Why Operators Choose Prestyj Over Retell AI

Retell is clean, well-engineered infrastructure. Prestyj is a finished product. Most operators don't need infrastructure - they need leads converting today.

Live in Minutes, Not Months

Retell is faster to set up than Vapi or Bland, but it's still 3-8 weeks before your first production call once you wire CRM, scripts, and compliance. Prestyj is configured for real estate and home services on day one - your AI agent answers the next inbound lead.

Predictable Cost, No Per-Minute Surprises

Retell's $0.07-0.11/min platform fee plus LLM, telephony, and engineering typically lands at $2,500-4,500+/month for moderate volume. Prestyj's flat all-in monthly fee makes budgeting trivial.

Built for Your Industry, Not a Blank Canvas

Retell is an SDK - you design the agent. Prestyj ships with real estate / home services scripts, objection handling, qualification flows, and CRM sync that already convert.

Business Support, Not Just API Docs

When something breaks at 6pm on a Friday, Retell points you at documentation. Prestyj assigns a success manager whose job is your booked appointment rate.
