Dapta
SMB platform for voice and text AI agents plus Flow Studio workflows. Dapti is the chat co-pilot that helps build agents, run scheduled tasks and research.
- Supervision needed
- Medium Voice and messaging agents talk to leads on their own. Review transcripts, booking rules and credits burn in the first weeks.
- Where it tends to fail
- Credit burn on voice minutes and Dapti answers on lower plans, and agents that go off-script on unusual questions.
- Pricing
- Pro $99/mo (100k credits, 5 users). Scale Up $499/mo. Prime $1,499/mo. Enterprise custom. Annual discount about 16.7% per docs. Pricing page (Checked Oct 19, 2026)
