## Price changes

No change record has cleared two sources yet, so nothing is published on the wire.

**Key features:** Open-source agents framework on the WebRTC stack LiveKit already operates, so the same deployment serves browser, mobile and SIP callers; Provider-agnostic by design: STT, TTS and LLM are pluggable rather than first-party lock-in; Non-production deployment slots included from the Ship tier, so staging does not consume the production allowance; Agent session minute at $0.01 is among the cheapest orchestration rates published in this category; Independently audited SOC 2 Type II plus CCPA/CPRA compliance and EU-US Data Privacy Framework certification for lawful EU-to-US transfer.

**Plan limits:** Agent session minutes, model inference and telephony are three separate meters — the $0.01/min session rate is the smallest line on a real bill; HIPAA BAAs start at the $500/month Scale tier; Build and Ship cannot carry PHI; Inference credits included per tier are small ($2.50 to $50) and run out well before the bundled session minutes do; Concurrency is tier-capped at 5 / 20 / up to 600 sessions; PCI DSS and ISO 27001 audits are stated as in progress, not complete; audit artifacts are only available under NDA via the Trust Center.

Provenance: Re-verified against livekit.com/pricing and livekit.com/security on 2026-09-10. Every plan price, allowance and overage confirmed unchanged; no correction was needed. The security page independently confirms the tier-gating of BAAs and adds two compliance facts the draft did not record (CCPA/CPRA compliance and EU-US Data Privacy Framework certification), now included. PCI DSS and ISO 27001 remain stated as in progress, which the draft correctly flagged. Inference credits are published in dollars on the page and are kept that way in notes rather than converted.
