Beside uses a robot voice.
Solvea uses yours.
Beside's AI answers calls — but in a generic AI voice. Clients know immediately it's a bot. Solvea clones your actual voice in 30 seconds. Clients hear you. The trust stays. The relationship stays. You just don't have to be there. This is the single biggest differentiator in the AI phone market.
Beside: solo only.
Solvea: team + agency.
Beside M1 is built for one person. One seat. No team features. No PC Desk. The moment you hire your first employee or take on your first agency client, Beside can't help you. Solvea scales from solo ($29) to team ($79) to agency ($499) — same number, same AI, same inbox.
