Total cost, side by side
Bland sells its rate and its platform fee together, by plan. Start is $0.14 a minute with no fee. Build is $0.12 a minute with a $299 monthly fee. You cannot buy Build’s $0.12 minute without its $299 fee, so this page never mixes the two plans.
Here is each plan at 10,000 minutes of calls a month. Start: 10,000 × $0.14 = $1,400. Build: (10,000 × $0.12 = $1,200) + $299 = $1,499. Komms: 10,000 × $0.08 = $800, plus $15 for one number = $815.
At 100,000 minutes of calls a month, the volume /pricing uses for every voice-AI row: Start is $14,000. Build is $12,000 + $299 = $12,299. Komms is $8,000 in minutes, the same figure published on /pricing and /komms, plus $15 for one number: $8,015.
Bland’s two plans cross each other at about 15,000 minutes a month. Below that, Start costs less, because it has no fee. Above it, Build costs less, because its minute is cheaper. (Our math: $0.14 × minutes = $0.12 × minutes + $299 at 14,950 minutes.)
Against Komms, the gap grows with volume. At 10,000 minutes, Komms is $585 less than Bland’s cheaper plan. At 100,000 minutes, it is $4,284 less. Bland also bills transfer time separately, at $0.05 a minute on Start and $0.04 on Build.
Bland’s Start plan includes one phone number. On Komms, each number is $15 a month.
