What we hear on intro calls
Three patterns from customers who moved from Cresta to Auralis.
"Cresta helped our agents. It didn't reduce ticket volume."
A 90-agent B2B support team had Cresta running and saw per-call quality gains - but ticket volume kept climbing. Auralis added the deflection layer on top. Result: ~60% deflection added · Cresta kept for live-call use
"We didn't have a contact center. We had a helpdesk."
A SaaS support leader scoped Cresta and realized the product was built for a different model - they had ticket-first, not call-first. Auralis was the right shape. Result: Live in 11 days · ticket-first model fit
"Enterprise pricing for 30 agents didn't work."
A consumer-app support team admired Cresta but the seat pricing was built for 200+ agent deployments. Auralis fit at their scale. Result: Mid-market price · ~55% deflection in repetitive categories
