Retell alternative for agency owners.

Why agency owners look past Retell

Per-minute pricing layered on top of model + telephony costs eats high-volume call margin.

For agency owners, the friction is sharper. Per-seat and per-task SaaS pricing scales linearly with your client count, so margin compresses every time you sign a new account. A typical pricing reference for this segment is $1,497–$2,997/mo per managed service line; bundles command 10–20% premium per added line. — and that's the budget the SaaS spend has to fit inside, not next to.
