Two Indian stacks, sold two ways

Here is how Gnani and Frequency differ.

Gnani builds its own Indian-language speech, voices and models, and sells them to banks and insurers through a sales conversation, with on-premise and air-gapped options. Its website prints no price. We publish ours in rupees, open the sandbox without a sign-up, and put you live the same day.

Gnani and we have built the same kind of thing: speech recognition, voices and a language model trained for Indian callers, with an agent platform on top. Gnani’s models are its own, and so are ours. The model behind our agents is the open Gemma 4 26B, served on our own GPUs in India, where every call runs.

The difference is how you buy. Gnani sells to banks, insurers and large contact centres through a demo call, with cloud, private cloud, on-premise and air-gapped deployment on the menu. We sell on the page. The price is in rupees, the sandbox opens without a sign-up, and you can be live by this evening.

What it costs, as far as the websites say

We looked for a Gnani price and did not find one. Its pricing link redirects to a Book a Demo form. The speech API pages, the enterprise page and the docs carry no rate, no free tier and no billing increment. That is a normal way to sell to enterprises, and it means you will know the number only after a conversation.

Ours is ₹5 a minute on pay as you go, with the phone line and call insights inside. On the volume plan it is ₹1 a minute. We bill in 10-second blocks, and a call nobody answers costs nothing. If you want to know what a month will cost before anyone calls you, the pricing guide shows how to work it out from your own call lengths.

Which to pick

Which is right for you?

Sometimes it's them. We'll say so.

Choose Gnani if…

  • You need Marathi, Bengali, Kannada, Malayalam or Punjabi now. Gnani's docs list ten Indian languages.
  • Your bank or insurer needs on-premise or air-gapped deployment, and certifications printed on the vendor's page.
  • You need to transfer a call to a person with the conversation's context today.
  • You want WhatsApp, chat and SMS from the same agent.

Choose Frequency if…

  • You want to see the price before you talk to anyone. Ours is on this page, in rupees.
  • You want to try it this afternoon. The sandbox opens without a sign-up.
  • You make a lot of calls. Our agents cost ₹1 a minute on the volume plan.
  • You want the phone line inside the rate on pay as you go, with a +91 number from us.

Where Gnani is ahead

Languages, deployment and the hand-off. Gnani’s docs list ten Indian languages for speech recognition and voice, and its marketing adds Odia. We have five live. Gnani offers on-premise and air-gapped deployment and prints SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR and PCI-DSS on its home page. And its enterprise page says an agent can transfer a call to a person with the conversation’s context, which ours can’t do yet. If your buyer is a bank’s security team, those three things may decide it.

What we’d ask you to weigh against them: a price you can read today, a product you can try today, and the phone line inside the rate.

Moving

Moving your agent across is easy.

Bring the agent you have. Most of it carries across.

  1. Step 1

    Open the sandbox.

    Look around with no sign-up. We ask for an email only when you test a call.

  2. Step 2

    Bring your prompt.

    Paste the prompt you already wrote into Agent Studio, and pick a voice and a language.

  3. Step 3

    Talk to it. Go live.

    Test it in your browser or on your own phone, then go live the same day.

Moving an agent

Your prompt and greeting carry over. A script with branches fits a node-based agent, and Agent Studio can draft one from your call recordings. Customer details go in as {{variables}}, you start a call with POST /v2/calls, and the result comes back as a signed webhook. Bulk calls move to campaigns, which dial your list inside the hours you set and pause if the wallet runs out. The India API guide walks through the rest, and the quickstart takes you from a new key to a real phone call in five minutes.

Hear it before the demo call

Write a test script from your real calls, with the names, rupee amounts and English words your customers drop into Hindi, Gujarati, Tamil or Telugu. Put it on our sandbox this afternoon and ring your own phone. Then take the same script to Gnani’s demo. Comparing two agents on the same script, on your own number, tells you more than any table on this page.

Questions

Here is what people ask before switching from Gnani.

What does Gnani charge per minute?

Its website doesn't say. The pricing link goes to a demo form, and the speech API, enterprise and docs pages carry no price. You'll have that number after a sales call. Ours is on this page: ₹5 a minute pay as you go with the line included, and ₹1 a minute on the volume plan.

Does Gnani run in India?

Its site says cloud, private cloud, on-premise and air-gapped deployment, citing RBI and IRDAI residency rules. The docs' agent regions are Asia, Americas and Europe, with no city named. Every one of our calls runs on our own GPUs in India.

Can the agent hand a call to a person?

Gnani's enterprise page says yes, with the conversation's context. We can't yet. It's on our roadmap, without a date. Until then the agent promises a callback, and your system picks it up from the call's outcome.

Do you speak Tamil and Telugu?

Yes. Tamil and Telugu are live in our speech recognition and our voice, with Hindi, Gujarati, English and Hinglish. Bengali, Marathi and Kannada are coming. Gnani lists ten Indian languages today.
