Vapi charges $0.05/minute per call.

Retell charges $0.07/minute per call.

A 10-person sales team running 8 hours of AI calls a day pays Vapi $1,200/month. $14,400/year.

Someone built the open source alternative to both.

It's called Dograh. 1,516 stars on GitHub.

You open the drag-and-drop workflow builder. You name your bot. You describe the use case in a sentence. You have a working voice agent in under 2 minutes. No API contracts. No per-minute billing. No vendor lock-in.

Here's what it does:

→ Drag-and-drop workflow builder for inbound and outbound voice agents. No code required.
→ Bring your own LLM. OpenAI, Anthropic, or any provider you already use.
→ Bring your own STT. Swap speech-to-text engines without rebuilding your agent.
→ Bring your own TTS. Full control over voice, latency, and cost.
→ Outbound calling campaigns. Dial lists, lead qualification, follow-ups.
→ Inbound call handling. Receptionists, support bots, appointment schedulers.
→ WebRTC and VoIP support. Real phone calls and browser-based voice.
→ Built on Pipecat and FastAPI. Production-grade Python backend.
→ Next.js frontend. Runs entirely in your browser. No desktop app needed.
→ One Docker command to self-host everything. Running in under 60 seconds.
→ Full source-level customization. Every line of code is yours to modify.
→ Data residency on your own infrastructure. No call audio leaves your server.

Here's the wildest part:

There is no Dograh cloud you are forced to use. There is no per-minute meter running on someone else's servers. There is no closed-source black box deciding what your voice agent can and cannot do.

Vapi is SaaS only. Retell is SaaS only. Both are proprietary. Neither lets you see the code. Neither lets you change the code. Neither lets you own the infrastructure.

Dograh can never lock you out. Because the code is sitting on your own machine.

Vapi: $0.05/minute. A 10-person team at 8 hours/day of calls pays $14,400/year.
Retell: $0.07/minute. Same team. Same usage. $20,160/year.

Dograh: $0. Unlimited agents. Unlimited calls. Your hardware. Your data. Forever.

344 forks. Built in Python. Maintained by YC alumni and exit founders.

BSD-2-Clause licensed. Self-hosted. Free forever.

100% Open Source.

Anthropic just leaked their 2026 agent roadmap in 22 minutes.

Claude team walked through tools, memory, observability, and the things most builders are 12 months behind.

The last 3 minutes alone are worth the watch.
