Why teams switch
Why Indian teams switch from Vapi
01
Indian languages
On Vapi, Indian-language quality depends on the providers you choose and tune. ThinnestAI’s curated stack covers all 22 scheduled Indian languages in native script off one knowledge base, with Hinglish code-switching.
02
One bill, in rupees
Vapi’s platform fee plus each provider adds up per minute, in US dollars. ThinnestAI is one flat per-minute rate in rupees with GST invoices, phone line included on a number from us.
03
Indian calling rules
You set calling hours per campaign on the called person’s clock, so you can keep to TRAI’s 9am–9pm, and you keep a do-not-contact list. Telemarketer registration and consent stay your responsibility.
Honest fit
When Vapi is the right call
We are not the alternative for everyone. Vapi wins when:
- —Your callers are English-first and outside India.
- —You need SOC 2 Type 2 from day one — Vapi has it and we do not publish one.
- —You want to pick and pay every provider yourself, or the broadest integration ecosystem.
- —You want client SDKs and widgets for your own app.
