The short version

  • Each has a real cost: MyOperator plans bundle ten users at a fixed price, so a team of three or four pays for ten and the effective per-user cost is two or three times the headline 500 rupees.; Telesign risk scoring is probabilistic, so tuning thresholds trades fraud caught against genuine users blocked, and somebody has to own that trade-off continuously.
  • They diverge on capability: MyOperator covers IVR and call routing, Telesign covers Phone number verification.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

MyOperator

  • Plans bundle ten users at a fixed price, so a team of three or four pays for ten and the effective per-user cost is two or three times the headline 500 rupees.
  • Truecaller Business verification, which is what actually raises answer rates for Indian outbound calling, starts at 30,000 rupees a month, six times the entry plan price, and is not included at any tier.
  • CRM integrations and API access only appear on the SUV plan at 15,000 rupees a month, so a small business that needs call data in its CRM must pay triple the entry price.
  • Plans are billed yearly, so the advertised monthly figure is an annual commitment in practice and there is no cheap monthly path to trial the product in production.
  • It is an India-focused product with rupee pricing, Indian numbering and India-based support, which makes it unsuitable for businesses whose calling volume sits outside India.

Telesign

  • Risk scoring is probabilistic, so tuning thresholds trades fraud caught against genuine users blocked, and somebody has to own that trade-off continuously.
  • No voice pricing is published at all: every one of the 233 destinations in its public rate card lists voice as quote only, so voice cost cannot be modelled in advance.
  • It is a verification and risk product, so a business that also needs general purpose messaging will run a second vendor for that traffic.
  • Number intelligence quality varies by country because it depends on operator data availability, and coverage in some markets is thinner than the global claim implies.
  • The underlying carrier assets belong to its sibling companies rather than to Telesign, so network questions route back to a parent whose principal business is not developer APIs.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

MyOperator: How is MyOperator priced?

By plan, not by agent. Sedan is 5,000 rupees a month billed yearly including ten users; SUV is 15,000 rupees a month, also for ten users.

Telesign: Who owns Telesign?

Proximus, the Belgian telecommunications operator. It acquired Telesign in 2017 through its subsidiary BICS and has owned it outright since February 2021. Telesign now sits in Proximus Global alongside BICS and Route Mobile.

MyOperator: What does WhatsApp messaging cost?

It is passed through at Meta rates, roughly 0.95 rupees per marketing conversation and 0.13 rupees for utility and authentication, on top of the plan.

Telesign: Did Telesign go public?

No. A merger with the North Atlantic Acquisition Corporation special purpose vehicle was announced in December 2021 at around 1.3 billion dollars and terminated on 1 July 2022, so it remained within Proximus.

MyOperator: Do I need the SUV plan?

If you want CRM integration, API access, whisper and barge or real-time dashboards, yes. Sedan covers IVR, routing, recording and basic reporting only.

Telesign: Is Telesign a cheaper way to send one-time passcodes?

No, and that is not its purpose. It routes for verification completion and adds a risk judgement about the number. If you only need cheap message delivery, compare rate card vendors instead.

MyOperator: Is there a refund if it does not work out?

MyOperator advertises a 30-day full refund policy, which is unusual for an annually billed Indian telephony product.
