Twilio Conversations FAQs
Twilio Conversations is pay-as-you-go, priced separately for each building block, so you pay for what you use instead of a bundle you don't. Conversation Orchestrator runs $0.0002 per 1K characters ingested, Conversation Relay is $0.07 per minute, and Intelligence, Memory, and Enterprise Knowledge each meter on their own usage.
No, Orchestrator pricing covers the coordination layer (not the messages themselves). You're billed $0.0002 per 1K characters ingested to connect and route conversations across channels. The underlying SMS, voice, WhatsApp, and chat costs are billed separately at Twilio's standard channel rates.
Several Conversations products meter by characters, each at its own rate:
Conversation Orchestrator: $0.0002 per 1K characters ingested.
Conversation Intelligence: $0.005 per 1K characters for Twilio-authored Language Operators.
Conversation Memory: $0.0028 per 1K characters for memory generation.
You're billed on the volume of conversation text each product processes.
Conversation Memory bills on two fronts: profiles and memory. Profiles run $0.005 per daily utilized profile, with your first 100K profile operations free each month, then $0.08 per 1K after. Memory is $0.0028 per 1K characters generated, plus $0.007 per recall when an agent pulls context back.
Conversation Relay uses pay-as-you-go pricing (starting at $0.07 per minute) with voice costs billed separately. That per-minute model lets you add voice AI without a platform commitment. Start small, scale as call volume grows, and pay only for the minutes your AI agents handle.
Pay-as-you-go is the default. There are no commitments, no vendor lock-ins, and you can scale up or down as needed. Start with a free trial to build and test (new accounts get $15 in credits), then load funds as your usage grows. For high-volume use cases or custom pricing, contact sales.
