One AI brain for voice and chat

Retell AI gives you a voice agent and a chat agent, billed per minute and per message, but no support platform around them. Yaplet ships it all as one product: Vex AI is the brain behind both voice and chat, reading the same knowledge base, inside a platform with inbox, help center, AI chat, and 12 more tools, on one flat plan.

  • Vex AI powers voice and chat from one knowledge base. Update it once, both channels learn.
  • Voice AI answers inbound calls in 17 languages with 30 voices, support-ready out of the box. No pipeline to assemble.
  • Shared inbox, help center, newsletter, roadmap, and more. All on one plan, none of them sold by Retell AI.

Pricing you can forecast

One flat plan, not a per-minute meter

Retell AI bills per minute, so the bill climbs with every call, on top of small monthly fees for phone numbers, extra knowledge bases, and concurrency. Yaplet is one flat plan per organization that bundles voice, chat, and 12 more tools, so your support stack costs the same whether you take 10 calls or 1,000.

  • Free forever covers most small teams. No build phase before you go live.
  • Voice and chat are built in on one flat plan, no per-seat fee. AI answers and voice minutes are pay-as-you-go, so your bill stays predictable.
  • EU-hosted, GDPR by default. Your data stays in the EU, no upgrade needed.

Talk to a real person

We can scope your voice setup in 15 minutes.

No. Retell AI is a usage-based platform where you configure a voice agent and pay per minute as call volume grows. Yaplet ships a support-ready voice agent on one flat plan: add your knowledge base, point a phone number at Yaplet, and it answers calls the same day, with chat and 12 more tools included. No SDK or code required.

Vex AI is the brain behind both voice and chat. It reads one shared knowledge base, so an answer you add for chat is also available on calls. On Retell AI voice and chat are separate agents you configure and pay for individually, each billed by usage.

Yaplet's AI voice agent answers inbound calls in 17 languages with 30 voices, low latency, and natural turn-taking. You pick a voice and language per agent, with no extra pipeline to configure.

Retell AI bills per minute, so cost scales with call volume on top of the engineering to build and maintain the agent. Yaplet is one flat plan per organization that bundles voice, chat, knowledge base, and 12 more tools. Your bill stays the same whether you take 10 calls or 1,000.

Yes. Voice is one part of a full support platform: shared inbox, live chat, AI chat agent, help center, newsletter, roadmap, bug reporting, tours, session replays, and affiliates. Retell AI offers voice and chat agents but no surrounding support suite, so you would pair it with separate tools for everything else.

Retell AI gives engineering teams low-level control: custom pipelines, swappable LLMs, fine-grained logic, and the freedom to build any voice flow you can design. If you have developers who want to own the stack and build something bespoke, Retell AI is the stronger choice. Yaplet trades that control for a turnkey agent that works out of the box.
