Last verified 2026-11-01. STALE marks a plan we have not re-checked at its source in over 30 days. 2 of 4 plans above are marked. 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 that an earlier version of this record omitted (CCPA/CPRA compliance and EU-US Data Privacy Framework certification), now included. PCI DSS and ISO 27001 remain stated as in progress, which an earlier version of this record correctly flagged. Inference credits are published in dollars on the page and are kept that way in notes rather than converted.

Capabilities
Integrations: Twilio, SIP trunking, Deepgram, ElevenLabs, Cartesia, OpenAI, Google Gemini.
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.

This standing as a plaque
LiveKit Agents currently holds a silver deskmark here — Rank 4 of 13 · AI Voice Agents. Anyone may show it. There is nothing to apply for, nothing to pay, and displaying it changes no score: the standing comes from the published algorithm, which never reads commission data. We never ask anyone to show it, and its link carries rel="nofollow".
The image is drawn from our live data, so it follows the standing rather than freezing it: if LiveKit Agents moves up or down a tier, the plaque on your own site says so at our next publish. Nothing is tracked beyond the ordinary web-server log that records any image request.
