## Voice call caps

Outbound voice calls are limited by both minutes and call count. The count cap exists because short-call loops can burn compliance checks before minute caps catch them.

| Plan       | Monthly outbound-call cap |
| ---------- | ------------------------- |
| Free       | 20                        |
| Starter    | 250                       |
| Growth     | 1,000                     |
| Scale      | 4,000                     |
| Enterprise | 20,000 default            |

Anima also enforces a per-second outbound-call rate limit to stop runaway loops.

## Compliance gates

Outbound calls run through server-side gates before dialing:

* TCPA consent attestation
* Reassigned Numbers Database checks
* Time-of-day windows
* Plan and monthly call caps

If a gate blocks the call, the API rejects it before the telephony provider dials.

## MCP pricing

MCP access is included. You do not pay per MCP tool call. The underlying action can still consume a metered resource, such as SMS, voice minutes, a phone number, or stored vault credentials.
