Voice AI you own. Not rent.

Most “AI voice agent” companies are reselling the same platforms with a markup. voniq is built on our own infrastructure — so you get 40-60% lower costs, zero rate limits, and no one else's pricing changes hitting your bottom line.

The honest comparison

Platform agencies vs. owning your stack

Most voice AI “companies” in REI are one person with a Synthflow subscription and a GoHighLevel account. Here's what that means for you.

The platform risk is real. Retell just raised their Series A. Synthflow closed theirs in 2025. When VC-backed platforms need to show revenue growth, guess whose prices go up? Every agency built on top of them is one pricing change away from a margin crisis.

The numbers don't lie

When you go direct to the APIs instead of paying platform rent, the math changes completely.
