How to read the market
Three families of call center software
Cloud phone system (VoIP)
A hosted phone system that routes calls to human agents, with queues and call statistics. No autonomous call handling: a human always answers.
CCaaS suite with an AI option
A full contact center platform (multichannel, advanced reporting) where an AI voice module is available as an add-on, often limited to simple scripted scenarios.
Native AI voice agent
An agent that holds an open conversation, queries your CRM or e-commerce platform in real time, and decides on its own whether to resolve or escalate. This is Callifly's category.
Criteria
What to check before buying
| Criterion | What to check in a demo |
|---|---|
| Autonomous handling | Is the call resolved end to end by the software, or only routed to a human? |
| Integrations | Real-time connection to your CRM, e-commerce or ticketing tool, or just a data export? |
| Scalability | Does it absorb a spike of simultaneous calls with no queue and no extra license cost? |
| Pricing model | Per-seat license, flat package, or billing on actual usage? |
| Time to deploy | How long between signing and the first call handled in production? |
Pricing
Per-seat license or actual usage
Classic call center software often bills per seat or per connected human agent, regardless of the call volume handled. An AI voice agent changes that logic: there's no seat to multiply, only a call volume to handle.
Callifly has no subscription: €0.25 excl. VAT per voice minute, pay only for what you use. Full breakdown by channel on AI voice agent pricing, simulator on the pricing page.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Why not name specific software in this comparison?
Pricing and features for market software change regularly, and we'd rather not show a table that would be wrong in a few months. The criteria above stay valid regardless of the software you test.
Do we need to replace our existing cloud phone system with an AI voice agent?
Not necessarily. Callifly's agent connects to your existing line and can complement a phone system already in place.
How do I estimate the real cost for our call volume?
The simulator on the pricing page calculates monthly cost from your estimated volume per channel.
How quickly is an AI voice agent operational?
A first agent runs within 5 minutes for simple cases.
