Hi - Tropo should cost about the same as Twilio depending on your use case, but Tropo does alot more than Twilio for a roughly equivalent price. For example. Twilio just does SMS, Tropo does SMS and IM. Tropo adds speech recognition and higher quality speech synthesis, etc.
Also, I wanted to make sure I understand, what kind of specifics did you feel are lacking in Diggz post? We love to learn how to improve our product and our communication about it. If you are up for discussing it we will give you $100 on Amazon or Paypal for your time. Just email me at jtaylor at voxeo dot com.
Woah there, your post is misleading and I want to make sure no one is confused as a result.
You said you inquired about Voxeo/Tropo but the pricing you mention above has absolutely nothing to do with Tropo.
Tropo is 100% free for development use - always.
Production Tropo pricing starts at 3 cents per minute with free second-leg (connected) calls, free voice recognition, free high-quality speech synthesis, free 24x7 support, no minimum, and no port limitations.
Thanks for the info. Looks like I should re-evaluate things as at the time Tropo seemed to be a coming-soon/developer-only service that didn't have details around production pricing nailed down. The Prophecy IVR info scared me into thinking that Tropo might have similar limitations.
