Verdicts

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.

Vogent API

IVR detection and navigation models for outbound calls. No public changelog and no release found since January 2026.

Before you call either

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

Vogent API

  1. Send an idempotencyKey on POST /dials, a reused key returns 409
  2. Create a call with callAgentId, plus toNumber and fromNumberId for phone calls
  3. Tell the model when to emit <|transfer|>, since transfers fire on that tag
  4. Verify webhooks with the HMAC in X-Elto-Signature
  5. Expect new dials to fail at the workspace's concurrent dial limit until calls end
