When fonio.ai is right
Brand-recognition first, compliance later
If you need brand-recognition first and compliance later, fonio is faster. Their growth (4K customers, 800K calls/month, OMR #1) is the strongest DACH voice AI brand right now. For non-regulated verticals or buyers chasing volume who don’t treat Article 50 as binding, fonio’s mature distribution outperforms our white-glove intake.
When Audact is right
Article 50 + DORA + MiCA day-one, with patents
If you need Article 50 + DORA + MiCA day-one with a patent-pending evidence chain, Audact starts compliant. Our customer base will be DACH-vertical agencies who must defend Article 50 compliance now that it has been in force since 2 August 2026, with end-clients in dental, legal, healthcare or financial-services where audit-ready evidence is a procurement gate.
