Before you decide
Kustomer AI: Tailored platform and Concierge proposal based on the customer's setup. Voice, SMS, transcription and WhatsApp have usage charges; implementation may add a fee. Request the current base price, commitments and included AI volume together. PolyAI: Per-minute voice usage at a negotiated rate, including ongoing maintenance, improvements and 24/7 support. Confirm call volumes, telephony and contract commitments in the proposal. Ask both vendors to quote the same expected workload, required channels, and implementation scope. Include required subscriptions and usage charges before comparing the total; the listed starting prices alone may cover different work.
The recorded sources for Kustomer AI include customer timeline; knowledge base; tickets; connected commerce data. For PolyAI, they include call-center knowledge; policies; CRM/business systems; procedures. Ask each vendor to demonstrate ingestion or live access for the exact system you use, with permissions and refresh behavior. A source missing from this directory is not proof that a vendor cannot support it.
Use the same sample of real support requests, approved knowledge, and escalation rules in both pilots. Can it cite or restrict answers to approved knowledge? What happens when the agent is uncertain? Which actions can it complete beyond answering? Record answer quality, completed tasks, human handoffs, and total cost in the buyer worksheet. Check these specific cautions before launch: Kustomer AI: Pricing is sales-led; integrations and AI scope should be validated against the target channels. PolyAI: Quote-only and implementation-led; not a self-serve chatbot builder.
