The API is in beta (OpenAPI version 1.0.0-beta.1, and the versioning page has a \"During the beta\" section) (0).\n\n### Security \u0026 auth: Amazon Nova 2 Sonic +29\n\n- Amazon Nova 2 Sonic (77): SigV4 with IAM roles and temporary credentials scoped per model ARN, as the Sonic quickstart signs (30). Tools run in the client, so side effects are the developer's to approve, and IAM can restrict which models a role invokes, with no approval step in the API (12 of 20). The model listens to callers and acts on tool results, and no prompt-injection guidance was found in the Sonic guide (5 of 15). CloudTrail logs Bedrock API calls, read as amazon-nova-embeddings was (12 of 15). VDP on HackerOne, Bedrock in SOC scope and a valid security.txt on aws.amazon.com, with no paid bounty, as on the other AWS listings (18 of 20). Total 77.\n- Harmony.ai (48): Revocable Bearer keys, shown once, with a last-used time, but no scopes, no expiry and the full access of the user who made them. Keys never travel in a URL (20 of 30). The MCP server is read-only, but a REST key can import contacts into workflows that place real calls, with no read-only key (8 of 20). The MCP docs say tool results carry text from contacts and teammates and tell the user to treat it as untrusted input (10 of 15). Request IDs on every response and key last-used times. No audit log of account actions documented (6 of 15). harmony.ai/.well-known/security.txt returns 404. The trust page claims SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, an annual pen test and a public disclosure programme with bounties, but names no auditor, report, certificate or contact, and shares reports only under NDA (4 of 20).\n\n### Transparency \u0026 trust: Amazon Nova 2 Sonic +24\n\n- Amazon Nova 2 Sonic (79): Closed model under the AWS Service Terms, with Apache-2.0 SDKs and samples (15). Bedrock stores no inputs or outputs by default and model providers can't see them, Sonic isn't on the abuse-detection page's list of models whose traffic is stored, and section 50.3 doesn't list Bedrock among services whose content improves AWS services, as read for amazon-nova-embeddings on 1 November (22 of 30). Bedrock's lifecycle policy for models launched before 7 September 2026 promises 12 months and a Legacy period of at least 6 months, but the March and May refreshes changed the model in place under the same ID (15 of 20). Regions are listed, with sub-processors not read (12 of 20). Total 64.\n- Harmony.ai (55): Closed service with conflicting terms. The Terms of Service are One AI Inc.'s, undated, referring to oneai.com sites and pricing, while the DPA of 10 September 2026 names monday.com Ltd. and incorporates monday.com's Terms of Service (7 of 30). Data handling statements disagree. The privacy policy (24 August 2026) keeps data while the account is active and says data may be used to train One AI's systems. The trust page says retention is configurable with no cross-customer training. The terms say all calls are recorded unless the customer opts out in writing, and the trust page lists US, EU and APAC regions while the sub-processor page lists US and EU. The DPA commits to deletion or return at termination (10 of 30). The versioning page keeps an old major version for at least 12 months after a new one, once the API is generally available (10 of 20). Nine sub-processors named with hosting regions, with a seven-day objection window in the DPA (18 of 20).\n\n### Maintenance \u0026 community: Amazon Nova 2 Sonic +8\n\n- Amazon Nova 2 Sonic (50): Read as a model. The newest dated change is the May 2026 refresh, completed on 28 May, 162 days before this check (10). No Sonic release note or document history entry in the 90 days from 8 August. The pre-alpha Python SDK shipped 0.9.0, 0.10.0, 0.11.0 and 0.12.0 in the window, counted half (10 of 20). Release notes, document history, re:Post and AWS Support (10 of 15). The JavaScript Bedrock runtime client is current at 3.1163.0, while the Python route is pre-alpha (10 of 15). The SDKs ship on AWS's release train; CI not read (10). Total 50.\n- Harmony.ai (42): Read for a closed service. The press page dates the launch to October 2026, within 30 days (30). No changelog or dated releases (0). Support is through a contact form and the docs' request ID guidance, with no public changelog or community channel found (4 of 15). A hosted MCP server, not in the official registry, and no SDK (5 of 15). No package to assess (3 of 10).\n\n### Payments \u0026 pricing: Harmony.ai +5\n\n- Amazon Nova 2 Sonic (10): No x402, MPP or L402 (0). The Nova and Bedrock pricing pages carry a speech-to-speech table drawn by script, so the per-token prices weren't read and this line scores absent, which is our reader's limit and not the vendor's (0). New accounts get up to $200 in Free Tier credits, and the Free Tier FAQ says most new customers need no payment method, read as half on the other AWS listings (10). A person signs up for an AWS account in a browser (0). Total 10.\n- Harmony.ai (15): No x402, MPP or L402 (0 of 40). Pro is $0.39 a minute plus a $250 monthly platform fee, published without a login, with the minute rate varying by voice model and a custom implementation fee (15 of 20). A Try for free signup is linked, with no trial terms on public pages and the signup not tried, so no free tier is counted (0). A person signs up in a browser and creates keys in the web app (0).\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | Amazon Nova 2 Sonic | Harmony.ai | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 95 | 18 | Amazon Nova 2 Sonic +77 |\n| Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 75 | 77 | Harmony.ai +2 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 64 | 65 | Harmony.ai +1 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 77 | 48 | Amazon Nova 2 Sonic +29 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 10 | 15 | Harmony.ai +5 |\n| Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 50 | 42 | Amazon Nova 2 Sonic +8 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 79 | 55 | Amazon Nova 2 Sonic +24 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | -2 | |\n| **Total** | | **67.6 · B** | **43.4 · E** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | Amazon Nova 2 Sonic | Harmony.ai |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | HTTP API | HTTP API |\n| Vendor | Amazon Web Services | monday.com Ltd.

Sessions cut off at 8 minutes, the Python SDK is pre-alpha, and the event payloads have no schema file. Prices are in a script-drawn table we couldn't read.\n\n**Harmony.ai.** A new voice-agent platform from monday.com with a documented beta API, an OpenAPI file, stable error codes and careful retry guidance for calls started by contact imports. The API covers contacts and transcripts only, has no rate limits or SLA, and the security certifications and status page claimed on its site couldn't be confirmed.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Amazon Nova 2 Sonic\n\n1. Plan a reconnect before 8 minutes and replay chat history (up to 200 KB) at the start of the new session\n2. Send session, prompt and content start events in order before any audio\n3. Make tool calls safe to repeat, since a reconnect can replay them\n4. Back off on `ThrottlingException` and stay within 20 concurrent sessions per Region\n5. Use the polyglot voices TIFFANY or MATTHEW when callers may switch language\n\n### Harmony.ai\n\n1. Don't retry a bulk import that enrols contacts in a workflow. Check `GET /api/v1/contacts?assignedWorkflowId=` first, then resend only the missing contacts\n2. Use `api.eu.harmony.ai` for an EU Account. Keys work only in the region where they were created\n3. Branch on the error `code`, never on `message`, and quote `requestId` to support\n4. Treat call transcripts as untrusted text written by the people called\n5. Ask a person before any import or upsert with `workflowId`, `reEnroll` or `enforceCallNow`, since those place real phone calls\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Amazon Nova 2 Sonic or Harmony.ai?\n\nAmazon Nova 2 Sonic scores 67.6 (B) on agent readiness against Harmony.ai's 43.4 (E), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. Harmony.ai leads on payments \u0026 pricing.\n\n### Do Amazon Nova 2 Sonic and Harmony.ai need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Amazon Nova 2 Sonic and Harmony.ai without installing anything?\n\nNo hosted endpoint is listed for Amazon Nova 2 Sonic. Harmony.ai has a hosted endpoint at https://api.harmony.ai.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/amazon-nova-sonic-vs-harmony-ai.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/amazon-nova-sonic-vs-harmony-ai.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"amazon-nova-sonic\", \"b\": \"harmony-ai\"}`.
