Interactio vs Voco

Built for weekly use, not one-off events

Interactio is designed around event-based bookings. Voco is designed for a recurring weekly service — it's always available, always the same setup, with weekly billing you can pause. Most churches don't run like a conference.

No interpreter needed — or interpreter budget

Professional RSI interpreters typically cost hundreds of dollars per hour, per language pair, per interpreter. For a church running 52 Sundays a year, AI translation at £8–£15/week is the sustainable model. Interactio's costs are designed for organisations with institutional translation budgets.

Self-serve, 3-minute setup

Voco requires no onboarding team, no interpreter booking lead time, and no enterprise procurement. A volunteer can set it up on a Sunday morning in 3 minutes. That's the right fit for a church.

Transparent pricing

Voco publishes its prices openly. Interactio requires a sales call and custom quote — appropriate for enterprise but a barrier for most church treasurers.

Human-quality interpretation

Interactio connects professional RSI interpreters to your event in real time. For high-stakes multilingual assemblies where translation accuracy is critical and interpreters are already booked (as in denominational councils or UN-level events), human interpreters set the quality ceiling AI can't yet match.

Built for very large events

Interactio is designed for hundreds or thousands of simultaneous listeners across multiple languages, with interpreter management, booths, and relay interpretation support. If your event genuinely needs that infrastructure, Interactio is the right tool.

Professional interpreter marketplace

Interactio has a marketplace for booking professional interpreters if you don't have your own. For denominations hosting occasional large gatherings, that removes the complexity of sourcing interpreters independently.
