Continue to About ↓- What it does
- LiveKit is an open source framework and cloud developer platform for building, testing, deploying and observing realtime voice, video and robotics agents.
More detail
- You write agent logic in Python or TypeScript, route speech-to-text, LLM and text-to-speech through LiveKit Inference, and run agents on LiveKit Cloud's global network or self-host the Apache 2.0 components.
- Best for
- Engineering teams building production voice agents in code who need managed scaling, native SIP telephony, model choice across many STT/LLM/TTS providers, and per-session observability.
More detail
- Also fits robotics and video teams needing low-latency realtime media.
- Pricing
- Build is $0/mo with no credit card and includes 1,000 free agent session minutes monthly, inference credits and one free US local phone number.
More detail
- Ship starts at $50/mo and Scale starts at $500/mo; Enterprise is custom via sales.
- Usage is metered per minute on top of the plan: in LiveKit's own calculat
- Main limitation
- Non-developers wanting a turnkey no-code voice agent, and teams that must show completed ISO 27001 or PCI DSS certification today, since those are listed as in progress.

Capabilities
A practical view of what is available and where limitations apply.
| Offering | Available | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Open source agent framework | Yes | Python and TypeScript server-side SDKs for writing agent logic; core server, SIP, Egress, Ingress and SDKs are Apache 2.0. |
| Managed cloud deployment | Yes | LiveKit Cloud handles deployment, autoscaling and dispatching; instant rollback is available from the Ship plan. |
| Inference gateway | Yes | Access to STT, LLM and TTS models from many providers with per-model per-minute pricing; exact provider margin is undisclosed. |
| Native SIP telephony | Yes | Connect agents to phone systems without trunk configuration; one free US local number on the free plan, other rates not shown. |
| Production observability | Yes | Session replay, transcripts, trace spans, runtime logs and session reports, metered at $0.0100/min in the example calculator. |
| Self-hosting | Yes | Apache 2.0 components can be run on your own infrastructure instead of LiveKit Cloud. |
| Compliance certifications | Limited | SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, CCPA and EU-US DPF are stated as in place and HIPAA BAAs are available on Scale and Enterprise; ISO 27001 and PCI DSS are listed as in progress. |
| End-to-end encryption | Yes | Optional E2EE encrypts media in the SDK before it leaves the client; hosts needing to process encrypted media must be given keys. |
| No-code agent building | Limited | A browser-based Agent Builder is positioned as a prototyping tool; full control requires writing code. |
| Independent review coverage | Unknown | No third-party review aggregator entry appeared in the supplied evidence; review themes beyond vendor-published customer quotes are unknown. |
