An enterprise contact center cloud, or a contact center tier on your phone system.
Talkdesk CX Cloud is a contact center platform built for enterprises, sold as Digital Essentials, Voice Essentials and Elite. CallSprout's Contact Center Pro gives smaller teams queues, omnichannel and a dialer on the same platform as their phones, with Sage, our AI voice agent, on every seat.
Who Talkdesk is for
Talkdesk CX Cloud Elite combines Talkdesk's digital and voice plans, so it covers voice, email, chat and SMS, and adds quality management with screen recording and custom reporting. Talkdesk also sells Autopilot, a virtual agent for voice and digital channels.
Talkdesk's own pages differ on what Elite includes. Some list workforce management and outbound dialing in Elite, while its plan comparison lists them, along with social messaging, as add-ons, so confirm the package with Talkdesk. 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.
