Use the table below to compare each provider’s documented scope.
Before you decide
LiveKit Agents: Tiered monthly Cloud plans with included session/calling allowances and inference credits; Enterprise adds custom volume pricing. Parloa AMP: Consumption-based enterprise pricing tied to task complexity and effort, with proposals scoped to interaction volume and use case. Ask both vendors to quote the same expected workload, required channels, and implementation scope. 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 LiveKit Agents include Not publicly documented. For Parloa AMP, 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: LiveKit Agents: Calculator values are examples, not universal quotes. Team owns logic, data policy, reliability, and contact-center operations. Parloa AMP: Request the task-complexity definition plus services, languages, concurrency, carrier, and model costs.
