Livekit alternatives in detail

  1. Pipecat

    open sourceBSD-2-ClauseLinux, macOS, WindowsVoice

    Pipecat is an open-source Python framework for building real-time voice and multimodal conversational agents. It orchestrates the streaming STT → LLM → TTS loop, the audio transport (WebRTC/WebSocket), and turn-taking into composable pipelines, with integrations across dozens of speech and model providers — so you build the agent's behavior instead of the real-time plumbing.

  2. Vapi

    paidWebVoice

    Vapi is the buy side of voice agents: define an Assistant (prompt, model, voice, tools), attach a phone number, and you're live — the platform owns orchestration, turn-taking (vendor-claimed sub-600ms responses), interruptions, telephony, and multi-assistant Squads with context handoffs. Bring any STT/LLM/TTS providers (at cost with your own keys) plus a per-minute platform fee.
