About these defaults

**85,000 recorded calls/month.** We estimate 100 agents × 20 workdays × 5 hours of recorded calls per day ÷ 7.05 minutes per call, rounded. Workdays and hours are planning assumptions. The call length comes from the 423-second U.S. service-call average in [ContactBabel’s 2025 report](https://dev.contactbabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/The-US-Contact-Center-Decision-Makers-Guide.pdf#page=34).

**2% human review.** [Research with ContactBabel](https://www.evaluagent.com/knowledge-hub/100-percent-analytics-contact-center/) reports a 2% U.S. quality-review sample across channels. We use it as a starting point for recorded calls.

**$31/hour including benefits.** This is an estimate using the [$21.53 U.S. customer-service median wage](https://www.bls.gov/ooh/office-and-administrative-support/customer-service-representatives.htm) and the roughly 70% wage share of [private-sector compensation](https://www.bls.gov/regions/southwest/news-release/2026/employercostsforemployeecompensation_regions_20260909.htm), rounded. Use your reviewer’s actual cost; this is a wage proxy, not a QA analyst salary survey.

**10 minutes manually; 5 with software.** These are planning assumptions, not measured Call1 results. Added operating costs start at $0 for existing hardware; enter any extra running costs. Benchmarks checked October 9, 2026.

Call1 + Industry Advantage vs manual review

### Lower monthly QA costs.

Call1 + Industry Advantage: $4,491.67. Manual review: $8,783.33. Both include human-review labor. Call1 also includes the $100 model subscription and your entered operating costs.

**$4,291.67** less per month

### Calls reviewed each month

Based on 85,000 recorded calls per month.

#### Manual review

**1,700**

calls reviewed by people · 2% sample

#### Call1 · both options

**85,000**

automatically reviewed calls · 100% target

Your team still checks 1,700 of those calls.

Call1 aims to review every call. Your hardware needs enough time to process them, and people still need to check its findings. Ask the other vendor what coverage its quote includes.

Beyond the cost saving

### Why review every call?

Coverage calculation

**50×**

#### as many calls in scope

A 100% automated pass covers 50 times the calls in a 2% human sample.

100% ÷ 2% sample; coverage, not accuracy

Coverage calculation

**98%**

#### of calls outside your human sample

With a 2% sample, 98% of recorded calls receive no human QA review. A full automated pass brings them into scope.

100% − 2% human sample

Independent research

**100%**

#### recommended QA coverage

Independent research recommends evaluating every interaction to guide coaching and recognition.

[ContactBabel · AI for Workforce Engagement ↗](https://www.contactbabel.com/ai-for-workforce-engagement/)

Broader review gives your team more evidence for coaching and process fixes. These figures describe coverage and research recommendations, rather than measured Call1 results. Coverage still depends on processing capacity and useful findings.
