Before you decide
Vapi: Usage-based hosting plus provider costs for transcription, language models, speech and telephony. Bring-your-own keys move provider billing to your own account. Includes 10 concurrent calls; extra lines cost $10/month each. Scale uses a quoted platform fee and committed volume under an annual contract. Yellow.ai: Custom Enterprise subscription with applicable usage and module charges. Free-plan allowances differ between the pricing page and billing documentation; confirm the included volume and chargeable-resolution definition before estimating cost. 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 Vapi include prompts; custom functions; documents; external APIs. For Yellow.ai, they include knowledge bases; FAQs; CRM/ERP systems; documents; APIs.
