Cartesia is the leading Voice AI foundation model research and development company powering the next generation of Voice AI applications. The team developed a suite of products starting with core speech models and expanding into an end-to-end Voice Agent development platform.
Sonic models are the fastest text-to-speech model for real-time conversations, delivering ultra-realistic voice generation 2-3x faster than alternatives - complete with features for voice cloning, customization, controllability, and more.
Ink models are among the fastest speech-to-text models, optimized for real-time use cases and designed for real-world conversations.
Line brings these two models together into a Voice Agent platform, built with developer experience in mind. The flexible, code-first architecture lets teams connect to existing chat systems, bring in any agentic frameworks, and integrate with any systems.

Pricing is based on the duration and terms of your contract with the vendor, and additional usage. You pay upfront or in installments according to your contract terms with the vendor. This entitles you to a specified quantity of use for the contract duration. Usage-based pricing is in effect for overages or additional usage not covered in the contract. These charges are applied on top of the contract price. If you choose not to renew or replace your contract before the contract end date, access to your entitlements will expire.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
You choose between two contract options. The Scale plan is a fixed package that bundles 8 million model credits with up to 4,983 minutes of Voice Agent usage. Credits power text-to-speech and speech-to-text, while agent minutes cover voice agent calls. This plan also includes priority support and high concurrency limits. The Enterprise option is not a set price. Instead, you contact the vendor to arrange custom credits, agent usage, concurrency, and support terms. Do not check out with the Enterprise option; it directs you to reach out for a tailored quote.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one model credit pay for, and how is Voice Agent usage counted?
Credits meter text-to-speech and speech-to-text. Text-to-speech uses 15 credits per second of audio. A one-time voice localization costs 225 credits. Voice Agent usage is counted in call minutes, billed per minute of agent activity. Your Scale plan bundles 8 million credits and up to 4,983 agent minutes.
What happens if I use more credits or agent minutes than my Scale plan includes?
The Scale plan bundles a fixed 8 million credits and up to 4,983 Voice Agent minutes. If your usage grows beyond these amounts, the vendor directs you to the Enterprise option for custom credits, agent usage, and concurrency. Contact support@cartesia.ai to arrange those terms.
How do the credit total and agent minutes combine to drive my Scale plan cost?
Both metrics come bundled in one fixed Scale package, so they do not add separately to your bill. Credits cover speech generation and transcription. Agent minutes cover live voice calls. You draw from each pool independently within the same plan until you reach either included limit.

Ultra-Low Latency Text-to-Speech That Delivers
Reviewed on Aug 17, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
The standout feature of Cartesia is its ultra low latency text to speech generation.
What do you dislike about the product?
Its pre made voice library is smaller than older platforms. Additionally, as a newer specialized service, it lacks the extensive third-party ecosystem of legacy text-to-speech providers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cartesia solves the high latency, robotic sound, and high computing costs of traditional voice AI by using State Space Models instead of standard transformers. This benefits me by delivering ultra-fast, natural-sounding, and expressive real-time voice interactions.

Responsive Support and Real Conversations Make Cartesia Shine
Reviewed on Aug 13, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I’ve been able to speak with real people to discuss their plans and features. Their support has also been very good: when I’ve reported bugs or issues, they’ve been fixed and addressed, and any questions I’ve had have been answered.
What do you dislike about the product?
Coding a voice agent comes with a bit of a learning curve. Claude Code really reduced that ramp-up time for me, though, and it makes me think that using any kind of AI coding agent could significantly speed up the development process for anyone considering Cartesia.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
They make it easy to have a voice agent automatically run an in-depth interview, and it still sounds pleasant and easy to work with throughout.
