An enterprise contact center platform, or a contact center tier on your phone system.
Genesys Cloud CX is a broad contact center platform sold in four tiers. CallSprout's Contact Center Pro is built for smaller teams that want queues, omnichannel and a dialer on the same platform as their phones, with Sage, our AI voice agent, on every seat.
Who Genesys is for
Genesys Cloud CX is a serious contact center platform. Its CX 2 tier includes voice, email, web messaging and SMS, outbound campaigns across voice, SMS, WhatsApp and email, co-browse, and quality management with evaluations. Virtual agents, knowledge tools and messaging apps such as WhatsApp and Messenger are metered with Genesys AI tokens beyond a monthly pool.
Workforce management and speech analytics are add-ons at CX 2 and included at CX 3. For a team that runs forecasting, scheduling and quality programs at scale, that depth is the reason to choose Genesys. For a smaller team that wants a contact center tier on its phone system and an AI voice agent billed by the second, CallSprout's Contact Center Pro is the simpler fit.
