. The Krisp direct rate: our own price card lists $0.0015, while our 2026-10-15 research found no public Krisp price list and an apply-or-quote access flow, so we treat the direct rate as not public and show only the resold rates. The AssemblyAI figure is an optional add-on to its streaming transcription, not a stand-alone isolation product.
What that means per month
| Vendor / route | Monthly at 100,000 min | Monthly at 1,000,000 min |
|---|---|---|
| Anecho | $90 | $810 |
| LiveKit voice isolation | $120.00 | $1,200 |
| ai-coustics | $135 (Startup) | from $2,000 (Enterprise) |
| Pipecat Cloud, Krisp VIVA | $135 | $1,485 |
| AssemblyAI Voice Focus | $166.67 | $1,666.67 |
| Telnyx, Krisp (one direction) | $500 | $5,000 |
Arithmetic on the rates above, with no discounts, platform fees or taxes. Anecho uses the graduated ladder in our price card (10,000 free, $0.0010 to 100,000, $0.0008 to 1,000,000); the 100,000-minute figure is $90 and the 1,000,000-minute figure is $810. The ai-coustics Startup tier covers 100K minutes for $135 a month; above its Business tier (500K minutes, $540) the public page shows Enterprise from $2,000 a month. The Telnyx figure is for one direction of audio; a two-direction call is double that.
How to read it
Per-minute price is one input. Where the model runs (hosted, your servers, your platform), what it is bundled with and what it does to your word error rate matter at least as much. On our own benchmark the untouched audio beat every engine, ours included, when pooled over 19 conditions; see our row is on the table. Cheap isolation that lowers accuracy on your calls is not cheap.

FAQ
What is the cheapest public per-minute rate for voice isolation? Of the prices we could source, our $0.0010 after 10,000 free minutes and LiveKit's $0.0012 are the lowest per-minute figures; ai-coustics' effective rate depends on tier use and AssemblyAI's add-on works out to $0.0017.
Why is a vendor missing from the table? Either no public price exists, or we could not source it. We write "not public" for the former and omit the latter.
