Sim and Vapi are both AI Agents tools. Pricing, free tiers and language support compared below.

Sim

Has a free plan

Free plan US$0, "Free forever". Included credits are "1,000 one-time", i.e. a single 1,000-credit grant (not monthly); the Weekly refresh column shows "–", meaning no weekly top-up (only paid plans get Pro +2,000/week and Max +4,000/week, reset every 7 days and not accumulated). 1 workspace, cannot invite teammates. Concurrent executions capped at 10; rate limits of 50 sync runs/min, 200 async runs/min and 30 API endpoint calls/min; execution timeouts of 5 minutes (sync) and 90 minutes (async); storage of 5GB of files, up to 5 tables, up to 50,000 rows per table, 30 days log retention. Not included on the free plan: Sim Mailer (Inbox), KB Live Sync, Sandboxes, Slack Connect, Access Control, SSO, SOC2 Compliance, Self Hosting, Dedicated Support. When credits run out, the official docs state "usage is capped at your plan's included credits and runs will stop" (runs stop by default; paid plans can enable on-demand overage at US$0.005/credit). 1 credit = US$0.005 (docs). The source conflict recorded on 2026-08-09 ("pricing page monthly vs docs one-time") is resolved: on 2026-09-16 both the pricing page and docs.sim.ai/platform/costs show 1,000 one-time / Pro 6,000 per month / Max 25,000 per month. Sim is an open-source project. (Read directly from sim.ai/pricing and docs via playwright on 2026-09-16)

Vapi

Has a free plan

As of 2026-09-16 the official pricing page has been restructured into "Usage only (No Success Package) + optional Success Package". The sign-up starting allowance is "US$5 free credits to get you started" (US$5 of prepaid credit, not minutes; credits are prepaid US dollars applied to Vapi hosting at US$0.05/minute plus model, voice, transcription and telephony costs, the latter four passed through at provider list prices with no markup). Usage only includes 4 concurrent calls, 2 organizations, 1 included Vapi phone number, 14 days raw data retention, full model catalog, full platform access, peer-to-peer support via the Discord community, and email support without SLA. When the balance reaches 0 and auto-reload is off, the subscription is frozen and no new calls can be started (docs.vapi.ai billing). The old wording "60+ minutes included", "10 concurrent lines included" and "US$10 credit" no longer appears on the official site.
