GoHighLevel Voice AI pricing has two routes: pay per use, where the Voice Engine alone is $0.045 per minute before text-to-speech, the language model and phone charges, or an AI Employee plan at $50 a month (Growth, 100 agent minutes) or $97 a month (Unlimited, subject to fair use) per sub-account. HighLevel's AI pricing article was modified on October 13, 2026 and itself tells you to confirm in-app pricing before you quote a client. This page lays out the components, a worked example for 1,000 minutes, and the break-even point between pay per use and Unlimited.
What makes up GoHighLevel Voice AI pricing per minute?
GoHighLevel Voice AI pricing per minute is the voice engine at $0.045, a voice at $0.015 to $0.170, the language model's tokens, and about $0.01165 for the phone system.
| Component | Pay-per-use rate | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Voice Engine | $0.045 per minute | For calls from May 20, 2026 onward, per HighLevel |
| Text-to-speech (voice) | $0.015 to $0.170 per minute | From OpenAI or Cartesia voices at the low end to ElevenLabs V3 at the high end |
| Language model | Token-based | Depends on the model and how much the agent says and hears; no fixed per-minute figure |
| Phone system | About $0.01165 per inbound minute, $0.0166 outbound | Billed separately by LC Phone; rounded up to full minutes |
| All-in speech-to-speech options | $0.10 per minute (Gemini live) or $0.20 (OpenAI realtime) | A single rate in place of separate voice and model charges |

What do the GoHighLevel AI Employee plans include?
GoHighLevel's AI Employee plans are pay per use with no monthly fee, Growth at $50 a month per location with 100 agent minutes, and Unlimited at $97 a month per location.
| Plan | Price | Voice AI | Conversation AI |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pay per use | No monthly fee | Per minute, as above | Based on token usage |
| AI Employee Growth | $50 a month per enabled location | 100 agent minutes a month, shared across inbound, outbound and widget | 1,000 agent responses a month, overage at pay-per-use rates |
| AI Employee Unlimited | $97 a month per enabled location | Unlimited minutes for supported use, subject to fair use | Unlimited, subject to fair use |
"Unlimited" here has a fair-use condition, so it is not a promise of no limit. See our note on what a month of GoHighLevel usage costs. Phone charges still apply under every plan.
How much does 1,000 minutes of GoHighLevel Voice AI cost?
1,000 inbound minutes of GoHighLevel Voice AI cost about $71.65 plus model tokens on pay per use with the cheapest voice, or $108.65 a month on AI Employee Unlimited.
| Route | Arithmetic (1,000 inbound minutes) | Monthly cost |
|---|---|---|
| Pay per use, cheapest voice | Engine $45 + voice $15 + phone $11.65 + model tokens | $71.65 plus model tokens |
| Pay per use, ElevenLabs V3 voice | Engine $45 + voice $170 + phone $11.65 + model tokens | $226.65 plus model tokens |
| AI Employee Unlimited | $97 plan + phone $11.65 | $108.65 (fair use applies) |
| AI Employee Growth | $50 plan for the first 100 minutes, then pay-per-use rates on the rest | Higher than Unlimited at this volume |
Model-token cost is excluded because it depends on how the agent is built and how long the calls are; HighLevel's example for Conversation AI uses $1.25 per million input tokens and $10.00 per million output tokens for GPT-5. The break-even against Unlimited, using the cheapest voice and ignoring tokens, is about 1,617 minutes a month ($97 divided by $0.06). Add model tokens and the break-even drops, so Unlimited pays off sooner than that for talkative agents.
What should you tell a client about Voice AI cost?
Tell a client a range for Voice AI cost rather than one number, put the phone charges next to it, and use rebilling to charge a flat rate per unit.
- Quote the range, not one number, and put the phone charges next to it.
- Rebilling: HighLevel's fixed-rate rebilling lets an agency charge a flat rate per unit; the examples in its article ($0.50 per Conversation AI message, $0.10 per Voice AI minute) are samples, not list prices. HighLevel's AI Employee overview (modified September 14, 2026) says agencies must be on the $497 a month plan to rebill AI Employee usage; the fixed-rate rebilling article (modified August 11, 2026) does not state a plan, so check your account.
- Watch the first month's usage report before promising a monthly cap.
- Voice AI needs consent and clear disclosure when it calls or records. See GoHighLevel AI features and our AI setup service.
