Comparison

Velocify (now part of ICE Mortgage Technology) charges $100-$200/user/month for base licensing. Enterprise packages with full dialer and automation features run $150-$200/user/month. A 25-person team costs $30,000-$60,000 annually in licensing alone, plus telephony and SMS costs at marked-up rates.
Yes. Using modern telephony APIs (Twilio, Bandwidth, Telnyx), custom systems can provide power dialing, predictive dialing, call recording, and local presence features. Telephony costs are typically 50-70% lower than Velocify's marked-up rates.
Custom systems can include TCPA compliance, state DNC checking, consent management, call recording with disclosures, and audit trails. We build compliance features specific to your states and products, often exceeding generic platform capabilities.
Velocify has native integration with Encompass (both are ICE products). Custom systems can integrate via Encompass API, often with more flexibility for custom field mapping and bidirectional sync. We've built many Encompass integrations for custom platforms.
For a 25-user team, custom development ($30,000-$70,000) pays back in 12-18 months through eliminated per-seat fees and lower telephony costs. Teams adding users see faster payback as custom systems have zero incremental licensing costs.
Absolutely. Most clients continue with Velocify during development, then run both systems in parallel during testing. This ensures zero impact on sales operations. Full transition typically happens over a 2-week period.
