After 18 months testing voice AI platforms including Bland.ai and Synthflow.ai… Assistable delivered flawlessly on over 25,000 calls in recent weeks. It checks all the boxes with built-in features that more mature platforms haven't integrated yet.

The single worst thing about VAPI is the latency! It's not predictable. Sometimes the latency is within 800-1000ms and sometimes it goes upto 4-5s which makes it unreliable.

Verdict

Who should choose what

RazorSync (field service platform) vs Vapi (ai voice platform): pick the model that matches how you want calls handled.

  • Choose RazorSync if you need field service ops (jobs, dispatch, technicians) as the system of record.
  • Choose Vapi if you want highly customizable AI voice for inbound and outbound calling.
  • Consider ServiceAgent if you want an AI front office that answers 24/7, books the job, and takes payment without forcing a per-minute receptionist model.

One of these is ours. Here is the honest pitch.

ServiceAgent is the AI front office built for home service teams. It answers every call, books the job, and keeps your records straight. Try it and judge for yourself.
