Alternative for the Romanian language
What is the alternative to Vapi, Retell or Bland for voice agents in Romanian?
Vapi, Retell and Bland can speak Romanian: the language comes from the voice and speech recognition providers you choose. Kallina is the alternative for companies that do not want to assemble these parts themselves: we build the Romanian- and Russian-speaking agent together with you, on our telephony, connected to your CRM, and we test it on real calls before launch.

Summary of their documentation and pricing pages. Their wording, not measurements made by us. We do not copy prices: they change often, so we refer you to the source.
| Platform | Romanian and Russian | How to pay | How to get started |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vapi | They depend on the chosen transcription and voice provider; the documentation requires that languages be written explicitly in the prompt. | Per minute, with hosting, transcription, model, and voice billed separately; telephony is billed by the provider. | Direct sign-up, build via API and dashboard. |
| Retell AI | Romanian and Russian appear in the language table for several voice and speech recognition providers. | Per minute, usage-based, composed of infrastructure, voice, model, and telephony. | Direct sign-up, build in the dashboard or via API. |
| Bland | The language parameter in the API accepts Romanian and Russian. | Per-minute rate that includes the model and voice; plans for developers, teams, and large companies. | Direct sign-up, built through API. |
| Kallina | Daily working languages, with native pronunciation on real calls; switching from one to another in the same call. | Monthly credit packages; Enterprise on request. | Demo and quote; we build the agent together with your team. |

What you get extra with Kallina for Romanian
Written scenario for Romanian
The scenarios have full diacritics, and names, addresses and numbers are checked in test calls so the voice pronounces them correctly.
Own telephony
Calls go through our telephony server, connected by SIP to your operator. The number customers know remains the same.
Recording announcement in Romanian and Russian
The server plays the announcement before recording, in Romanian, in Russian or in both, for all calls that go through it.
CRMs commonly used in the region
amoCRM/Kommo, Bitrix24, Zoho CRM, Odoo, Altegio, Syrve (iiko) and Google Sheets, plus webhooks for other systems.
Where Vapi, Retell or Bland are the better choice
You want everything through code
Kallina does not yet have a documented public API. For a product built around an API, choose a platform for developers.
You want to start on your own, today
All three have direct sign-up from the site. At Kallina, getting started goes through a demo and a quote.
You need an integration we do not have
Our list of integrations is short. If your system is not in it and does not have an API, choose a platform that covers it.
How much Kallina costs
The public monthly packages are $99 and $300 per month, in credits consumed according to call duration; above them, Enterprise on request. Agent implementation and telephony are charged separately.
Frequently asked questions
Do Vapi, Retell or Bland speak Romanian?
Yes, through the voice and speech recognition providers they use. Retell's and Bland's documentation list Romanian and Russian; with Vapi it depends on the chosen providers. The quality for your case can only be seen in test calls.
Then why Kallina?
Because you do not have to assemble and test the voice, telephony, scenario and CRM yourselves. We build the agent with you and verify it on calls in Romanian and Russian before launch.
Does Kallina use the same voice technology?
Kallina uses ElevenLabs for voice, one of the voice providers also available on other platforms.
Can I move an agent from Vapi, Retell or Bland to Kallina?
Instructions, the knowledge base and the scenarios can be reused. The integrations and telephony are rebuilt in Kallina.
Have you tested these platforms in Romanian?
We do not publish our own measurements of other products. The table reflects what they state in their documentation, at the time of checking.
