Verdicts

Synthflow API + MCP

Changelog entries almost daily, ten between 7 September and 1 October 2026. Sales-led only, contracts from $30,000 a year, no free tier.

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.

Before you call either

Synthflow API + MCP

  1. Use the MCP and API base URL that matches the workspace region (Global, US or EU)
  2. Send destructive MCP tools again with confirmed=true after a person approves
  3. Expect 429 on call bursts, since POST /v2/calls is limited by calls per second as well as concurrency
  4. Read the transfer failure reason on a failed transfer before retrying it

Vocily AI

  1. Send a fresh UUID in Idempotency-Key on every POST /v1/calls. The API refuses the request without it
  2. Pass a from_number the workspace holds. The shared Test Number returns 403 from the API
  3. Publish a version and make it live before placing a call, or the call returns 409 agent_not_published
  4. Branch on detail.code, falling back to the top-level code. A 429 body is flat, so read Retry-After
  5. Read currency on every call and chat record. Costs are in rupees or dollars depending on the organisation
