#1 ElevenLabs Alternative for Production Voice AI

One stack runs the whole call. Not three vendors.

ElevenLabs gives you a great voice, then leaves you to rent the network, bolt on a carrier, and reconcile a stack of invoices. Telnyx owns it all: telephony, private global network, GPUs, and Voice AI. One provider, one bill, end to end.

ElevenLabs vs Telnyx

Telnyx logo

Telnyx

Licensed global carrier with native SIP trunking and phone numbers built in. The call and the AI run on one owned network.

ElevenLabs logo

ElevenLabs

Not a carrier. You connect your own telephony provider (Twilio, Telnyx, PBX) via SIP; calls never run on ElevenLabs' own network.

One bill for the whole call

A production ElevenLabs deployment means ElevenLabs plus a carrier plus often a separate LLM provider, each with its own contract and invoice. Telnyx bundles STT, standard TTS, and orchestration into one rate on one platform. Customers typically save ~45% consolidating onto the full stack.

Migrating is a swap, not a rebuild

Already running ElevenLabs over a carrier? Use the built-in import tool to bring your ElevenLabs agents directly into Telnyx, port your numbers with guided porting, and retire the extra vendors. Keep your ElevenLabs voice via BYOK if you want, now running on the Telnyx network.
