| Daily.co | Free | Video calling API with 10,000 free participant-minutes/month. After those, video calls cost $0.004 per participant-minute and audio-only calls $0.00099, with volume discounts, and Daily's pricing FAQ says there is no hard cap that stops calls. Real-time calls support up to 1,000 active participants. Signing up is free, but Daily's quickstart asks new accounts to add a credit card before creating a room, and recording, transcription and live streaming are for paid accounts (a card on file). Deepgram is acquiring Daily (announced October 29, 2026); Daily says that for its customers "nothing will change" and that Deepgram will sell, support and develop all of Daily's current products and services. | 2026-10-31 |
