Retell sells a voice engine to developers. Klariqo sells a running floor: the agent, the dialer integration and a signed record of every call, at one price with nothing to assemble.
Retell lists $0.07 a minute. That covers the voice engine. The model, the knowledge base, batch calling, branded caller ID and the telephony underneath are each billed on top, so a production minute lands somewhere else entirely.
One number, and the floor is already running.
The agent, the dialer integration, answering-machine detection, dual-channel recording and a signed record of every call. Your first 10,000 recorded calls are free.

The $0.07 buys the voice engine. Model inference is billed by which model you pick, from $0.006 for Llama up to $0.06 for GPT-4o. Then knowledge base access, batch calling, branded caller ID and telephony each land on top. On a production outbound campaign they stack.
That rate replaces the $0.07 base. Model inference, knowledge base, batch calling, branded caller ID and telephony are still billed separately, so an enterprise stack typically lands between $0.10 and $0.20. Klariqo is $0.15 with all of it included.
VICIdial and Trackdrive are both live in production with paying clients, and setup takes about ten minutes. If your dialer speaks SIP we can connect it.
Real calls, real transfers, and a signed record of every one. Your first 10,000 recorded calls are free, so you can run the numbers on your own volume before you decide anything.
Run the numbers on your own calls.
Start on one campaign with the dialer you already run. Your first 10,000 recorded calls are free, and every one of them comes back signed.
