Why call centers choose nomoVM over AMDY.io
More calls for the money where most centers start
AMDY's Starter plan includes 500,000 detections for $79. nomoVM Starter includes 1,000,000 calls for $99: double the volume for $20 more, which brings the cost per 1,000 calls down from about $0.16 to about $0.10. Further up, nomoVM Growth is $100 a month less than AMDY Growth, and nomoVM Scale is half the monthly price of AMDY Scale. Run your own numbers on the pricing page.
An accurate verdict at 2 seconds, not 3 to 4
AMDY's API documentation lists two modes: a standard, high-accuracy mode with typical latency of 3 to 4 seconds, and an immediate mode that answers faster at lower stated accuracy. nomoVM has one mode: it decides at about 2 seconds for most calls and only keeps listening to 3.2 seconds when a call is genuinely unclear. Every second of AMD is a second of silence for the person who answered, so a faster accurate verdict means fewer hang-ups and less dead air.
Setup with a key, not an IP list
AMDY requires you to register each dialer server's public IP before it can connect. nomoVM authenticates with the key alone, so servers behind changing addresses, new servers and failovers just work. Connections are TLS only; there is no plaintext port to accidentally use.
Real white-label, on every brand detail
With AMDY, white-label starts as a dashboard option on the $999 plan, and every customer's dialers connect to api.amdy.io. With nomoVM, a white-label brand gets its own WebSocket host and dashboard domain, its logo and colors, and emails sent in its name, so your customers never see ours. How white-label works
Safe by design
If a key is wrong, a free plan is used up or the service can't be reached, nomoVM answers FALLBACK before using any audio, so your dialplan runs Asterisk's own AMD() and no call is lost. Fallback calls are never billed.
Honest accuracy numbers
We publish both errors that matter, live people dropped and machines sent to agents, with how we measured them, on our accuracy page. Better still, measure both services on your own calls: our testing guide shows how.
