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
- Send a fresh UUID in
Idempotency-Keyon everyPOST /v1/calls. The API refuses the request without it - Pass a
from_numberthe workspace holds. The shared Test Number returns 403 from the API - Publish a version and make it live before placing a call, or the call returns 409
agent_not_published - Branch on
detail.code, falling back to the top-levelcode. A 429 body is flat, so readRetry-After - Read
currencyon every call and chat record. Costs are in rupees or dollars depending on the organisation
Vogent API
- Send an
idempotencyKeyonPOST /dials, a reused key returns 409 - Create a call with
callAgentId, plustoNumberandfromNumberIdfor phone calls - Tell the model when to emit
<|transfer|>, since transfers fire on that tag - Verify webhooks with the HMAC in
X-Elto-Signature - Expect new dials to fail at the workspace's concurrent dial limit until calls end
