Key Reasons to Switch
Why businesses are moving to VXERA AI
No Developers Required
Retell AI requires you to write code, manage webhooks, and build your own frontend. VXERA gives you a complete dashboard — point, click, deploy. Business owners can set up agents themselves without hiring a developer.
Brain Intelligence Built In
Retell gives you raw API access to build voice bots. VXERA's Brain Intelligence automatically analyzes every call, identifies patterns, and optimizes your agent's performance — something you'd need to build from scratch with Retell.
Everything in One Platform
With Retell, you need to integrate a CRM, build a dialer, set up analytics, and manage phone numbers separately. VXERA bundles lead scraping, campaign dialing, phone marketplace, calendar integration, and analytics in one dashboard.
Instant Phone Provisioning
Retell requires you to bring your own Twilio account and configure SIP trunking. VXERA's built-in phone marketplace lets you search and provision numbers from 31+ countries in seconds — no Twilio setup needed.
All-Inclusive vs. Build-It-Yourself
Retell's $0.07/min sounds cheap, but add your own CRM, dialer, analytics tool, and developer time — the real cost is 10x higher. VXERA's $49/mo + $0.10 CAD/min includes everything a business needs to run AI phone agents.
Pre-Built Templates & AI Builder
Choose from industry-specific templates (dental, plumbing, real estate, auto) or use the AI Agent Builder to generate custom prompts. Retell gives you a blank API doc. VXERA gives you a head start.
The AI behind every call
Two engines. One agent.
VXERA AI runs on two purpose-built reasoning engines. The fast engine handles every live-call turn under 800ms. The reasoning engine handles the hard decisions — escalation, multi-step negotiation, post-call analysis. They cooperate on every conversation.
Live-call engine
Nova V2
Powers every spoken turn. Sub-1s time-to-first-token, low-cost per minute, tuned for natural cadence + telephone audio bandwidth. Handles the conversational layer — greetings, FAQs, qualifying questions, intent detection, simple booking flows.
Brain engine
Nova V2 Pro
Powers Brain Intelligence + every decision that takes more than one step. Reads transcripts, cross-references your CRM, decides when to escalate, drafts the post-call follow-up email, summarizes the day. Slow on purpose — it thinks before it speaks.
Engine cooperation
Live engine handles the call. Pro engine reasons in parallel.
Call in progress
Nova V2 speaks every line in under a second. The conversation never stalls because the agent is "thinking."Pro is listening
Nova V2 Pro consumes the same transcript stream, cross-references your CRM, and pre-computes the next-best-action so V2 has it ready when needed.After the call
Pro writes the summary, scores the lead, drafts the follow-up email, and flags any agent gaps. The whole packet lands in your inbox before the customer hangs up.Market footprint

Our dev team spent 3 months building a voice agent system on Retell. We scrapped it all and migrated to VXERA in an afternoon. Better agents, built-in analytics, and our non-technical team can manage everything themselves.
