Retell AI
Composable voice agent infrastructure — BYO LLM and TTS, SOC 2 included, HIPAA-ready
Overall score
About
Retell AI is voice agent infrastructure that lets you compose your own pipeline — pick the LLM (GPT, Claude, Gemini), pick the TTS engine, plug in Twilio or Vonage for telephony, and pay only for what you use. Compliance posture is unusually strong for a startup-tier voice platform: SOC 2 Type II is included on the pay-as-you-go plan, not gated behind enterprise contracts.
Best for: Teams that want voice agent infrastructure rather than a bundled product — pick your LLM, your TTS, your telephony, and Retell stitches it together. The strong compliance posture (SOC 2 included on PAYG) makes it the cleaner pick over Vapi for regulated SMBs.
