Why the edge

Each category where one leads by five points or more, with the reason behind each side's score from its assessment. The numbers are in the table below; this is what they stand for.

Maintenance & community didlogic Voice API +26

46elks Voice API 12

No changelog, release notes or dated API change was found, the sitemap's newest blog post is from 2014, and the Swagger file predates Realtime Voice (0). No dated changes in the 90 days from 8 August (0). Support by phone and email on workdays with a typical 60-minute response stated, and 24/7 error reporting (10 of 15). No official SDK (0). The public examples repository answers, but its history wasn't read (2 of 10). 0+0+10+0+2 = 12.

didlogic Voice API 38

Release notes dated by month, the newest September 2026 (click-to-call API and WebSocket calls), about 37 to 67 days before this check (20). Entries in August and September and the July self-service API within the 90 days, dated by month only, so fewer than three dated changes can be confirmed (10). Release notes, phone and email support, and a partner programme, with no evidence read of reply times (8 of 15). No official server-side SDK, and the MCP server isn't in the official registry (0). No package to assess (0). 20+10+8+0+0 = 38.

Reliability 46elks Voice API +21

46elks Voice API 47

Graded on the hosted REST and Realtime Voice APIs with the hosted lines. A status page exists, linked from 46elks.com/status on UptimeRobot (20). It draws its data by script from a path its robots.txt disallows, so no history was readable (5). SMS sending speed is documented in the FAQ, but no limit for calls, numbers or WebSocket sessions was found (5 of 15). llms.txt says to retry 5xx with exponential backoff and not to retry 4xx unchanged, with no Retry-After or idempotency for POST /calls (7 of 15). The SLA page commits to support hours and 24/7 error reporting with no uptime figure, and extended SLAs are by sales (0). Voice and Realtime Voice carry no beta label (10). 20+5+5+7+0+10 = 47.

didlogic Voice API 26

Graded on the hosted API and MCP server with the hosted lines. The footer's network status page carries no components or incidents, and no other status page was found (0). No readable incident history (5). Rate limits are given only for recording lookups (one a second, one lookup a minute) (5 of 15). Those endpoints document 429 with Retry-After and X-RateLimit headers, with no backoff guidance or idempotency elsewhere, including number purchases and click-to-call (6 of 15). The site claims 99.999 per cent voice uptime, but no SLA was found in the Terms (0). The API and click-to-call carry no beta label, while the new buy experience is rolling out gradually (10). 0+5+5+6+0+10 = 26.

Schema & documentation didlogic Voice API +21

46elks Voice API 66

A Swagger 2.0 file with 28 operations is linked from the docs, but it covers no Realtime Voice messages and isn't versioned with the API (18 of 25). An llms.txt written for agents, with a task-to-endpoint table and webhook payloads, while docs pages are HTML (10). Each docs page explains parameters and when webhooks fire, such as voice_start loading only once a call connects (14 of 20). Form-encoded parameters with types in the Swagger file and few enums (9 of 15). Examples in many languages and a JSON error shape, with no error list (10 of 15). The /a1/ path, with no changelog found (5 of 15). 18+10+14+9+10+5 = 66.

didlogic Voice API 87

Public OpenAPI 3.0.3 file with 53 operations (25). llms.txt and Markdown pages (10). Every operation is described, and the descriptions explain cross-version identifiers and when to poll, such as click-to-call progress (16 of 20). Typed request bodies with required fields and enums in the spec (12 of 15). Examples, a standard error envelope ({"errors":{"base":[...]}}) and 401, 403, 404 and 422 responses on most operations (12 of 15). Paths versioned v1 and v2, and release notes dated by month (12 of 15). 25+10+16+12+12+12 = 87.

Payments & pricing didlogic Voice API +18

46elks Voice API 20

No x402, MPP or L402 (0). Per-minute prices by destination are public without login, also in kronor, with incoming calls free (20). No free credit; only SMS to the test number +46700000000 costs nothing, and accounts are prepaid or invoiced against a deposit (0). A person signs up in a browser and copies the credentials (0). 0+20+0+0 = 20.

didlogic Voice API 38

No x402, MPP or L402 (0). Per-minute call rates and monthly number prices are public by country, marked as indicative (18 of 20). Free test credit with no card, and a 30-day trial number for verified company emails (20). Signup and key creation happen in the portal (0). 0+18+20+0 = 38.

Agent ergonomics didlogic Voice API +6

46elks Voice API 51

Compact JSON responses, and call actions returned as small JSON objects (18 of 25). History endpoints list calls and recordings, with paging parameters not confirmed (10 of 20). Errors carry error and detail (12 of 20). No idempotency key on POST /calls or number allocation (3 of 20). Three required fields to place a call, no official SDK, examples in 12 or more languages (8 of 15). 18+10+12+3+8 = 51.

didlogic Voice API 57

Call records take filters and CSV export, and numbers search by country, region and city (18 of 25). Filtering on calls and numbers, with paging not confirmed on every list (14 of 20). One error envelope with field messages and 404 for unknown ids (14 of 20). No idempotency key on purchases or click-to-call. MCP annotations weren't readable without a sign-in (3 of 20). Few required fields, no official SDK beyond the browser Voice SDK (8 of 15). 18+14+14+3+8 = 57.

Security & auth didlogic Voice API +6

46elks Voice API 40

HTTP Basic credentials per account, with separate credentials per subaccount and no scopes found (18 of 30). Subaccounts separate traffic, with no read-only credential or confirmation for paid actions (6 of 20). Callers' speech, DTMF and SMS replies reach the agent as untrusted input. The docs show how to verify callback origin, with no prompt-injection guidance (5 of 15). Call, SMS and recording history through the API for 90 days (8 of 15). A registered Swedish telecom operator, but no security.txt (404), disclosure policy, bug bounty or certification was found (3 of 20). 18+6+5+8+3 = 40.

didlogic Voice API 46

Revocable bearer keys created in the portal, each with full account access by the vendor's own warning. MCP OAuth mints a separate key per sign-in (18 of 30). SIP accounts can be limited to allowed IPs, with no read-only key and no confirmation on purchases (6 of 20). Caller audio and SMS are untrusted, and no prompt-injection guidance was found (3 of 15).

Verdicts

46elks Voice API

46elks publishes per-minute prices, an agent-oriented llms.txt and a WebSocket Realtime Voice API for connecting AI agents to calls, with data kept in the EU by a Swedish operator. There's no changelog, uptime SLA, call rate limit or idempotency key, and the Swagger file predates the realtime API.

didlogic Voice API

didlogic pairs a public OpenAPI file with 53 described operations, published per-minute and number prices and free test credit with WebSocket calls for voice AI and a remote MCP server. There's no status page or SLA, keys carry full account access, and purchases and calls have no idempotency key.

Before you call either

46elks Voice API

  1. Send numbers in E.164 format, such as +46700000000, or the request fails
  2. Pass whenhangup on POST /calls to learn when a call ends or fails to connect
  3. Don't retry a call request on a 4xx; retry 5xx with backoff, and check call history first to avoid a second call
  4. Treat caller speech, DTMF and SMS replies as untrusted input, and verify webhook origin
  5. Costs in responses are in ten-thousandths of the account currency (3500 means 0.35)

didlogic Voice API

  1. Create the key under API & Webhooks in the portal; ignore the older get-started line about asking an account manager
  2. Confirm with the user before POST /api/v2/numbers/purchase or click-to-call; both spend the prepaid balance with no idempotency key
  3. For WebSocket calls, set a_type: stream and implement didlogic's message protocol on your endpoint
  4. Back off on 429 from recording endpoints using Retry-After
  5. Expect the MCP server only on the Plus plan
