Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Native integrations with all major voice AI platforms (Retell, Vapi, Bland, Synthflow) eliminate custom connector work
  • MCP server enables test creation and result analysis directly from the IDE, reducing context switching for developers
  • Multi-dimensional evaluation scores hallucination rate, empathy, and tool call accuracy separately — not just binary pass/fail
  • Production monitoring and pre-production testing share the same platform, so regression tests build directly from real failure scenarios
  • SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, and GDPR compliance available on Enterprise for healthcare and regulated industries

Cons

  • Developer plan capped at 1 project and 10 concurrent calls — teams managing multiple agents or running high-volume test suites will hit limits quickly
  • Enterprise pricing is undisclosed, making budget planning harder for mid-market teams evaluating the upgrade
  • Platform is purpose-built for conversational AI; teams testing non-conversational LLM applications will find limited coverage outside voice and chat scenarios
  • No permanent free tier beyond the 7-day trial — solo developers and small teams must commit to $30/month after evaluation

Overview

Cekura is an end-to-end testing and observability platform built specifically for conversational AI — voice agents and chat agents that interact with real users at scale. It gives engineering and QA teams the tools to simulate realistic conversations before deployment and monitor every production interaction after launch.

Where generic testing tools treat AI agents like deterministic software, Cekura accounts for the non-deterministic nature of LLM-powered conversations. Teams can run thousands of pre-production simulations across diverse personas, accents, and edge-case scenarios, then evaluate results across dimensions like instruction-following accuracy, hallucination rate, empathy, and tool call correctness — all before a single real user is affected.

The platform serves healthcare technology companies, AI automation platforms, and high-volume contact center operations building on voice infrastructure providers like Vapi, Retell AI, Bland, Synthflow, and ElevenLabs. Cekura positions itself as the reliability layer that sits between your agent and production — ensuring every update ships with verified conversational quality.

Key Features

  • Pre-production simulation with diverse personas — Run thousands of parallel test calls using built-in persona profiles with varied accents, communication styles, and edge-case scenarios. Simulations execute concurrently, delivering actionable evaluation results in minutes rather than days.

  • Multi-dimensional LLM evaluations — Assess agent performance across empathy, responsiveness, hallucination detection, instruction-following, and tool call accuracy. Evaluation criteria are fully customizable to match specific workflow requirements, and the LLM-based judgment system supports trigger-based activation for targeted assessments.

  • Production observability and alerting — Monitor every live conversation in real time with detailed logs, trend analysis, and interactive analytics dashboards. Instant notifications fire for errors, failures, and performance drops so issues surface before they compound at scale.

  • Conversation replay and regression testing — Capture and replay real production conversations to reproduce specific failure scenarios. When an agent update ships, run replays against a library of known problem conversations to catch regressions before they reach users.

  • CI/CD pipeline integration — Embed Cekura's testing suite directly into deployment pipelines. Automated pre-deployment checks validate agent behavior against defined quality thresholds, blocking releases that would introduce regressions into production.

  • MCP server for AI-assisted development — Connect Claude Code, Cursor, or VS Code to Cekura via the Model Context Protocol with a single command. AI assistants can then create agents, run tests, and analyze results through natural language — generating full integration scaffolding without manual documentation research.

How to Get Started

Cekura offers a 7-day free trial with no credit card required. Setup takes minutes for teams already using supported voice platforms:

  1. Sign up — Create an account at cekura.ai to start the 7-day Developer trial, which includes 300 credits. No credit card is required.
  2. Connect your agent — Integrate via direct API (native connectors for Retell, Vapi, Bland, Synthflow, LiveKit, Pipecat, and ElevenLabs) or use the MCP server to connect from your IDE.
  3. Define test scenarios — Choose from Cekura's built-in scenario library or create custom scenarios reflecting your agent's specific workflows and edge cases.
  4. Run simulations — Execute parallel test calls across selected personas. Review evaluation results across all configured dimensions.
  5. Enable production monitoring — Activate observability to capture and analyze live conversations, set alert thresholds, and begin building a regression test library from real failures.

For MCP-based setup, run the connection command from Claude Code, Cursor, or VS Code — the AI assistant guides scaffolding through natural language without switching to a separate dashboard.

Integration Guide

Cekura connects natively to the major voice and chat AI infrastructure platforms:

Platform Integration Type
Retell AI Native API connector
Vapi Native API connector
Bland AI Native API connector
Synthflow Native API connector
LiveKit Native API connector
Pipecat Native API connector
