Which one should you pick?
Pick Smallest AI if you want a no-code builder for phone agents, with a team that helps design the first agent. Its plans bundle agents, calls and phone numbers.
Pick 60db if you want to build the agent yourself from parts: Garuda to listen, Vyas to think, Smriti to remember and Kaak to speak, all on one key.
If low delay is your top need, measure both. Do not rely on any vendor's own number, including ours.

A managed agent product and a set of parts
Smallest AI sells an agent product. You use its visual builder, get a template agent, and its team gives one-to-one help on the first agent. Extra custom agents are a paid service on its page.
60db gives you the parts. You write the loop that connects them. That takes more engineering and gives more control, and it keeps the cost to what you actually use.
A small team with no developers may prefer the builder. A team that already writes code often prefers the parts.
What Smallest AI does better today
These are the places where Smallest AI is the better fit.
A visual, no-code agent builder.
Hands-on prompt help for your first agent.
Phone numbers and parallel calls bundled in its plans.
A TTS Studio for previewing and making long-form audio.
On-premise and VPC deployment on its Enterprise plan.
What you gain by building on 60db
These reasons matter when you write code and want a low starting cost.
A low entry price
Starter is $6 a month for 120,000 credits. Smallest AI's paid plans start at $49.
No cap on speech concurrency at the top
Pro has unlimited text to speech concurrency. Smallest AI's Business plan lists 15 concurrent requests.
Unlimited team members
The whole team can share one account.
Chat and memory on the same key
Vyas and Smriti sit beside speech and transcription, so you do not add a second vendor for them.
Measured speed
In our June 2026 test of 330 prompts, the median time to first audio was 197 ms and the 95th percentile was 300 ms.
Plans and credits
Smallest AI mixes a monthly plan with usage rates per minute of transcription and per 10,000 characters of speech. Its page shows approximate rates that differ by plan.
60db bills in credits. Each character of speech uses one credit and Garuda uses 25 credits a minute. Pay as you go speech is $0.02 per 1,000 characters.
To compare, count your minutes of calls, characters spoken and number of agents. Put the same numbers on both pricing pages.
How to test both on your own calls
Write one real call script with a question, an interruption and a number to confirm.
Build it on Smallest AI's builder and on 60db's APIs. Note how long each took you.
Make 20 test calls to each and listen. Measure the gap between a caller finishing and the reply starting on your own phone line.

Can I export my agents and voices if I leave?
Test one real call
Build your call script on 60db and measure the delay on your own line. Then do the same on Smallest AI.
