November 13, 2026. Fish Audio launched Fish Agent on November 12, a no-code builder for AI voice agents that answer and place phone calls, and its pricing docs set the rate at $0.07 per minute of conversation, with speech-to-text, text-to-speech, knowledge base retrieval, tool calls and, for now as a promotional offer, the basic LLMs included. Calls on a Fish phone number add $0.01 a minute, so a basic inbound call costs $0.08 a minute, or $4.80 an hour, and a number rents for $1.20 a month. Every account starts with a one-time $5 trial balance, which Fish puts at "about 70 minutes of conversation."

What Fish launched this week
- Live 3, November 10. Fish introduced "a full-duplex voice model built for real-time voice agents" and says it "knows listening cues" and "understands interruptions."
- Fish Agent, November 12. The launch post says you can "Build any voice agent by simply describing it", "Get a phone number or connect your own", use leading LLMs or your own, and connect tools, webhooks and knowledge with full API access. Fish gives a median deploy time of 32 seconds.
- What it is built for. Fish's agents page shows inbound calls, outbound calls, web and app sessions, calendar and CRM booking, handoff to a person, and a live monitor with recordings and turn-by-turn transcripts.
The Neuron's November 13 digest also reported the launch.
The full rate card
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Agent conversation, basic LLMs included | $0.07 per minute |
| Phone call surcharge | +$0.01 per minute |
| Cold transfer to a person | $0.015 per minute |

Usage is counted per second. The basic models are Gemini 3.5 Flash Lite, GPT-5.6 Luna and Gemma 4 26B, and Fish says the conversation rate covers them "as a promotional offer", so that could change. Other models are billed on tokens at rates "determined by the LLM providers", and a custom LLM endpoint carries no LLM charge. Calls on imported SIP numbers and WhatsApp carry no phone surcharge, and those numbers carry no rental.
What a small business would pay
These figures use the list rates we read on November 13; Fish says current promotions, concurrency limits and plans are on a separate pricing page, which we did not review. Take a hypothetical home services company that sends 300 inbound calls a month to the agent on a Fish number, at 4 minutes each, on a basic LLM. That is 1,200 minutes at $0.08, or $96, plus $1.20 for the number: $97.20 a month before any transfers. Fish's own worked example puts a 3-minute call followed by a 5-minute warm transfer at $0.365. Some outbound destinations cost more than the standard surcharge: per minute, a call to a UK mobile works out at $0.10, an Australian mobile at $0.16 and a Japanese mobile at $0.29.
Before you put an agent on your main line, we suggest testing three things on the trial balance: how it handles a caller who interrupts, whether bookings land in your calendar and CRM, and how the handoff to a person sounds. For outbound, we suggest settling consent first; read whether local presence dialing is legal and see the consent and opt-out layer on our TCPA-aware AI calling page.
Our AI calling for home services page covers answering calls and calling web leads back, and the AI answering service for HVAC guide shows the inbound side for one trade. For other platforms' all-in costs, see best AI voice agents in 2026 and Vapi pricing.
