Comparing EvaluAgent and Genesys Cloud CX? Both are Contact Center & CCaaS and Voice & Phone AI tools in the directory, which is why buyers put them on the same shortlist. Below is a side-by-side look at how they price, what they integrate with, and when each is the better fit, so you can pick on the facts rather than either vendor's own sales page.

EvaluAgent is quality assurance and performance improvement software for contact centers. Its AutoQM engine automatically scores every conversation across voice, email, and chat instead of the tiny samples manual QA allows, with voice transcription built in, custom scorecards, and coaching workflows that route findings back to agents. A conversation intelligence tier adds intent detection, summarization, sentiment analytics, and predictive metrics, and a newer product line applies the same independent quality scoring to AI agents, priced per conversation rather than per seat.
The company was founded in 2012 in Middlesbrough in the north of England by Jaime Scott, Alex Richards, and Michelle Dinsmore, and built steadily for a decade before taking outside growth capital: a $20 million round in June 2023 from PeakSpan Capital, covered by TechCrunch as a bet that evaluating agents, human or otherwise, becomes more important as automation spreads. It remains one of the more prominent UK-grown players in the QA space.
Pricing is refreshingly public for this category. AutoQM starts at $35 per user per month, the AutoQM plus Conversation Intelligence bundle starts at $65 per user per month, and QA for AI agents starts at $0.05 per conversation, or $0.13 with conversation intelligence included. Volume discounts apply, AI agent pricing sits on top of a seat tier, and larger deployments still end in a custom quote, but you can budget from the website, which few competitors allow.
Choose EvaluAgent if you run a voice-heavy or omnichannel contact center, want QA plus coaching in one system, and appreciate a vendor that publishes numbers. It is a strong fit for UK and European operations and for teams starting to QA their chatbots. Look elsewhere if you want a free tier for a tiny team, or if you need the massive integration catalog and warehouse tooling of a MaestroQA.

Genesys Cloud CX is a cloud contact center platform that runs the whole support operation in one place: inbound and outbound voice, chat, email, SMS and social messaging, skills-based routing, IVR, workforce engagement management, and analytics. Its AI layer, Genesys Cloud AI, spans Agent Copilot for real-time agent assistance, Virtual Agent for voice and digital self-service, and AI Studio for building and governing agentic AI. In September 2025 Genesys shipped semi-autonomous Copilots and Virtual Agents with native A2A and MCP interoperability, and in February 2026 it announced an Agentic Virtual Agent built on large action models for end-to-end resolution.
The company has one of the longest stories in the business. Gregory Shenkman and Alec Miloslavsky founded Genesys in 1990 on $150,000 in family loans, took it public in 1997, and sold to Alcatel in 1999 for $1.5 billion. Permira and TCV carved it back out of Alcatel-Lucent in 2012, Hellman & Friedman invested in 2016, and that December's Interactive Intelligence acquisition brought the technology behind Genesys Cloud. A December 2021 round led by Salesforce Ventures, with ServiceNow Ventures and Zoom participating, valued it at $21 billion, and it confidentially filed for an IPO in October 2024. Customers include Virgin Atlantic, Visa, HSBC, and Yale New Haven Health.
Pricing is unusually public for the enterprise tier. Genesys Cloud CX 1 starts at $75 per user per month billed annually, CX 2 at $115, CX 3 at $155, and the AI-heavy CX 4 at $240, with digital-only, concurrent, and hourly options available. AI is metered separately through AI Experience tokens: every package includes a monthly allowance, Agent Copilot comes bundled in CX 4, and usage beyond the allowance is pay-per-use, so real AI costs depend on volume.
Choose Genesys if you run a serious contact center: hundreds of agents, heavy voice traffic, compliance needs, and AI woven into routing and workforce management. Small teams wanting a shared inbox and a chatbot will find simpler helpdesk tools faster to deploy.
