Trikon and Dvaarik both answer Indian business calls with AI, and both bill per minute with no subscription, no minimum and no lock-in. The decision between them is not really about the per-minute number — it is about who does the work and what the rate covers. Trikon gives you a dashboard, a flat ₹5/min that bundles everything except the phone line, and asks you to bring or port your own telephony. Dvaarik gives you a custom agent built by the founder, ₹2/min with the number and line on the same credit balance, and the surrounding workflow — outbound callbacks, WhatsApp, Instagram, booking and payment links — connected before launch.

  • Choose Trikon if you want to sign up today and configure it yourself, especially if you already have a carrier account or an Indian number to port.
  • Choose Dvaarik if you want the whole system designed, built, tested and tuned for your business, and you would rather have one balance and one invoice.
  • Compare on landed cost, not headline rate: minutes plus number plus carrier plus GST plus anything you have to build yourself.

The 60-second verdict

Trikon publishes a flat ₹5 per minute for its AI voice agent, with no subscription and no setup fee — confirmed on trikon.tech/voice, /ai-voice-agent-india and /voice-pricing-comparison on 26 Jul 2026. Dvaarik's voice rate is ₹2 per minute from the very first minute, also with no subscription, no minimum volume and no lock-in. The two rates do not cover the same things, so here is the honest version. Trikon's ₹5/min bundles "platform, LLM, STT, TTS, recording, dashboard, transfer" but not the phone line: "Telephony/DID numbers are billed separately by your carrier." They will help you get a verified Indian DID or port an existing Exotel, Knowlarity or Servetel number, but the carrier bills you and no number price is published on their site. Dvaarik's number and one concurrent line are ₹2,000 per 30 days, debited from the same credit balance as your minutes — so a 500-minute month is ₹1,000 of voice plus ₹2,000 for the number, about ₹3,000, against Trikon's own published example of roughly ₹2,500 for 500 minutes plus whatever your carrier charges. At 5,000 minutes the same arithmetic on their published rate gives ₹25,000 plus carrier, against ₹12,000 with us. Two things cut the other way, and we will say them plainly: call recording is inside Trikon's flat rate where we add ₹0.10/min, and Trikon publishes a price-match promise — "Show us a lower like-for-like quote from any AI voice agent platform and we'll match or beat it." The bigger difference is not the rate at all. Trikon is a self-serve product — "Sign up, point it at your knowledge, pick a voice — and start taking calls today." Dvaarik is a build: we scope your calls, WhatsApp follow-ups, Instagram replies, bookings and payment links, wire them into your systems, and hand you a working agent in days.

Trikon suits a business that wants to start this afternoon without talking to anyone. Their own page says "Live in 5 minutes", the rate is published openly at ₹5/min flat, there is no setup fee, no minimum and no annual lock-in, and the bring-your-own-carrier model suits teams already running Twilio, Plivo or Exotel — they will also port an existing Indian number or take SIP trunking off a PRI line. They publish a price-match promise, so if the per-minute number is the only thing you care about, take our ₹2/min to them and see what they say. It is a genuinely transparent product and its rate is published openly, which is more than most of this market manages. Dvaarik suits a business that does not want to configure anything: you describe the problem on WhatsApp, we design and build the agent around your actual workflow, and it goes live in days at ₹2/min with the number, WhatsApp, Instagram, booking and payment links already wired in. If you have an in-house team and a carrier account, Trikon is the lower-friction start. If you want the work done for you and the phone line on the same balance as the minutes, that is what we do.

FeatureDvaarik AITrikon
Published voice rate₹2/min on the Bharat Standard tier — our permanent base rate, not a founding discount, with simple per-minute billing (whole minutes, the telecom standard). Studio HD ₹3/min, global voices ₹4–5/min where you need them. Call recording is +₹0.10/min on top.₹5/min flat. "Flat per-minute pricing. No monthly subscription. Billed only for live call minutes." The rate covers "platform, LLM, STT, TTS, recording, dashboard, transfer" — recording is included, telephony is not. Read on trikon.tech/voice, /ai-voice-agent-india and /voice-pricing-comparison, 26 Jul 2026.
Subscription required to startNone. Prepaid credits only — one balance for voice, chat and the number.None. "No subscription. No hidden fees. Pay only for the minutes you use." Their comparison table lists their own platform/subscription fee as "None".
Minimum volume and lock-inNo minimum volume, no contract. Credits never expire; at zero balance everything pauses rather than billing you.No minimum volume published. "₹5/minute of live call, no subscription. No setup fees. No annual lock-in. No surprises." Their FAQ adds "no per-seat charges, no annual contracts."
Setup fee₹40,000 for the custom build — currently free for our 10 founding clients, in return for the Care Plan's first 3 months at the founding rate of ₹5,000/mo and an honest testimonial plus a short case study after go-live.None published. "No setup fees" appears on the voice page, the India voice page and in their FAQ. They also state "No professional services contract required."
Money needed to beginMinimum first credit load ₹10,000, billed ₹11,800 with 18% GST. Month one debits ₹2,000 for the number and ₹5,000 for the Care Plan, leaving roughly ₹3,000 for usage.No published minimum. You pay for the minutes you use, plus whatever your own carrier charges. Nothing down before you see it work.
Telephony and the phone numberNumber plus one concurrent line at ₹2,000 per 30 days, auto-debited from the same credits as your minutes — one balance, one invoice, a published price. Extra line ₹1,500/mo, extra number ₹750/mo.Not inside the ₹5/min: "Telephony/DID numbers are billed separately by your carrier", and their table reads "Bring your own (Twilio/Plivo/Exotel)". They will get you a verified Indian DID or port an existing Exotel / Knowlarity / Servetel number, and support SIP trunking off a PRI line — but the carrier bills you separately and no number price is published on their site.
Who builds the agentWe do. The founder personally scopes, builds, tests with real calls and tunes your agent, typically live in days.You do. "Sign up, point it at your knowledge, pick a voice — and start taking calls today. No code, no AI team, no setup fees." They publish "Live in 5 minutes" for a first agent and same-day setup, with custom CRM integration typically 2–3 working days.
Indian languagesAll 22 scheduled Indian languages plus code-mixed speech — Hinglish, Tenglish, Tanglish — on the ₹2/min base tier.The India page names 11 with their regions: English (Indian accent), Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Gujarati, Bengali, Punjabi, Odia — "auto-detects the caller's language and switches mid-call". The comparison page says "included free — 10+ languages"; the generic /voice page says "English, Hindi, Kannada, Spanish, Arabic and 30+ more", so they are broader outside India.
Outbound and speed-to-leadAd and form leads called back within about 60 seconds, plus scheduled campaign boards over your own lead lists — set up and tuned by us as part of the build. Your own leads only, calling hours respected, the agent identifies your business.Published, and at the same 60 seconds: their edtech use case reads "Call every demo signup within 60 seconds." Their FAQ adds "The agent runs outbound campaigns from a CSV or your CRM" with "TRAI-aware collections with calling-hour and DND rules built-in". This is parity on the promise — the difference is who configures and tunes it.
WhatsAppPart of the build, from your own WhatsApp Business number, with no separate monthly plan. Meta bills your own account directly and Dvaarik adds zero markup — you can check it on your own Meta invoice. Coexistence included: when you reply by hand, the AI steps aside.A separate product on its own monthly plan. Starter ₹1,500/mo (card shows ₹2,500 struck through, "Limited-time offer"). Pro is published two ways on the same page — the plan card says ₹5,000/mo against ₹8,000, while their own FAQ and structured data say ₹3,200/mo — so we cannot tell you which is current. Pro add-ons: chatbot ₹2,500/mo, coexistence ₹2,500/mo, CRM ₹800/user/mo. Messages are "billed straight at Meta's rate" with "No markup".
Instagram, booking and paymentsOne brain across channels: Instagram DM auto-replies and per-post comment-to-DM rules, slot-locking bookings with WhatsApp reminders, and payment links sent inside the conversation with no commission taken by us.Not published on the voice or WhatsApp pages we checked. Their voice agent lists CRM, calendar and WhatsApp follow-up integrations; their WhatsApp Pro plan lists click-to-WhatsApp ads, broadcasting and a CSV campaign scheduler.
GST treatmentStated plainly: all prices are exclusive of GST, and 18% applies when you load credits — a ₹10,000 load is billed ₹11,800, being ₹10,000 usable plus ₹1,800 GST.Bills in rupees with a GST invoice: "INR-native billing with GST invoice — no USD/FX surprises", and their FAQ promises "a proper GST invoice — no FX conversion, no international card surcharges, and full input-tax credit for Indian businesses". On the pages we read on 26 Jul 2026, whether the ₹5/min itself is inclusive or exclusive of GST is not stated.

Pick Dvaarik when

Dvaarik is the better choice

  • You want ₹2/min from the very first minute, with no subscription, no minimum volume and no lock-in.
  • You would rather have the number, the minutes and the chat on one credit balance at a published price than manage a separate carrier account and a separate carrier bill.
  • You want the agent built for you and tuned on real calls, not a dashboard you have to configure, prompt and babysit.
  • Your customers code-mix — Hinglish, Tenglish, Tanglish — and you want all 22 scheduled Indian languages on the base rate.
  • You want WhatsApp, Instagram DMs, comment-to-DM rules, bookings and payment links coming from the same agent as your calls, without a second monthly plan for each.
  • You run Meta or Google ads and want the whole speed-to-lead loop — the callback, the lead sheet, the WhatsApp follow-up — wired together for you rather than assembled from a CSV upload and an API.
  • You want to talk to the engineer who built your agent instead of filing a ticket.

Pick Trikon when

Trikon is the better choice

  • You want to be live today without speaking to a human. Trikon is genuinely self-serve and says so: "Live in 5 minutes" — sign up, point it at your website, FAQs or PDFs, pick a voice, assign a number. Dvaarik starts with a conversation and a build, which takes days rather than an afternoon.
  • You already run Twilio, Plivo or Exotel with rates you have negotiated, or you have an Indian number you want to keep. Trikon's bring-your-own-telephony model lets you keep that stack, and they publish number porting from major Indian cloud telephony providers plus SIP trunking off a PRI line. We supply the number and charge ₹2,000 per 30 days for it.
  • There is no money down with Trikon. No setup fee and no published minimum, against our ₹40,000 setup (free for our 10 founding clients, in return for the Care Plan's first 3 months at ₹5,000/mo and an honest case study) and a ₹10,000 minimum first credit load billed at ₹11,800 with GST.
  • You need languages beyond India. Trikon's voice page lists English, Hindi, Kannada, Spanish, Arabic "and 30+ more". Our ₹2/min base tier is built for Indian languages; global voices sit at ₹4–5/min.
  • Call recording is inside Trikon's flat rate — their comparison page lists "platform, LLM, STT, TTS, recording, dashboard, transfer" in the ₹5/min. We charge ₹0.10/min extra for recording.
  • Trikon publishes a price-match promise: "Show us a lower like-for-like quote from any AI voice agent platform and we'll match or beat it." If the per-minute number is the only axis you are deciding on, take our ₹2/min to them and hold them to it — that is a fair use of this page.
  • You want one vendor for a cloud business phone system and a WhatsApp platform your own team administers, with a shared inbox and unlimited seats. Trikon sells those as products alongside the voice agent; we do not sell a phone system at all, and our WhatsApp comes as part of a build rather than as software you run.

Frequently asked

Questions about Dvaarik vs Trikon

How much does Trikon cost per minute?

+
Trikon publishes a flat ₹5 per minute for its AI voice agent, with no subscription and no setup fee. We read this on trikon.tech/voice, trikon.tech/ai-voice-agent-india and trikon.tech/voice-pricing-comparison on 26 Jul 2026, and all three pages agree. The rate is stated to cover platform, LLM, STT, TTS, recording, dashboard and transfer. It does not cover telephony: their page says "Telephony/DID numbers are billed separately by your carrier", so a carrier bill sits on top. They will source a verified Indian DID or port an existing number for you, but no price for the number appears on their site.

Is Trikon ₹5/min or ₹6/min?

+
₹5/min, as of 26 Jul 2026. If you see ₹6/min, that is Google's cached title for their comparison page rather than what the page says. We pulled all four Trikon pages as raw HTML and searched them: the only strings containing "6/min" are inside ranges like "₹8–₹16/min" that Trikon quotes for other vendors, never for itself. The cached title suggests the rate was higher at some earlier point, but we cannot confirm when or whether it changed, so we will not assert it. This is a good example of why a search snippet or an AI summary is not a source — the only reliable figure is the one on the vendor's own live page, with the date you read it.

Is Dvaarik cheaper than Trikon?

+
It depends on your volume and whether you already own a carrier account, and we will not claim to be the cheapest in India — several vendors advertise headline rates at or below ours. What we will claim is the terms: ₹2/min from the very first minute, with no subscription, no minimum volume and no lock-in. On landed cost, a 500-minute month with Dvaarik is ₹1,000 of voice plus ₹2,000 for the number and line, about ₹3,000. Trikon's own published example for 500 minutes is roughly ₹2,500, plus your carrier's charges for the number and the call legs. At 5,000 minutes the picture changes: ₹10,000 plus ₹2,000 with us, against ₹25,000 plus carrier on their published rate — that ₹25,000 is our arithmetic on their ₹5/min, not a figure they print. One caveat in their favour: they publish a promise to match or beat a lower like-for-like quote, so the gap is negotiable.

Does Trikon's ₹5/min include the phone number?

+
No. Trikon is explicit about it: "Telephony/DID numbers are billed separately by your carrier", and their comparison table lists telephony as "Bring your own (Twilio/Plivo/Exotel)". That is a legitimate model and it can work out well if you already have a carrier account with negotiated rates — they will also port your existing Exotel, Knowlarity or Servetel number, or take SIP trunking from a PRI line. With Dvaarik the number and one concurrent line are ₹2,000 per 30 days, auto-debited from the same credits as your minutes, so there is one balance and one invoice rather than two vendors to reconcile.

Trikon's page says "from ₹2/min" headline rates hide four line items. Is that fair?

+
It is a fair warning about the market, and we would rather answer it than ignore it. Their comparison page argues that a headline platform rate usually sits on top of telephony, LLM tokens and speech charges. Here is our entire list, so you can check: ₹2/min voice on the Bharat Standard tier with simple per-minute billing; ₹2 per chat conversation; ₹2,000 per 30 days for the number and one concurrent line; call recording +₹0.10/min if you want it; Studio HD at ₹3/min and global voices at ₹4–5/min only if you choose them; the Care Plan at the founding rate of ₹5,000/month, required for the first three months and optional from month four; and 18% GST when you load credits, so a ₹10,000 load is billed ₹11,800. There are no separate model, speech or platform charges behind that. Trikon's own ₹5/min is likewise bundled — their honest exclusion is telephony, and ours is that the number is a separate ₹2,000 line.

Which one handles Indian languages better?

+
Trikon's India voice page names eleven: English in an Indian accent, plus Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Gujarati, Bengali, Punjabi and Odia, with automatic switching mid-conversation. Their generic voice page claims "30+ more" including Spanish and Arabic, so they are broader if you take international calls. Dvaarik covers all 22 scheduled Indian languages plus code-mixed speech — Hinglish, Tenglish, Tanglish — on the ₹2/min base tier, with global voices at ₹4–5/min when a business genuinely needs them.

What does it actually cost to get started with Dvaarik?

+
The custom build is ₹40,000, and it is free for our 10 founding clients — the trade, stated plainly rather than in fine print, is the Care Plan for the first 3 months at the founding rate of ₹5,000/month (list ₹12,000) and an honest testimonial plus a short case study after go-live. Beyond that you load credits: minimum first load ₹10,000, billed ₹11,800 with 18% GST. Month one debits ₹2,000 for the number and ₹5,000 for the Care Plan, leaving roughly ₹3,000 for calls and chats. Later top-ups start at ₹500 and credits never expire. Trikon has no setup fee and no published minimum, which is a real advantage if you want to spend nothing before you see it work.

How do you check the competitor numbers on this page?

+
Every Trikon figure here was read on a trikon.tech page on 26 Jul 2026 — fetched as raw HTML and string-matched, with the sentence it came from recorded alongside it. We do not take a rate from a title tag, a search snippet or an AI summary, and we never take a figure about one vendor from a different vendor's comparison page, including our own. Trikon's comparison page does publish per-minute figures for several other named vendors; they label those as indicative effective all-in estimates and disclaim that they are based on publicly available information, but at least one of them still does not match what that vendor publishes on its own site today. We have not repeated any of them here, we have not repeated their customer rating either, and you should apply the same test to anything we say about Trikon: open their page and check the number yourself.

Can I try either one before committing?

+
Trikon offers a live demo on your own script, arranged through their site, and self-serve signup for the voice agent. Dvaarik has a demo agent you can call or chat with right now at app.dvaarik.com/dvaarik-ai with no signup, and you can message our WhatsApp and Instagram demo agents to see how the same brain handles other channels. If you want to talk about your own business, tell us your problem on WhatsApp at +91 93923 98750 and you will usually have a plan and a price within a day.
