About

Bland AI gives developers an API to create AI phone agents that make and answer calls with human-like voices. It owns its full stack — speech-to-text, LLM and text-to-speech — for low latency, and offers a visual Pathways builder, voice cloning, webhooks and CRM integrations. Entry pricing runs roughly $0.09–$0.14 per minute, with Build at $299/month and Scale at $499/month.

It's developer-first, so non-technical teams will find it heavy, and third-party reviews note mixed call quality and support responsiveness at scale.
