Frequently asked questions

Yes. Retell is a capable, third-generation voice AI platform with strong enterprise features like SOC 2 Type II compliance, HIPAA support, and 31+ languages. It works well for teams with technical resources. However, its drag-and-drop flow builder and per-minute pricing make it less ideal for small and mid-size businesses that need simplicity and cost predictability.
Retell advertises a base rate of $0.07+/min, but the real cost after STT, LLM, TTS, and telephony fees ranges from $0.13 to $0.31 per minute. A business handling 2,000 minutes/month could pay $260-$620. 365 Agents offers flat monthly plans starting at $49/mo with no per-minute surprises.
Absolutely. Most businesses complete the switch in under an hour. Paste your website URL and 365 Agents auto-extracts your knowledge base -- no need to manually re-upload documents. Your phone numbers can be ported over, and our support team helps with every step.
Retell offers a drag-and-drop flow builder, which is more visual than raw code, but reviewers note it still requires 'thinking like a programmer' to design conversation paths with nodes and branches. 365 Agents uses a conversational builder where you describe what your agent should do in plain language.
Retell has strong enterprise credentials with SOC 2 Type I & II, HIPAA, and GDPR compliance. 365 Agents also offers SOC 2 and HIPAA compliance but adds flat pricing and dedicated support, giving you enterprise-grade security without enterprise-grade complexity.
