Is AMDY a good Telnyx AMD alternative?

For dialers, yes. Telnyx Premium AMD lists at roughly $0.0065 per invocation and only runs when your traffic is on the Telnyx network. AMDY costs $0.00025 down to $0.00010 per detection — about 26 to 65 times cheaper — works on whatever carrier you already use, and adds honeypot detection plus 23 analytics reports that Telnyx AMD does not include.

Do I have to move my calls to Telnyx?

No. That is the point. Telnyx AMD is a feature of the Telnyx Voice API, so it only fires when calls run on Telnyx. AMDY is telco-agnostic — keep your carrier, your routes and your numbers, and run detection alongside them.

Does it work with Vicidial?

Yes. AMDY installs on a Vicidial server with one command in about five minutes, and it also works with Asterisk and FreeSWITCH.

Can I try it before switching?

Yes. The Sandbox plan is free — 50,000 detections per month, no credit card. Run it on your own traffic and compare the numbers and the per-detection cost in the dashboard.

What about honeypots and caller-ID reputation?

AMDY flags honeypot and spam-trap numbers before your dialer burns a caller ID on them, with reporting and alerts to protect your CID reputation. Telnyx Premium AMD returns a detection result and does not document honeypot detection.
