Compare Telnyx vs Twilio

Telnyx logo

~50% Cheaper

Outbound: $0.005/min
Inbound: $0.0032/min

Direct-to-carrier economics. We originate calls on our own carrier network. Direct carrier, no resale markup. The price difference is permanent because the cost structure is different.

Twilio logo

Outbound: $0.01/min
Inbound: $0.0034/min

More layers between you and the network. Carrier capacity is sourced through third parties, adding cost and reducing infrastructure-level control.

I started with Retell AI, then tried ElevenLabs and Twilio directly, but the response latency was too high. I’d say something and wait a second for a reply, which feels terrible for a phone agent. Then I tried Telnyx. With the voice AI models and telephony running on the same infrastructure, the response was incredibly fast. That speed was one of the main things that sold me.
