Layercode Finops

FinOps view of Layercode spend. Layercode bills usage-based per-minute rates for voice agent conversations. When using Layercode-managed STT (Deepgram) and TTS (ElevenLabs, Cartesia, Rime) keys, those costs are folded into the per-minute rate; with bring-your-own-keys (BYOK), STT/TTS and telephony are billed directly through your own provider accounts. Exact per-minute rates are not reconciled here.
