Why look for a Thoughtly alternative

Thoughtly is a US AI agent platform that calls, texts and emails new leads within seconds, for revenue teams in mortgage, insurance, education and real estate. Its honest limitations for an Indian SMB: no published prices, and every plan is quoted by sales; Hindi is the only Indian language listed, and Indian numbers are not mentioned. If any of those matter to you, the alternatives below are worth a look.
