What Is Synthflow AI?
Synthflow is a voice AI platform that lets businesses build, test, and deploy AI agents for phone calls without writing code. Agents can handle appointment scheduling, lead qualification, customer support, and call routing through conversational voice technology. The platform organises agent development around a four-stage workflow it calls Build, Evaluate, Launch, and Learn, and includes a built-in assistant called Aurora for scaffolding agents from natural language descriptions.
Who It Is For
| User Type | Notes |
|---|---|
| Builders, pilots, and small-scale deployments | The Pay As You Go plan is explicitly described as ideal for builders, pilots, and small-scale deployments |
| Teams handling 10,000+ minutes per month | The Enterprise plan is purpose-built for teams at this volume threshold needing guaranteed uptime and dedicated support |
| Agencies reselling voice AI to clients | The white-label toolkit add-on supports custom branding, subaccount management, and client rebilling, and is included at no extra cost on Enterprise |

Pricing
Synthflow restructured its pricing in 2026, moving from a tiered subscription model (previously called Starter, Pro, Growth, and Agency) to two plans for new customers: Pay As You Go and Enterprise. Existing customers on legacy Pro or Agency plans keep their current pricing and features unchanged, but these tiers are no longer available for new subscriptions.
| Plan | Base Price | Per-Minute Rate | Key Inclusions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pay As You Go | $0/month base fee | $0.15 to $0.24/minute combined LLM and voice engine billing | No contracts, 5 concurrency units included, additional units at $20/month each, full Academy and community forum access, billed when balance reaches $200 |
| Enterprise | Custom, billed annually | Custom, typically lower than PAYG rates | Unlimited concurrency, 99.99% uptime SLA, dedicated account manager, SIP trunking, white-label toolkit included, carryover minutes available, SOC2/GDPR/ISO 27001 compliance, HIPAA available on request |
Add-ons available on Pay As You Go: additional concurrency units at $20/month each, the white-label toolkit at $2,000/month, and phone numbers at $1.50/month plus per-minute call charges. There is no time-limited free trial; the platform can be explored, including building agents and previewing voices, without a payment method, but making calls or using chat agents requires one.
