What changed
Vapi replaced its two-tier Build/Scale pricing with a four-tier "Success Package" model: No Success Package (free), Core at $29/mo, Pro at a $999/mo minimum (10% of hosting fee), and custom-priced Premier, plus a new $20/org/mo add-on. A new "Included with every plan" section now highlights unlimited agents, critical monitoring, and testing/simulation as baseline across every tier, and the former base/free tier has been cut back.
Why it matters
A $999/mo minimum for the Pro tier signals Vapi is steering serious voice-AI usage toward high-commitment contracts rather than pay-as-you-go — watch whether the free "No Success Package" tier keeps shrinking in future updates as the company leans further into the packaged-success model.
In context
Vapi's pricing page only entered the index on Sep 14, so this overhaul is the first tracked change for the company — there's no history yet to say whether four-tier repackaging is a one-off or the start of a pattern. It does land alongside a broader move across the index: tightening free access while adding new paid structure, the same day MindsDB loosened one free-tier cap while raising other rates. That combination shows up in 5.4% of pricing changes tracked across the index in the last 180 days, a pattern also visited recently by Contentdrips and Kapwing.
