- +Native connectors for Kipu, KipuCRM, Sunwave, Lightning Step
- +free trial + public Pro $2,000/mo pricing

- −Not a fit outside behavioral health
PRICING · Trial · $2,000/mo Pro · Custom Enterprise

#6
Banyan AI Suite
Multi-facility operator's internal AI
Several large multi-facility operators (including Banyan Treatment Centers) have reportedly built internal AI tooling for their own admit lines. Specific feature claims are not publicly documented; included here as a reference point for operators considering build-vs-buy rather than as a directly comparable product.
What it does well
- +Built by operators for operators
- +Tailored to a real multi-state treatment-center workflow
Where it falls short
- −Not externally available
- −Build-vs-buy cost ratio strongly favors buy for most operators
PRICING · Internal · not available externally
BEST FOR · Reference point for buy-vs-build decisions
Post-call analytics platform for behavioral health — measures fidelity, motivational interviewing, and clinical quality on recorded calls. Adjacent to admissions; complements rather than replaces DIAL3D Agent Assist.
What it does well
- +Behavioral health-purpose-built analytics
- +Strong clinical-quality measurement framework
Where it falls short
- −Post-call only, not in-the-moment coaching
- −Not an admit-line voice or chat agent
PRICING · Contact sales
BEST FOR · Clinical-quality QA for BH organizations
#8
Traditional call center / BPO
Outsourced human admit-line answering
Outsourced human-staffed admit-line services. Established model — pay a BPO per agent-hour to answer your overflow and after-hours calls. Cost economics favor AI for most multi-facility operators above a threshold of monthly call volume.
What it does well
- +Human-staffed, no AI quality concerns
- +Established procurement model
Where it falls short
- −Per-agent-hour cost ($2-4/min typical) vs DIAL3D's $0.44/min
- −No real-time CRM handoff or VOB during call
- −Quality varies by BPO and shift
PRICING · $2-4/min typical
BEST FOR · Operators preferring fully human-staffed model regardless of cost
