Pricing
How much does an AI receptionist cost?
Short answer: a one-time setup fee plus a monthly rate based on your call volume — still far less than a full-time receptionist. Here's what drives the price, and how it compares to the alternatives.
An AI receptionist typically costs a one-time setup fee plus a monthly rate based on your call volume — still a fraction of the $2,900–$4,100/month of a full-time receptionist. Because every setup is custom-built for your business, we show you a free working demo first, then give you a custom quote after a quick assessment of your business.
What drives the cost
Pricing depends on your call volume, the number of things you want it to handle (just answering vs. booking, follow-up, and more), and the integrations you need. For most local businesses it lands well below the cost of even a part-time hire.
What's included
A custom-built, 24/7 AI receptionist trained on your business, appointment booking, instant lead texts to you, call transcripts and summaries, setup and connection to your tools, and ongoing support.
