Pros & Cons

Vapi

  • Genuine sub-600ms latency orchestration across LLM, STT, TTS, and telephony providers
  • Explicit developer control over custom LLM endpoints, tool calls, and structured outputs
  • Squads and RAG Knowledge Base support enable sophisticated multi-agent, knowledge-grounded voice workflows
  • Advertised $0.05/minute fee covers only orchestration — realistic all-in cost is $0.13-$0.31/minute
  • HIPAA BAA costs an additional $1,000/month on top of usage costs
  • Enterprise plans ($40,000-$70,000/year for platform access alone) can reach six figures in total annual cost

Gemini

  • Deeply integrated across Google’s broader ecosystem (Search, Workspace, Android)
  • Ultra tier pricing was reduced from its original $250/month, improving accessibility
  • API pricing offers genuinely low-cost options (Flash-Lite at $0.10/million tokens) for cost-sensitive applications
  • Full Workspace integration requires at least Business Standard ($14/user/month), not available on cheaper Workspace tiers
  • Credit-based system layered on top of tier usage limits adds complexity to understanding real usage capacity
  • Ultra tier’s $99.99-$199.99/month range represents significant cost for maximum usage limits and Deep Think access
