Decision conditions
Parloa describes itself as “Born in the EU” and shows many compliance badges; the “EU AI Act” badge is the provider’s statement about a law, not a certificate — ask what it covers.
The homepage displays ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, PCI DSS, DORA and EU AI Act badges. Confirm applicable certificates and reports; HIPAA, DORA and the AI Act are laws.
Trust centre names Google, Twilio, Datadog, MongoDB, Microsoft (no locations/LLM roles); hosting with 'Major Cloud Provider'; models not named: Parloa 'does not commit to using any specific AI models'; BYOLLM supported.
Enterprise/custom: consumption-based (per minute voice, per interaction chat), volume package commitment, outcome-based pricing possible; no standard plans or published prices.

You get the facts that matter for your decision, each with its source, the questions to ask each vendor and a cost estimate based on your own numbers. First you agree your three most important criteria with Sten Franke.
We deliver your brief by email within a maximum of five working days after payment is confirmed and we have agreed the question and minimum information needed to begin. ETHORITY confirms the start date and delivery date and delivers earlier when the reviewed brief is ready. Missing optional information is recorded and assessed; it does not require you to research the solution yourself. Review before delivery and email support are included.
