# Pricing and Success Packages

> Learn how Usage only, optional Success Packages, and add-ons determine usage charges, support, service commitments, and capacity.

> **Note**
>
> Success Packages are currently available only to new Vapi customers. Customers on legacy pricing keep their existing billing structure and terms. Under the legacy pay-as-you-go model, each organization has its own subscription and concurrency limit.

A subscription is the billing and entitlement scope for one or more organizations. Every subscription starts with usage-based billing. Without an optional Success Package, you use Usage only. Usage-based charges remain active when you add a Success Package or add-ons.

A Success Package adds support, service commitments, and higher included limits. Add-ons increase individual capabilities without replacing usage-based billing or your Success Package.

## Estimate costs

Use the **Calculator** on the [Vapi pricing page](https://vapi.ai/pricing) to estimate your monthly cost. Set your minutes and choose your transcriber, model, and voice providers. The calculator breaks the estimate down into hosting, transcriber, model, voice, and transport costs.

To review costs for a completed call, open its [call log](/observability/logs/call-logs) and check the **Call Cost** tab when available.

## Usage only

With Usage only, you pay a per-minute hosting fee, plus the model, voice, transcriber, and telephony costs for each call.

Usage only includes the documentation, peer-to-peer help from the Vapi Discord community, email support without a response service-level agreement, and the base limits shown in [What's included](#whats-included).

Every minute your assistants run is billed. Usage only does not include a response or uptime service-level agreement. A response service-level agreement starts with Core.

## Success Packages

A Success Package is an optional package added to a subscription. It does not change how usage is billed. It adds higher support, service commitments, larger capacity, and compliance and governance options. The package applies to every organization in the subscription. Those organizations share the subscription's concurrent call lines.

Usage-based billing remains active when you add Core, Pro, or Premier.

Core has a fixed monthly price. Pro pricing scales with Vapi hosting spend and has a monthly minimum. Premier pricing and terms depend on your agreement.
