[Frequently Asked Questions](https://getnatalia.com/en/comparisons/natalia-vs-tala#faq) - ### Outsourced Reception A human provider answers your calls. Upside: empathy and human judgment. Downside: €15-25/hour, business-hours availability, and quality that varies by provider. Suited for complex flows needing human judgment - ### Traditional IVR (DTMF) A press-key voice menu routes the caller to a department. Upside: low cost, mature technology. Downside: high abandonment rate, no natural-language understanding. Suited for very simple call routing - ### Voicemail / answering machine Voicemail records messages when no one picks up. Upside: zero cost. Downside: most callers leave no message and never call back.
