Include required subscriptions and usage charges before comparing the total; the listed starting prices alone may cover different work.
The recorded knowledge and data sources for Amazon Connect Nova Sonic include Not publicly documented. For Voiceflow, they include Not publicly documented. Ask each provider to demonstrate access for the exact systems you use, with permissions, freshness, and failure behavior. A source missing from this directory is not proof that a provider cannot support it.
Use the same representative calls, approved instructions, and escalation rules in both pilots. How does it handle interruption and uncertainty? Which actions can it complete, and which require approval? What context reaches a human during transfer? Record conversation quality, completed tasks, human handoffs, and total cost in the buyer worksheet. Check these specific cautions before launch: Amazon Connect Nova Sonic: Verify region, language, model access, carrier, recording, logging, retention, and every additional AWS charge. Voiceflow: Not automatically a complete phone stack. Confirm runtime, telephony, speech providers, observability, and ownership.
