When to pick which

Pick Calliyo when…

You're a small-to-mid Indian team (5-50 telecallers) and want predictable per-user pricing instead of an enterprise contract.
You don't need API-level voice/SMS/WhatsApp programmability — you just need calls auto-logged and followed up on.
You want to launch this week, not negotiate procurement for a quarter.

Pick Kaleyra when…

You're an enterprise that needs programmable voice/SMS/WhatsApp APIs for in-house dev teams.
You're already in the Tata Communications ecosystem and want a single vendor.
Your call volumes run into millions of minutes per month and you can negotiate carrier rates.

Frequently asked questions

Is Calliyo a Kaleyra alternative?

Calliyo is a fit replacement only for the call-tracking and follow-up parts of Kaleyra. If you use Kaleyra purely for telecaller productivity and call logging, Calliyo replaces that workflow at a fraction of the cost. If you also need SMS/WhatsApp/voice APIs, Kaleyra remains the better fit.

How does Calliyo's pricing compare to Kaleyra's?

Calliyo is published per-user (₹99/user/month annual). Kaleyra is volume-based and quoted by sales — typically a fit for ₹50K+/month commitments. For under-50-seat teams, Calliyo is usually 60–80% cheaper.

Can I migrate from Kaleyra to Calliyo without losing call data?

Yes — export your call logs from Kaleyra as CSV and import them into Calliyo during onboarding. Historical data stays searchable. Active call routing rules need to be re-configured.

Does Calliyo work with my existing Kaleyra-issued numbers?

Calliyo uses the SIMs in your team's phones, so your Kaleyra virtual numbers won't carry over. If you need to keep that virtual-number routing, you'd run Calliyo alongside, not as a replacement.

Do I need to commit to an annual contract like Kaleyra?

No. Calliyo offers monthly or annual billing. The annual plan is ~20% cheaper but there's no minimum-term enterprise contract.
