Who it suits, and who it does not

Buy it if

Teams needing sophisticated call control — conferencing, transfers, media manipulation.

Look elsewhere if

Lower-level than the agent platforms. More power, more code. Note the two layers do not share a price: transport is $0.0080 a minute outbound, while SignalWire's own AI agent runtime on top of it is $0.16 a minute — twenty times the carrier leg, and the page states an all-in of $0.163 to $0.168 for standard usage. The transport rate is not the price of running an agent here.
