Plan the integration
Separate the base video allowance from hosted voice charges. Select the actual model before using any timing or action-control claim to make a purchase decision.
Read the latency correctly
The April 2026 Flash report uses an external reference voice stack. Its timing is not a measured result for today's hosted Starter conversation configuration.
Starter monthly video is $0.22/min plus a $0.11/min hosted component quote. Complete hosted allowance accounting remains unverified. Starter pricing covers LemonSlice-2.1. Flash and CWM-1 need eligible tiers. The Flash report measures 471 ms mean video first-byte and 2.04 s mean complete responses with external STT/LLM/TTS across 50 turns; these are vendor-run results, not hosted Starter measurements.
Questions to verify before launch
- Which model and tier are enabled for this session?
- Is hosted voice charged on included as well as overage video minutes?
- Does the published timing use the same speech stack as your application?
