Frequently Asked Questions

Is Retell AI a bad product?
No. Retell is a strong developer platform if you have engineers and want full control of the voice pipeline. The difference is what you buy: an API and toolkit, or a finished platform an agency can white label and resell.
Can I white label on Retell?
Retell's public positioning is a developer API, so white label client accounts, branded domains and reseller billing are not marketed as built in features. An agency that wants them builds that layer on top. NovaReps includes it.
Does NovaReps support bring your own keys like Retell?
Yes. Connect your own AI and voice provider keys and your own Twilio or Telnyx account. Managed minute plans are the alternative if you do not want provider accounts.
Does NovaReps handle outbound calls?
Yes. Outbound campaigns are part of the product, with calling hour windows, daily caps, a Do Not Call list, cooldowns and a kill switch. See outbound voice agents.
How is launching a first client different on each?
On NovaReps, client accounts, plans and reseller billing already exist, so you create the account and set up the agent. On Retell the API is quick to call, but the agency facing product around it is yours to build first.
Does NovaReps keep each client's phone numbers separate?
Yes. Each client's numbers run on a separate Twilio or Telnyx subaccount, so you do not have to design that separation yourself.
