On voice
Decagon runs voice agents next to chat and email in one system. Communicate has no voice.
What changes
Different buyers, different tools.
Decagon is a strong pick for an enterprise that wants one agent across chat, voice, and email. A small team usually wants a price, a widget, and an inbox.
