Tavus pricing — frequently asked questions
How much does Tavus cost? ▼
Tavus's developer CVI plans are Free (20 minutes), Starter $22/mo (60 minutes), Builder $59/mo (175 minutes), Growth $397/mo (1,300 minutes), Business $975/mo (4,000 minutes), and Enterprise (custom). Builder, Growth and Business add uncapped pay-as-you-go video minutes beyond the included allowance; Free and Starter have no pay-as-you-go rate. Builder briefly advertised 50% off the first month at $29 in mid-July 2026, but that promo was pulled by July 29 and no tier currently shows an introductory discount. Tavus's consumer PALs plans no longer have a published price list — tavus.io/pals/pricing redirects to the developer pricing page.
How does Tavus bill conversational-video usage? ▼
Tavus charges a monthly access fee that includes a fixed allowance of conversation minutes, then bills pay-as-you-go for usage beyond it — $0.35/min on Builder, $0.31/min on Growth, and $0.26/min on Business — with no overage cap. Pre-rendered video generation is metered separately at $1/min (Builder), $0.90/min (Growth), and $0.80/min (Business). Minutes are billed in 6-second increments with a 30-second minimum per conversation.
What is a Tavus conversation minute? ▼
A conversation minute is Tavus's core value metric: one minute of live face-to-face AI-human conversation through the full CVI pipeline — perception (Raven), turn-taking (Sparrow), and rendering (Phoenix). It is the unit that both developer overages and PALs allowances are measured in.
What's the difference between Tavus developer plans and PALs? ▼
Developer plans price the CVI API for builders embedding AI humans into their own products, billed hybrid (access fee + pay-as-you-go minutes). PALs are flat consumer subscriptions for chatting with prebuilt AI companions, where call minutes are a hard allowance rather than a metered overage. The two lines also differ in transparency: developer prices are published down to the per-minute rate, while PALs prices have not been listed on tavus.io since July 2026 and are visible only inside the app.
Is this Tavus pricing calculator free and accurate? ▼
Yes — it's completely free with no signup. It uses the latest publicly available Tavus pricing (verified August 2026). Actual costs may vary with volume discounts or enterprise terms — always confirm on Tavus's official pricing page.
