Telzino vs Built-In UCaaS AI Receptionists

A built-in AI receptionist is a feature bundled into one UCaaS platform. It's convenient if you run only that platform and need only inbound reception. Telzino is an independent AI agent platform. It registers as a standard SIP extension on any PBX, runs inside the NetSapiens portal, and goes beyond reception: outbound campaigns, in-call payments, SMS and email, with white-label on every plan and published pricing.

Questions to ask before you choose

  1. Does it work on every platform you run? A bundled receptionist works on the platform that ships it. Telzino works on any SIP platform that supports extension registration, including NetSapiens, Metaswitch, BroadSoft and Avaya.
  2. Is it more than a receptionist? Check for outbound campaigns, payments, email, helpdesk ticketing, interpreting and note-taking.
  3. Whose brand and price is it? Telzino is white-label on every plan: your brand, domain, pricing and SMTP.
  4. Can you self-serve and see the price? Telzino publishes its pricing and offers a 7-day free trial with $50 in credit.
  5. How is it switched on? Telzino is self-serve, and on NetSapiens you can gate it per customer.
