Why choose Retell over
Bland AI

1. Customization: Retell offers superior customization options, allowing you to select different LLMs, such as OpenAI 4.0, OpenAI real-time API, or Claude 3.5. Retell partners with the best providers in the market, ensuring that voice AI technology stays up to date so that our customers never have to worry about it.

2. Stability and User Experience: While Bland AI may offer more features, it frequently experiences issues, with things breaking and an inconsistent UI that can confuse users. Retell, on the other hand, prioritizes stability and a seamless user experience above all else.

3. Flexibility and Multilingual Support: Retell has native multilingual capabilities, enabling users to switch between languages like Spanish and English within the same call. It supports 19 languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Hindi, Portuguese, Italian, Russian, Dutch, and more. In contrast, Bland AI only supports English. Retell also allows customers to use their own telephony providers—not limited to Twilio or Vonage—giving you the flexibility to choose any VOIP provider you prefer.

4. Reliability and Scalability: Bland AI boasts a 99.94% uptime, but Retell consistently maintains a higher uptime of 99.99%, making it more reliable. Retell also supports millions of phone calls and has numerous enterprise customers in production, ensuring it scales efficiently for any business need.

In terms of outcomes, we've achieved a 20% conversion to lead in a user segment we previously found challenging and didn't expect any conversions from, so we weren't reaching out to them before. We're delighted with the results, which have exceeded our initial expectations by five times.
