Our take
Pick Bolna if you're a builder who will top up $10–$500 and stay on preferred models. Pick Pipecat if you're voice engineers who will run OSS for $0 (you pay Deepgram / OpenAI / Cartesia) and only open Cloud when they want pipecat cloud deploy instead of a box. Skip Bolna if you're on a team that want one US all-in rate with no wallet math (Bland).
