    Frequently Asked Questions

    SquadStack started as a sales-as-a-service company providing trained human tele-callers to Indian businesses, and has more recently layered voice AI agents on top of that human-tele-calling operation. Caller Digital is a platform-native voice AI company built for ops teams — pre-built use cases (COD, EMI, NPS, cart recovery, lead qualification), DPDP/TRAI/RBI compliance baked in, native CRM integrations, deployed in 2-3 weeks. SquadStack's model still leans on human callers; Caller Digital's leans on AI-first deployments with managed implementation.

    SquadStack publicly positions around Hindi, Hinglish and 8+ Indian languages. Caller Digital supports Hindi plus 13 Indian languages — Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Bengali, Gujarati, Punjabi, Odia, Bhojpuri-influenced Hindi, Awadhi, Marwari and English — using in-house models trained on Indian telephony audio (8 kHz code-switched calls). SquadStack covers the major North and South Indian languages; Caller Digital adds regional dialect coverage that holds up on Tier 2/3 mobile calls where WER on standard Hindi models typically drops 1.6-2.4x.

    SquadStack operates as a sales partner under its own compliance posture and does not publish detailed TRAI DND scrubbing, DLT template management or DPDP consent architecture for its AI agent product. Caller Digital publishes a documented compliance architecture: automatic TRAI DND scrubbing before every campaign, DLT template management inside the platform, DPDP consent linkage, opt-out cascades, Indian data residency by default, and sectoral overlays for RBI Fair Practices Code and IRDAI. For regulated outbound use cases in BFSI, insurance or healthcare, Caller Digital's compliance documentation is more buyer-ready.

    Both target lead qualification. SquadStack's strength is its human-callers-with-AI-assist model — useful when leads need long, consultative conversations a pure AI agent might not handle. Caller Digital is fully AI-first for high-volume qualification (BANT, intent, KYC reminders, V-CIP nudges) where the call is structured, the script is repeatable and the cost economics demand AI rather than human callers. For NBFC funnels processing 1,000+ leads/day, Caller Digital's per-outcome AI calls land around Rs 8-25 each versus the higher cost of human-blended models.

    SquadStack's pricing reflects its human-blended operational model and is typically quoted per campaign or per outbound contract, with a managed-services markup. Caller Digital prices per dispositioned outcome on AI calls — Rs 8-25 per resolved contact, with no charge on unconnected dial attempts. For high-volume structured campaigns (cart recovery, EMI reminders, lead qualification), the per-outcome AI pricing is usually 30-60% cheaper than human-blended pricing. SquadStack remains competitive where the use case genuinely needs a human in the loop.

    Caller Digital has dedicated BFSI/NBFC depth: an EMI reminder use case page, dedicated /voice-ai-bfsi pillar, RBI Fair Practices Code overlay (call-hour windows, no-harassment scripting, promise-to-pay capture), and published architecture for regulated collections. SquadStack works across BFSI but its content focus and case studies skew toward outbound sales rather than collections, payment reminders or KYC reminder workflows. For NBFC collections, bank renewals and insurance lapse recovery, Caller Digital is the more aligned platform.

    SquadStack handles telephony as part of its managed-services model — the customer doesn't directly own the SIP integration. Caller Digital is pre-integrated with Exotel, Plivo, Ozonetel, Knowlarity and Twilio, and DLT template registration is built into the platform UI. For ops teams that want direct telephony control, transparent per-minute carrier costs and DLT visibility, Caller Digital's setup is more transparent. For ops teams that want to outsource the entire calling operation including telephony, SquadStack's bundled model is simpler to start.

    Yes. Most migrations run as a parallel pilot: pick one high-volume structured use case (often lead qualification or EMI reminders), point a slice of contacts at Caller Digital alongside the existing SquadStack deployment, and compare cost per resolved contact, response rate and compliance handling over 3-4 weeks. Caller Digital's implementation manager handles CRM connector setup, DLT template registration and DND scrubbing during pilot. Most teams complete migration of a single high-volume workflow within 2-3 weeks once the pilot has run.
