Choose Goal for batch and large-scale calling. Keep One-shot-call for development and testing.

**One-shot-call:** Send `task`, one `phone`, and `result_schema` to `POST /v2/calls` with an `Idempotency-Key` header—no published Goal needed. TypeScript SDK 1.0: `client.calls.create(...)` · [One-shot-call guide](/calls).

**Goal:** Publish a Goal in CALL-E Chat, then send `phone` and `variables` to `POST /v1/goals/{goal_id}/runs` with an `Idempotency-Key` header. TypeScript SDK: `client.goals.run(...)` · [Goal guide](/goal-runs).

</div>

## How billing works

**Total cost = Carrier Fee + Model Fee**

Under this model, you will pay Carrier Fee for telephone lines and Model Fee for combined model usage.
All prices are in USD.

<div className="billing-note">
  Call preparation and pre-connection may use model resources.
  Model fees may apply even if the call is not connected.
</div>

## Rates by calling mode

Outbound supports One-shot-call and Goal; inbound supports Goal only.

| Direction | Mode | Model Fee / 10 seconds | Carrier Fee / minute |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Domestic outbound | One-shot-call | $0.0296 | $0.0400 |
| Domestic outbound | Goal | $0.0148 | $0.0200 |
| Inbound | Goal | $0.0148 | $0.0068 |

**Coverage:** Domestic rates apply to the United States (US) and Canada (CA),
with more regions planned.

**Billing periods:** Model Fee uses 10-second periods, regardless of the agent's
speaking time. Domestic Carrier Fees are billed in whole minutes, rounded up:
both 30-second and 60-second calls are billed for one minute. International
Carrier Fees follow the carrier's applicable rates and billing increments;
Model Fee rates remain unchanged.
