Shabda costs less than ₹6 per minute in India and less than AED 0.50 per minute in the UAE, so you pay for calling time rather than a fixed salary. A telecaller costs salary, training, management and cover for leave and attrition, and can only make one call at a time. For most brokers, the sensible setup is to have Shabda handle first calls and qualification while your people handle the buyers who are ready.
How does Shabda's cost compare with hiring a human telecaller?
What you are actually paying for
With a telecaller, you pay for hours whether leads come in or not. With Shabda, cost follows usage: less than ₹6 per minute in India or less than AED 0.50 per minute in the UAE. Quiet weeks cost less, and busy campaign weeks don't need extra hiring.
The hidden cost is the leads you lose
Leads that wait hours for a callback, or never get a follow-up, are ad spend wasted. Shabda calls back within 60 seconds inside calling hours and follows up on WhatsApp, so more of the leads you paid for get a proper conversation.
Better ad spend from one shared lead context
Because calls, WhatsApp and visit bookings sit in one lead record, Shabda auto-optimises your Meta and Google Ads towards leads that actually qualify. That affects cost per site visit, not just cost per call.
Work out your own numbers
Multiply your monthly enquiries by the typical qualification call length and compare that with your current calling team cost, including the leads that go uncalled. That gives you a fair comparison for your own business.
