Methodology (reviewed October 26, 2026)

We grouped platforms by who builds the agent and where it works, using only each vendor's own public pages (listed in the "Source checked" column). We did not run benchmarks, collect reviews or score products, and we do not quote competitor prices. Jelliu facts come from jelliu.co/pricing and Jelliu facts. We re-check this page at least monthly.

• Data source: official vendor pages only.
• No ratings, scores or invented benchmarks.
• Published by Jelliu: see the disclosure below.

How we compared (and our bias)

Disclosure: this page is published by Jelliu, so we are not neutral. We describe every other product by its public positioning, do not score or rate anyone, and do not quote competitors’ prices because they change often — check each vendor’s pricing page. Last reviewed October 26, 2026.

• Who can build and run it (developers vs business teams).
• Channels: phone calls, WhatsApp, email, chat, internal apps.
• Ability to take actions in other tools, not only answer.
• Pricing model and how you start.
• Fit for the US, Canada and Latin America (languages).

1. Jelliu — best for business teams that need customer-facing autonomous agents (no code)

Autonomous agents for sales, support, appointment booking and collections across voice calls, WhatsApp, email and web chat, with campaigns, CRM sync and analytics. WhatsApp-first: link your account to WhatsApp and run Jelliu from the chat by voice, text or images. Languages: English, Spanish (LatAm), Portuguese (Brazil), French, German. Published pricing: Starter $79, Growth $249, Business $549 per month; Enterprise custom; Free plan with 15 voice minutes each month. Less suited if you want to write the agent logic in your own code.

2. Microsoft Copilot Studio — best inside Microsoft 365

Build agents for Teams, SharePoint and Dynamics data with Microsoft’s governance. Best when your company already standardizes on Microsoft.

3. Salesforce Agentforce — best inside Salesforce

Agents that work on Salesforce CRM data and workflows. Best for Salesforce-centric sales and service teams.

4. Google Gemini Enterprise — best inside Google Workspace / Cloud

Agents grounded in Google Workspace and Google Cloud data for internal productivity.

5. n8n and 6. Zapier — best for app-to-app automations with AI steps

Workflow tools where agents are steps in automations between apps. n8n can be self-hosted; Zapier is the hosted, no-code option.

7. Lindy — best general no-code assistant agents

No-code agents for personal and team tasks such as email, meetings and follow-ups.

8. Vapi, 9. Retell AI and 10. Bland AI — best for developers building voice agents

Voice-agent infrastructure and APIs for engineering teams that want to assemble phone agents inside their own product. See Jelliu vs Vapi and Jelliu vs Retell.

11. LangGraph and 12. CrewAI — best for fully custom agents in code

Open-source frameworks for engineers who want full control over agent logic, hosting and models.

13. ElevenLabs (ElevenAgents) — best for teams that want a voice-AI vendor’s agent platform with SDKs

Voice and chat agents from a voice-AI company. Per its website (accessed October 16, 2026): 90+ languages; telephony, web, mobile, WhatsApp, SMS, email and chat; SDKs, APIs, MCP and bring-your-own LLM; enterprise data residency in the US, EU and India. Source: elevenlabs.io/agents. See Jelliu vs ElevenLabs.

14. Relevance AI and 15. Gumloop — best for internal no-code agent teams

No-code builders where sales, marketing and operations teams create agents that research, enrich CRM records, prep meetings and run internal workflows across their apps (per relevanceai.com and gumloop.com, accessed October 26, 2026). Best for internal work; less focused on agents that talk to customers by phone and WhatsApp. See Jelliu vs Relevance AI and Jelliu vs Gumloop.
