Cost calculator
Session time → cost comparison
Compare AI Twin to session-billed avatar platforms and estimate your monthly cost.
Competitors bill session minutes (connect→disconnect). AI Twin only bills characters spoken during that session — idle, listening, and thinking stay $0.
Of 1,000 session min, the avatar speaks about 400 min — only that speech burns AI Twin characters. Competitors still bill the full session.
Competitors pick the cheapest tier that covers session minutes + concurrency (Free when usage fits). AI Twin has no GPU-slot concurrency cap.
Own Brain (BYO agent) adds no extra character charge — voice rates still apply.
Auto: cheapest plan that covers usage
Characters needed / month
40k
1,000 session min × 40% talk ≈ 400 spoken × ~100 chars/min × standard voice (1×) + Own Brain (no extra charge) = 40k characters/month
Effective multiplier: 1× vs base speech characters

Competitor estimates pick the cheapest published self-serve tier that covers your concurrent-user target, then add wall-clock minute overage. Past the top published concurrency cap, cost is estimated by stacking that top tier (ceil(concurrent ÷ cap) × plan fee + scaled included minutes + overage) — labeled “est.” Approximate public rates, 2026 — not quotes. Tavus Free (20 min / 1 concurrent, no overage) → Starter $22 (60 min / 1) → Builder $59 (175 min / 3, ~$0.37 overage) → Growth $397 (1,300 / 10) → Business $975 (4,000 / 15); HeyGen LiveAvatar LITE Starter $19 / 5 / 150 → Essential $99 / 20 / 1,000 → Business $475 / 40 / 5,000 (~$0.10/min Lite); Anam Free (30 min / 1) → Starter $12 / 1 / 50 → Explorer $49 / 3 / 250 → Growth $299 / 5 / 2,000 → Professional $999 / 10 / 5,000; Beyond Presence Agents Free (20 min / 1) → Starter ~$49 / 10 / 140 → Growth ~$149 / 25 / 745 → Scale ~$349 / 50 / 2,000; Azure AI Avatar ~$0.50/min interactive rendering (TTS + endpoint hosting extra; concurrency is provisioned capacity, not a public plan slider). AI Twin bills characters spoken only, with no GPU-slot concurrency cap. Beyond Scale, AI Twin cost is estimated at $99 per 1M characters.
