I don't work at Plivo, but I have a lot of respect for those guys because of their open-source roots. I might bicker with them here or there online, but I only do out of admiration.
Plivo is an XML ---> infrastructure play. Their bait is to developers to come in and use their Twilio-ish code and then realize that what's under the hood is pretty badass and build bigger apps.
From what I can tell, Profig is a hosted VoIP play with black box infrastructure. I'd love to know what's under the hood, but I don't see any infos. They're more like a RingCentral or a Packet8 than a Twilio.
Does that help? I think Plivo is a lot more innovative than Profig, but I've learned not to judge startups by their first forays into the wild. I'm interested to see where they'll go from here.

Looks like from the comment below me that Profig runs on Plivo.
