Vocily vs Vapi
Vapi is a developer platform for voice agents with a global footprint and a deep API. Vocily is built for India: Indian-language models, Indian numbers, rupee billing, and WhatsApp on the same agent.
The short version
How Vocily and Vapi differ
Vapi charges a 5¢/min hosting fee and passes through speech, model, voice and telephony at provider cost, so a typical call lands around 8–13¢/min. Vocily starts at 4.10¢/min all models included, with 10 concurrent calls and no monthly fee, where Vapi's free tier allows 4. For a team selling in the US with HIPAA needs, Vapi is the established choice; for calling Indian customers in Indian languages, Vocily is built for it.
