Why teams pick CustomWeb
Their voices, our platform
CustomWeb speaks with ElevenLabs voices under the hood and adds phone/chat/SMS orchestration, a knowledge base, booking, and billing around them.
More than voice
One agent answers on the phone, in website chat, and over SMS — not just voice.
No subscription
Pay only for what you use; a flat orchestration fee per minute and message, provider usage at cost.
Who each is best for
CustomWeb is best for
Businesses that want a complete phone + chat + SMS agent (with great voices) rather than assembling one around a voice API.
ElevenLabs is best for
Teams whose priority is top-tier voice synthesis and who will build the agent around it.
