Deepgram’s live pricing page (captured 2026-08-25) lists the Voice Agent API’s “Custom - BYO LLM” tier at $0.065/min on Pay-As-You-Go, up from the $0.056/min rate on file from the prior capture (2026-05-31) — a 16% increase. The page currently shows a discounted $0.050/min rate “through 9/12” (tied to the concurrent Flux TTS free-trial promotion covered separately), with $0.065/min explicitly labeled as the rate that applies “Then,” i.e. the standing rate once the promo lapses on September 13, 2026. The Growth-plan rate for this same tier held steady at $0.059/min. No other Voice Agent tier’s standing rate moved: Standard ($0.075/$0.068), Standard-BYO TTS ($0.065/$0.051), Custom-BYO LLM+TTS ($0.050/$0.041), Advanced ($0.163/$0.146), and Advanced-BYO TTS ($0.122/$0.110) are all unchanged from the prior capture.
New Flux TTS model added (free through Sept 12, 2026 with up to 45 concurrent streams, then $0.0450/1k characters PAYG); while free, Voice Agent Standard/Custom-BYO LLM/Advanced tiers bill at BYO-TTS rates. Separately, Voice Agent 'Custom - BYO LLM' standing PAYG rate rose from $0.056/min to $0.065/min. New Entity Detection STT add-on ($0.0017/min) also added; Speaker Diarization's Growth price rendered blank on the captured page.
