Regal vs Five9
Deciding between Regal and Five9? Compare features, performance, and pricing.



Five9 and Regal are both CCaaS platforms that allow you to manage inbound and outbound interactions. They support agents/managers and integrate with 50+ other technology partners. But the architecture of each is vastly different.
Five9 is a legacy cloud based contact center software built over 20 years ago while Regal is a modern Omni-Agent (blended AI agents and human agent) CX platform. This architectural difference leads to massive differences in cost, implementation time, and usability, despite the fact that both platforms might seem similar at first.
WHY CHOOSE REGAL OVER FIVE9?
1. Using customer data to perfect each interaction
Five9 mostly relies on CRMs to populate interactions with customer data. Since Five9 sees customer data as supplemental to the customer experience, they don’t fully leverage how valuable it can be. The result is inconsistent and mediocre experiences that customers can no longer stomach.
Most companies can either provide great service to a few or mediocre service to many. Through customer data, Regal is the only platform that empowers CX leaders to treat every customer like royalty.
2. Easy A/B testing to drive a culture of continuous improvement
Five9 doesn’t have the ability to test and validate ideas. Contact center leaders with Five9 don’t have an easy way to test their great ideas. As a result, their contact centers fall back to traditional strategies with diminishing returns.
So the next time you have a bright idea, it doesn’t have to stay an idea. Test, validate, and continuously improve your CX with Regal.
3. The best autonomous AI Agents
Five9’s AI Agents can take up to 6 months to stand up, and often have worse sound quality and latency than Regal’s. Since Five9 also doesn’t have the same data and testing capabilities as Regal, their AI Agents are much tougher to improve and iterate upon.
In 10 years, 90% of all CX interactions will be done with AI. If you’re looking to get ahead of the curve and begin rolling AI out to the rest of your contact center, do it with an AI Agent that speaks and learns like your best human agent.

THE PREFERRED PLATFORM FOR IT TEAMS
As a newer platform built on modern event-driven technology and a schemaless data model, most IT teams prefer working with Regal over Five9. A common Five9 integration cycle can take anywhere from 4-8 weeks, with many integrations taking months to complete. The average Regal implementation takes half of that time, thanks to our:
- Native integrations with modern CDPs and CRMs
- Schemaless data model that simplifies integration work
- 99.99% uptime
- Low-code/no-code tools to set up automation flows and take work off the developer’s desk
- World-class implementation teams that walk every customer through our process
