AssemblyAI

Speech-to-text API with a separate Voice Agent API that bundles recognition, LLM reasoning, and text-to-speech into one per-minute rate. Streaming is billed for however long a connection stays open, not just active audio -- an easy way to overspend if idle connections aren't closed.

$50 free credit, then pay-as-you-go from $0.15/hr (Universal-2) to $0.21/hr (Universal-3.5 Pro); Voice Agent API at $4.50/hr all-inclusive
