02Where Levrage is different
- A finished product rather than parts: telephony, the voice AI, the CRM, campaigns and follow-up are already joined up, so nobody has to assemble them.
- One price for the voice AI, with no separate hosting, model or voice fees.
- Indian numbers and carriers (Exotel, Tata Tele, Knowlarity) and Indian languages beyond Hindi.
- Campaigns with calling hours and retries for unanswered calls, from a list or a CRM group.
- Bob builds agents from plain words, so operations teams don’t need a developer for every change.
03When Vapi may suit you better
- Your developers are building voice into your own product and want to choose and control every provider.
- You need free US numbers for inbound calls.
- You need a HIPAA add-on, which Vapi sells.
04Moving from Vapi to Levrage
- Your agent: paste your current instructions to Bob, Levrage’s AI operator, and it builds the agent with them. Test it against hard callers before anyone hears it.
- Your numbers: connect the ones you already use through Exotel, Tata Tele, Twilio or any SIP trunk, or take a Levrage number.
- Your systems: keep your CRM in sync, or use Levrage’s built-in CRM, and call your own APIs from the agent during a call.
- A pilot first: run it on your own calls and compare the outcomes before switching over.
