A Vapi alternative without the assembly: NordTell compared
Vapi describes itself as a developer platform for voice AI agents. If you are comparing it with other options, here are the public facts side by side. Vapi's numbers come from Vapi's pricing page, read on 25 October 2026. NordTell is our product, and we are not affiliated with Vapi.
Two ways of pricing
| Vapi | NordTell | |
|---|---|---|
| Model | $0.05 a minute for Vapi hosting; speech, language model, voice and telephony charged on top at the providers' cost | A monthly package with minutes included; everything in one price |
| Plans | Free to start with $5 in credits; Core $29 a month; Pro from $999 a month | From €29 a month with 60 minutes, then €0.50 a minute |
| Built for | Developers ("API-native") | Businesses and agencies, no code |
If you have developers and want to choose every part yourself, Vapi can be cheaper per minute and gives you more control.
NordTell is for businesses that want a finished phone agent: a fixed monthly price, every feature in every package, warm transfers that brief a colleague first, native voices in Danish, Swedish and Norwegian, servers in the EU, and white label for agencies.
