Voice credits, on their own balance

Text-to-speech and speech recognition are bought as prepaid voice credits, separate from your platform plan.

Its own balance

Voice requests draw on prepaid voice credits, not on your platform credit volume. The two balances are billed and tracked separately.

1 credit a request

Every successful text-to-speech or speech-recognition call costs 1 credit, at any tier. A failed request is not charged.

50 credits free

Every new workspace starts with 50 voice credits, no plan or purchase required to try it.

No plan required

Voice credits can be bought on any plan, from Starter plan upward — there is no tier to reach first.

What a credit covers

Text-to-speech

Pricing FAQ

Check out these common pricing questions.

Can I downgrade my subscription?

Yes – you can downgrade your plan in the platform.

Do additional credit bundles roll over to the next billing period?

No – unused additional credit bundles expire at the end of the billing period. Consider upgrading your plan if you see a constant credit overage.

Do you have a free trial?

Proto has a Starter plan that is completely free to use allowing you to use up to 1,000 interactions per month. You can sign up for a free Starter plan now in a few minutes. Larger businesses, enterprise and government agencies that wish to try unlimited platform features before subscribing can contact our team.

How is pricing calculated?

Plans are priced based on included features and monthly credit volume. If you reach your monthly limit, you can add additional credit bundles.

Learn more: Pricing.

How long will additional credits be available?

Additional credits remain available until the end of your current billing period. Unused credits do not roll over to the next period.

Is a credit card required for the free plan?

No – you can start using Proto without entering card details. You will only be asked for payment details if you upgrade to a paid plan.

Learn more: Pricing.

Is there a limit for live agents, AI agents, people, tickets, channels, or languages?

Limits depend on your plan. Some items (like tickets and livechats) are not limited, while other limits (like number of AI agents or languages) vary by tier.

Learn more: Pricing.

What happens if an additional credits purchase fails?

If your payment method is removed or a transaction fails, outbound replies stop. This means AI agents will not respond and live agents will not be able to send messages.

Inbound messages from customers will still be received, and you can resume replying once the billing issue is resolved.

What is the cancellation policy?

You can cancel your subscription in the platform. For accountdeletion , please contact the Proto support team.

If you are on a paid plan, your subscription will remain active until the end of the current billing cycle.

What payment methods are accepted by Proto?

Proto accepts credit card payments for self–serve plans. Alternative payment methods may be available for Enterprise and government clients.

What will happen if I run out of credits?

If you have additional credits enabled, a bundle can be applied automatically as you reach your monthly limit to avoid disruption.

If additional credits are not enabled, outbound replies pause until you purchase more credits or your next billing cycle starts.
