AI call cost calculator

The bill for AI calling has three parts: a monthly plan fee, a phone number, and the minutes your calls actually use. As a formula:

Monthly cost = plan fee + number rental (if the plan has no number) + (talk minutes − the plan's included minutes) × ₹6

Talk minutes come from three inputs. Calls a month is how many calls you expect. Calls entering a conversation (inbound) or expected pickup rate (outbound) is the share of those calls that connect; the estimate bills connected talk time only. Minutes per call is the average length of a connected call. Connected calls × minutes per call = talk minutes.

The ₹6 rate includes telephony, so there is no separate carrier bill for the calls Adya makes or answers. The estimate rounds the month's total talk time up to whole minutes; use the billable duration on your invoice when you check a real bill.

The staffing side divides the same talk minutes by what one person can handle in a month: 22 working days, an 8-hour shift, and the share of it spent on calls. It rounds up to whole full-time seats, each costed at salary plus the overhead you set. Part-time staff, shared roles and shift cover will change your real figure.

Extra numbers cost ₹399 a month on any paid plan. Outbound call campaigns, where Adya calls every person on a list, are a Growth feature, which is why the calculator switches to Growth when you pick the outbound scenario.

Both examples assume inbound calls averaging 2.5 minutes, every call answered, and Adya's list prices. Change any of those in the calculator to see your own figure.

Three things stand out. First, the cost per call falls as volume rises, because the fixed plan fee is spread across more calls: ₹26.33 a call at 300 calls, ₹18.40 at 1,000. Second, minutes are most of the bill at volume; at 1,000 calls, ₹15,000 of the ₹18,398 is talk time. Third, for inbound voice alone, Starter with a number is the cheaper plan at every volume, by ₹1,601 a month once you pass 500 minutes. Growth earns its fee when you also need outbound campaigns or more than 1,000 chat, WhatsApp and email conversations a month.

An outbound example for comparison: a Growth campaign of 1,000 calls a month, where 700 are answered and each runs 2 minutes, uses 1,400 minutes. That is ₹7,999 + 900 × ₹6 = ₹13,399 before GST. Outbound calling in India also comes with registration and consent rules; read what TRAI's rules mean for AI outbound calls before you plan a list.

Included: the plan fee; the phone number, either inside the plan or at ₹399 a month; and every connected minute beyond the plan's allowance at ₹6, with telephony included.

Not included:

• GST at 18% on Indian invoices, or applicable taxes on US-dollar invoices.
• Extra phone numbers beyond the first, at ₹399 a month each.
• WhatsApp messaging fees, which Meta bills to your WhatsApp Business account. The WhatsApp API cost calculator estimates those.
• Chat, WhatsApp and email conversations beyond your plan's allowance, at ₹2 each.
• Charges from your existing phone provider if you divert your current number to Adya; check your own tariff for call forwarding.

We have not found a dated, published average for telecaller pay in India that we would cite, so the comparison here uses the nearest one we could source. Indeed India's receptionist average, updated 10 May 2026 from 649 reported salaries, is ₹14,565 a month. With the employer's EPF, EDLI and ESI contributions, that becomes about ₹16,932 a month; the derivation is in our AI receptionist cost guide.

Set against that benchmark, the 2.5-minute examples above come out at ₹7,898 for 300 calls and ₹18,398 for 1,000 calls, before GST. At 1,000 calls the two are close, so the case rests less on cost and more on cover: one person works one shift, takes leave and handles one call at a time, while Adya can answer after hours and hand a caller to your team when a person is needed. They are not the same job either; a receptionist also looks after the people in front of them. The calculator's default salary of ₹25,000 is an editable assumption, not a market figure. Put in your own team's pay and overhead for the comparison that matters to you.

Let Adya answer routine enquiries, capture bookings and cover overflow while your team focuses on the conversations that need judgment. Human handoff keeps your staff involved, with the conversation history available. Start with a clear workflow and measure calls handled, bookings and time returned to your team. The live support page shows how a call moves from the AI to a person.

What is the minimum monthly cost for AI calling?

Which Adya plan is cheaper for phone calls?

For inbound calls alone, Starter with a number costs less than Growth at every volume: ₹1,601 a month less once you pass 500 minutes, because both bill ₹6 a minute beyond that. Choose Growth when you need outbound call campaigns or more than 1,000 chat, WhatsApp and email conversations a month.

Is GST included in the estimate?

No. Every figure in the calculator is before tax. Indian invoices add GST at 18%, which a GST-registered business can usually claim back as input tax credit. Customers outside India are billed in US dollars plus applicable taxes.

Does the estimate include WhatsApp messages?

No. This calculator covers calls only. Meta bills WhatsApp messaging fees to your WhatsApp Business account separately, and your plan's conversation allowance covers chat, WhatsApp and email. Use the WhatsApp API cost calculator for Meta's per-message fees.
