When I compare total pricing for a Voice AI in Livekit/Pipecat vs. VAPI/Retell I don't see the point of going with Livekit or Pipecat as it looks like the prices I would pay for SST, LLM and TTS in VAPI/Retell are better compared to what I would pay directly to e.g. Deepgram, OpenAI and Elevenlabs via Livekit/Pipecat. Even when self-hosted. Am I wrong?

A few days ago, I asked this community, "What video do you guys need?" And a lot of you said my process of how I build AI voice agents. So in my most recent video titled "How to Build an AI Receptionist for Med Spas," I show just that. I show you exactly the system and structure of my AI voice agents that I use in order to build more reliable, accurate, and production-ready voice agents. I hope you find it useful. If you have questions about the system, or if you have questions about the specific Med Spa nature of the receptionist, please let me know. Thanks!
