Verdicts

Exotel Voice API + MCP

Local Indian numbers and DLT and TRAI handling. Per-minute rates and plan prices not published.

Voximplant

Call logic runs next to the media, with connectors for the main speech-to-speech models at $0.004 a minute. Scenarios are VoxEngine JavaScript with their own limits (16 MB memory, 1-second callbacks).

Before you call either

Exotel Voice API + MCP

  1. Use api.in.exotel.com for India-hosted accounts and api.exotel.com for Singapore-hosted ones
  2. Pass StreamUrl on Calls/connect for a quick outbound voice-agent call
  3. Whitelist test numbers before calling on a trial account
  4. Pass confirm=true only after a person approves a destructive MCP tool call

Voximplant

  1. Upload a VoxEngine scenario and a rule first, then start it with StartScenarios and pass the number in script_custom_data
  2. Use a service-account JWT rather than api_key in the URL
  3. Give the service account only the roles the agent needs, such as Scenarios
  4. Ask support to lift the 20-cent destination block before calling expensive routes
