# Baseten vs. Telnyx Inference \[2026 Fact Sheet\]

# #1 Baseten Alternative Where Capacity Doesn't Run Out

When your inference provider can't scale, you can't ship.

Baseten orchestrates across 10+ rented clouds, but capacity constraints are pushing production customers off the platform. Telnyx runs inference on owned GPUs across the US, EU, and APAC. Dedicated capacity, no shared pool, no risk of being de-prioritized.

## Baseten vs Telnyx

### Data sovereignty (in-region)

## Telnyx

Serverless inference lives on Telnyx-owned GPUs in the US, EU, and APAC. In-region by architecture, not a premium tier.

## Baseten

Multi-cloud capacity management spans 10+ rented clouds with geographic routing. US-concentrated, with no published regional serverless availability outside the US. Enterprise tier offers custom global regions.

### Zero data retention

### Full-stack AI infrastructure

### Pricing model

### Capacity and stability

### DevEx built for rapid iteration

### Model curation

### Voice AI latency

## Predictable per-token pricing on owned GPUs

Baseten quotes Pro and Enterprise pricing by sales and runs every tier on rented GPU capacity. Telnyx is per-token on owned GPUs, with 1M free tokens monthly bundled into the rate.

### Can I use Telnyx for inference only, without the communications stack?

### Does Telnyx support streaming?

### How does Telnyx handle traffic spikes?

### Does Telnyx offer dedicated or private deployments?
