When to shortlist PolyAI

A provider page should narrow a discovery call, not replace a technical proof of concept or contract review.

Best fit

Large contact centers prioritizing managed deployment and complex customer-service conversations.

Questions to ask

  • Does the quoted minute include STT, TTS, LLM, telephony, recording, and failed attempts?
  • Which countries, number types, languages, and transfer destinations are production-supported?
  • What concurrency, rate limits, data residency, retention, and support terms apply?
  • Can you bring your own speech, model, SIP carrier, and phone numbers without markup?

Open alternatives to PolyAI

Self-hosting changes the bill and the ownership boundary. These starting points expose more of the runtime while leaving model and carrier costs intact.
