  Vocode has two distinct cost models. The open-source vocode-core Python
  library is MIT licensed and free to self-host; you pay only the underlying
  STT, LLM, TTS, and telephony providers you wire into it. The hosted Vocode
  API meters usage by call minutes and exposes plan tiers (free, developer,
  enterprise, unlimited) surfaced by the GET /v1/usage endpoint. Public
  per-minute hosted rates and plan prices are not currently published on an
  open pricing page, so the hosted entries below are marked unreconciled.
notes: >-
  The hosted Vocode pricing page (vocode.dev/pricing) is not publicly
  available and currently redirects to the GitHub organization; hosted
  per-minute rates and tier prices must be confirmed with Vocode directly on
  reconciliation. The plan_type enum (plan_free, plan_developer,
  plan_enterprise, plan_unlimited) is taken from the hosted API usage schema.
