What sets Natalia apart
-
Public plans, no appointment to get started
Natalia's price list is displayed and you create the agent from the console. At Honax, the price is discussed in a demo according to its own pricing guide.
-
One agent per channel on a shared base
Voice, WhatsApp, SMS, web chat and email are subscribed separately, with no setup fee on the phone.
-
An On-Premise edition for call analytics
Natalia Analytics deploys in your datacenter for organisations that want to keep recordings inside their network. No such offer is publicly identified at Honax.
When Natalia fits
- You want to see prices before any conversation and create your agent yourself, without waiting for a demo.
- Your customers also write on WhatsApp, by SMS or by email, and you want one agent per channel.
- You manage call recordings to analyse in your own datacenter.
- Your business has call peaks and you do not want to think in terms of line caps.
When Honax is a better choice
- You are a building or energy services company (plumbing, heating and air conditioning, electrical, pool, heating oil) and want a journey already described for your trade.
- You are looking, in the same tool, for quote follow-ups, maintenance reminders, outbound campaigns and Google review requests.
- You want guided installation with a point of contact rather than configuring it yourself.
- You already use Orange, SFR, Bouygues Telecom, Free, Ringover, Aircall or 3CX and want a precise call-forwarding guide for each.
- You value an AI disclosure at the start of the call and a life-threatening emergency protocol to 15, 18 or 112, two commitments displayed on its site.
