NovaReps vs Vapi

NovaReps vs Vapi. An API or a Finished Platform.

Vapi is a developer API: your team builds the agent, the booking logic and the client dashboard. NovaReps is a no code voice platform for inbound and outbound calls that an agency can brand and resell.

White label client accounts

Side by side

A Developer API Next to a Resellable Platform

Vapi and NovaReps solve different problems. The right one depends on whether you have engineers and want to build.

Feature Vapi NovaReps
What you buy A voice AI API. Your developers build the agent, the logic and the dashboard A finished inbound and outbound voice platform you can resell
Engineering needed to launch Yes. Developers build the call flow, booking and follow up No. You set up an agent in a dashboard without code
White label client accounts Not marketed as a built in feature. You build your own layer Built in. Create client accounts under your brand and domain
Calendar booking You build it against the API Google and Microsoft calendars built in
Outbound safety controls You build them Calling hours, Do Not Call list, daily caps, cooldowns and a kill switch
Depth of custom control Full control of every part of the voice pipeline Agent settings and webhooks on every plan. Custom API tools and MCP on Enterprise
Bring your own keys Supported Supported, or use managed minutes
Pricing model Usage based, billed per minute Plan based. On your own keys, AI and carrier providers bill you at cost

Bottom line

Which One Fits Your Agency

Choose Vapi if

You have developers and want full control of every part of the voice pipeline, and you are happy to build the client dashboard, booking and billing yourself.

Choose NovaReps if

You want to resell voice agents under your own brand without an engineering team. Each new client is a new account in your dashboard, not a new build.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Vapi a bad product?
No. Vapi is a strong developer platform if you have engineers and want fully custom voice infrastructure. 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 Vapi?
Vapi's public positioning is a developer API, so 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. Check Vapi's current features before you rely on this in a sales call.
Does NovaReps support bring your own keys like Vapi?
Yes. Connect your own AI and voice provider keys and your own Twilio or Telnyx account, and those providers bill you directly. Managed minute plans are the alternative if you do not want provider accounts.
Which is cheaper for an agency with 10 clients?
It depends on call volume and what it costs you to build. Per minute pricing looks low at small volume and grows with every client. Building the reseller layer yourself is engineering time most agencies do not want to carry. See the pricing page for current plans.
How is launching a client different on each?
On NovaReps you create a client account and set up an agent in the dashboard: a prompt, a voice, a knowledge base and a calendar. On Vapi your team first designs and builds the agent logic, booking flow and client dashboard.
Can I add custom logic on NovaReps later?
Yes. Webhooks on every self serve plan send call events to your systems. On Enterprise, custom API tools and MCP connections let the agent call your systems during a call.
