Dialpad ships AIwellWe do too — without the 100-seat floor.
Dialpad's AI surface is genuinely good. Its Enterprise plan needs 100 users. Twiching ships real-time transcription, sentiment and an AI receptionist on the Starter plan with no minimum, and Custom (50+ seats) for unlimited AI minutes.
The architecture difference
7 products on Dialpad is one product on Twiching.
The same capabilities exist on both sides. The difference is how many things you integrate, monitor and reason about to get them to work together.
Dialpad
Strong AI, but contact-centre is a separate product
Strong product family, but UCaaS + AI CC + AI Sales are sold as separate products with their own seats
Twiching
Voice, AI and contact-centre on the same platform
- Voice (PSTN, anycast PoPs)
- Business SMS + WhatsApp
- AI receptionist + voice agent presets
- Real-time transcription + sentiment + summary
- Native contact-centre + supervisor tools
- Predictive & progressive dialers (Enterprise)
- Visual IVR & auto-attendant

What ships in the box
Four things Dialpad doesn't include.
Capabilities most teams burn a quarter rebuilding on Dialpad — already part of Twiching the moment your account is provisioned.
Day-one parity, by default.
Every paid Twiching plan opens with the four items on the right pre-wired.
No 100-seat floor
SMB-fitTwiching Custom kicks in at 50+ seats for unlimited AI minutes. Dialpad Enterprise requires a 100-user minimum.
Contact-centre on the same console
CCaaSTwiching's queues, dialers and supervisor tools live in the same agent app as calls. Dialpad sells Ai Contact Center as a separate product.
APAC-anchored support
APACSingapore-founded (2019) and Equinix SG1 anchored — Dialpad is US-headquartered (San Francisco) with US-leaning support hours.
AI receptionist as a packaged preset
AITwiching ships a deployable AI receptionist preset on every paid plan. Dialpad's Ai Voice Agent is configurable but more of a builder than a turnkey preset.
What it feels like in practice
Pick a use case. See how each platform handles it.
AI receptionist, transcription, sentiment — bundled.
- AI receptionist preset on every paid plan with tiered free monthly AI minutes (25 / 100 / 300 / unlimited on Custom).

- Ai Voice Agent and Ai Contact Center are sold as separate products.
