WHY LIVEKIT ON TELNYX

When scale matters, infrastructure counts

LiveKit is where you prototype voice AI. Telnyx is where you run it in production.


When your voice AI moves from development to enterprise scale, the underlying infrastructure matters. LiveKit on Telnyx gives you the framework you know with carrier-grade telephony, colocated STT/TTS/LLM inference, and a single bill for compute, models, and minutes.


No third-party SIP provider. No fragmented vendor stack. No session fees eating your margins. Enjoy 50% less than Livekit during beta.

FEATURES

Everything you need to ship production voice AI

Enhanced reliability and better performance at half the cost.

  • Checkmark

    50% lower costs

    LiveKit Cloud charges session fees, bandwidth fees, and STT/TTS markup. Telnyx gives you 20% off model pricing, waived session fees during beta, and telephony included—not added on.

  • Checkmark

    Enterprise SIP Built In

    Telnyx is the carrier. AMR-WB codec support, STIR/SHAKEN attestation, call transfers, custom trunk configurations—enterprise SIP capabilities that LiveKit Cloud requires external providers to deliver.

  • Checkmark

    Ultra-Low Latency

    STT and TTS models run on Telnyx GPUs, colocated with our global telephony PoPs. 200ms round-trip times for conversations that feel natural, not robotic.

  • Checkmark

    Zero Code Changes

    Your agent code doesn't change. Your Dockerfile doesn't change. Update three environment variables, run lk agent deploy, and you're live on Telnyx infrastructure.

  • Checkmark

    Global Phone Numbers

    Buy numbers in 140+ countries directly in the Telnyx portal. No third-party number provider, no separate SIP trunk account, no integration headaches.

  • Checkmark

    Single Invoice

    Compute, AI inference, and telephony on one Telnyx bill. No reconciling three vendors, no surprise overages from different billing cycles.

140+countries supported

25M+API requests daily

10M+ call minutes per day

    Learn why Telnyx is the top LiveKit alternative

    Start here to understand how Telnyx stacks up against LiveKit across telephony, latency, reliability, compliance, and pricing. Unlike LiveKit's reliance on third-party SIP carriers, Telnyx owns its global IP network end-to-end. Because AI processing and media handling run on the same infrastructure, Telnyx delivers faster conversations, simpler vendor management, and costs that don't balloon as you scale.
