# Voltade vs Webpuppies: two different kinds of agency.

> Voltade vs Webpuppies: a Singapore AI company against a web and marketing agency. Compare what each one builds, local integrations, and PSG support.

Both are Singapore digital companies, and they build different things. Webpuppies builds websites, apps and digital marketing. Voltade builds the AI that runs inside your operations, from Volty at S$199 a month to a custom agent at S$4,600 a year. Comparing them is really a question of which job you are hiring for.

## What you're really deciding.

Webpuppies is a digital agency, building websites, apps, e-commerce and digital marketing. Voltade is an AI company. Voltade builds Volty at S$199 a month and custom AI agents from S$4,600 a year, integrated into the Singapore systems you already run on. Up to 50% PSG support brings a Singapore SME's first year on the custom track to S$2,300. This is a company comparison rather than a product one. If you need a website, talk to Webpuppies. If your bottleneck is the work that arrives through it, talk to Voltade.

## Where Voltade is different.

### AI that works inside the business, not on the website

Webpuppies builds your online presence. Voltade builds the AI that handles what comes through it: enquiries, quotations, order capture, scheduling, data entry. Different problem, different vendor.

### Agents trained on your business, not templates

Voltade's custom AI agents are trained on your SOPs, your products and your edge cases, so they do work rather than display it. A website looks right on day one and still leaves your team answering every message by hand.

### One vendor for the CRM and the AI

Voltade's AI CRM carries the pipeline, the orders, the WhatsApp inbox and the AI conversations in one place. With a web agency you would buy and integrate a CRM separately.

### Integrations into the systems Singapore SMEs actually run

Plato for clinics, WESS for salons, ECDA reporting for childcare. Voltade connects AI to those. A web agency connects a website to standard CMS and e-commerce tools.

## The honest take.

Choose the alternative when

If you need a new website, a mobile app, an e-commerce store or a digital marketing campaign, Webpuppies is a solid Singapore agency with a strong portfolio. Voltade does not build websites and does not run marketing.

Choose Voltade when

If you already have a website and the bottleneck is operations, handling enquiries, processing orders, managing appointments and entering data, that is the work Voltade's AI is built for.

Bottom line

This is not a head-to-head comparison, and treating it as one would be dishonest. Webpuppies builds your digital presence. Voltade builds the AI that automates the work arriving through it. Plenty of businesses need both, and they are two separate purchases.
