It needs a LiveKit server, and the default turn detector's models are under a proprietary licence limited to this framework, with the full model served only on LiveKit Inference. No approval primitive or prompt-injection guidance was found.\n\n**Vocily AI.** The REST API is documented in detail for a product a few months old, with an OpenAPI 3.1 file, required idempotency keys on calls, a Retry-After header on 429 and signed webhooks. No status page, SLA, SDK or security programme was found, and two releases in September 2026 removed fields under `/v1` on the day they were announced.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### LiveKit Agents\n\n1. Set `LIVEKIT_URL`, `LIVEKIT_API_KEY` and `LIVEKIT_API_SECRET` before starting. Every agent joins a LiveKit room, on LiveKit Cloud or a self-hosted server\n2. Pass `inference.TurnDetector(version=\"v1-mini\")` to keep turn detection local, and read `MODEL_LICENSE` before using LiveKit's turn models anywhere but LiveKit Agents\n3. Pass `record=False`, or a dict per category, to `session.start()` if audio, transcripts, traces and logs must not reach LiveKit Cloud\n4. Call `context.disallow_interruptions()` first in tools that write, and set `on_duplicate=\"reject\"` or `\"confirm\"`. Duplicates are matched by tool name only, not arguments\n5. Wrap MCP servers in `mcp.MCPToolset` with `allowed_tools` (Python only). The `mcp_servers` parameter is deprecated\n\n### Vocily AI\n\n1. Send a fresh UUID in `Idempotency-Key` on every `POST /v1/calls`. The API refuses the request without it\n2. Pass a `from_number` the workspace holds. The shared Test Number returns 403 from the API\n3. Publish a version and make it live before placing a call, or the call returns 409 `agent_not_published`\n4. Branch on `detail.code`, falling back to the top-level `code`. A 429 body is flat, so read `Retry-After`\n5. Read `currency` on every call and chat record. Costs are in rupees or dollars depending on the organisation\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, LiveKit Agents or Vocily AI?\n\nLiveKit Agents scores 72.5 (BB) on agent readiness against Vocily AI's 53.8 (D), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories. Vocily AI leads on schema \u0026 documentation.\n\n### Can an agent call LiveKit Agents and Vocily AI without installing anything?\n\nNo hosted endpoint is listed for LiveKit Agents. Vocily AI has a hosted endpoint at https://api.vocily.ai.\n\n### Are LiveKit Agents and Vocily AI open source?\n\nLiveKit Agents is open source (Apache-2.0 for the framework and plugins. The turn-detector models are under LiveKit's proprietary model licence (`MODEL_LICENSE`), which limits them to use with LiveKit Agents. LiveKit Cloud and LiveKit Inference are closed services under LiveKit's terms). No open-source release is listed for Vocily AI.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/livekit-agents-vs-vocily.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/livekit-agents-vs-vocily.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"livekit-agents\", \"b\": \"vocily\"}`.
