Worth a look for multilingual needs, but the per-call price and thin public pricing keep it unverified for now.

Curious Thing alternatives
Free ($0.14/min); Build $299/mo ($0.12/min); Scale $499/mo ($0.11/min)
The 'no surprises' option — its headline rate is roughly the real rate, which is rare; you pay a monthly fee for that predictability.
Cartesia (Line)Free; Pro $5/mo; Startup $49/mo
A strong low-latency voice layer for builders — but the $0.06/min Line figure is before LLM and STT, so model the full stack.
Deepgram (Voice Agent API)$0 PAYG ($200 free credit)
The cost-sensitive, high-volume builder's pick — best free credit in the category, but mind the websocket-time billing.
Dialpad (AI Agents)Phone from $15/user/mo; AI Agents = contact sales
Buy it for the phone system with AI baked in — the autonomous voice-agent product, though, is a contact-sales black box.
