Why choose Burki over vapi.ai?
Real User Experience: “I was a vapi.ai power user for 2.5 years. The UI never worked properly, latency was terrible (4-5 seconds), and their recent pricing changes would cost my startup $800/month. With Burki, I get sub-second response times and complete control over my costs.”
