Daily adds $2/mo PSTN phone numbers and auto-applies its audio-only discount

Daily pricing

Daily's Video SDK rate card added a dedicated PSTN phone-number SKU at $2 per number per month, and the discounted audio-only participant-minute rate now applies automatically instead of requiring an email to sales.

Before

No standalone phone-number line item; the deep audio-only rate (down to $0.00036/participant-min) required emailing [email protected] to enable.

After

Dedicated PSTN phone numbers billed at $2/number/month; the audio-only rate applies automatically for any session with no video tracks.

Daily left its core participant-minute rate card unchanged ($0.004 video/audio, $0.00099 audio-only, 10,000 free minutes/month) but made two packaging moves on the Video SDK pricing page. First, it introduced a dedicated PSTN phone-number SKU at $2 per number per month, covering provisioned dial-in numbers. Second, it removed the friction on its deepest audio discount: the audio-only rate — which bottoms out at $0.00036/participant-minute under graduated volume discounts — now applies automatically whenever a session carries no video tracks, rather than requiring customers to email [email protected] to have the rate enabled.
