Looking for an Air AI alternative?

Air AI went quiet. Your calls don't have to.

Air AI promised autonomous voice agents for sales teams. If you've been burned by the upfront cost, broken features, or lack of support — here's what actually works.

What happened with Air AI.

Air AI launched with ambitious claims about fully autonomous phone agents. The pitch was compelling — AI that could handle entire sales conversations without human intervention. Here's what users actually experienced:

Promises vs. reality

$25,000–$100,000 upfront licensing fee

Before making a single call, customers were asked to pay five or six figures — with no guarantee of results or refund.

Platform went inactive

By late 2023 into 2024, users reported the platform was no longer functioning reliably. No public roadmap, no status updates.

Broken integrations and features

Users reported CRM integrations that didn't work, call quality issues, and features that were demonstrated but never shipped.

Stalled refunds and billing disputes

Multiple users reported difficulty getting refunds for services that were never delivered. Some resorted to chargebacks.

No support channels

Customer support became unresponsive. No public community, no changelog, no way to get help when things broke.

This isn't about piling on. Many people believed in what Air AI was building — and spent real money on it. If you're one of them, you deserve a working alternative.

How Klariqo is different.

No upfront fee

Pay per minute, not per promise. No $25K licensing gamble. Start with a 300-minute pilot and scale from there.

$0.10–0.15/min all-in

STT, LLM, TTS, and telephony included in one rate. No hidden costs, no surprise invoices for provider fees.

Live and paying clients

Enterprise BPOs are running real calls on our platform right now. This isn't a demo — it's production infrastructure.

SIP-native architecture

Direct SIP trunk integration with VICIdial, Trackdrive, Five9, and other dialers. Not browser-only.

Built-in call features

AMD (voicemail detection), warm and cold transfer, dual-channel recording, and compliance disclaimers — all included.

300-minute pilot

Test with real calls and real transfers before committing. If the numbers don't work, you walk away.

The math.

What 10,000 minutes per month actually costs with each platform.

Air AI

Upfront licensing $25,000–100,000
Outbound per minute $0.11/min
Inbound / API per minute $0.32/min
Telephony & integrations Extra

10,000 outbound mins/mo (Year 1)

$50,000 + $1,100/mo = $63,200/yr

10,000 inbound mins/mo (Year 1)

$50,000 + $3,200/mo = $88,400/yr

* Based on publicly reported pricing before platform went inactive.

Klariqo

Upfront cost $0
Per minute (all-in) $0.10–0.15/min
Telephony Included
STT + LLM + TTS Included

10,000 mins/mo at $0.12/min (Year 1)

$0 + $1,200/mo = $14,400/yr

Common questions.

Is Air AI still operating?

As of early 2024, Air AI's platform appears to be inactive. Users have reported being unable to access the service, reach support, or get updates on the product roadmap. We can't confirm their current status, but the volume of complaints speaks for itself.

Can I get a refund from Air AI?

That's between you and Air AI. Some users have reported success with chargebacks through their credit card provider or payment processor. If you paid a significant upfront fee for services that weren't delivered, documenting your experience and contacting your payment provider may be an option.

How is Klariqo different from Air AI?

Three fundamental differences. First, no upfront fee — you pay per minute, not per license. Second, the platform is live and actively serving paying enterprise clients with real call volume. Third, we offer a 300-minute pilot so you can verify everything works before committing.

What if I already paid Air AI and need voice AI now?

Start a pilot with us. There's no upfront cost, so you're not doubling down on another gamble. We'll configure your use case — whether that's outbound lead qualification, inbound call handling, or transfer to closers — and you test with real calls. If it works, scale up. If not, you've only spent on the minutes you used.

What verticals does Klariqo support?

Currently live with SSDI, Final Expense, ACA health subsidy, and general insurance qualification. Expanding into debt relief, tax, mortgage, and mass tort. Each vertical gets its own qualification script and compliance guardrails.

How fast can I get started?

Most pilots go live within a week. We configure your qualification script, set up SIP or Twilio routing, test with sample calls, and hand you a working system. No months-long onboarding, no waiting for features that never ship.

Voice AI that actually works.
