How much an AI receptionist costs

AI agent cost compared with an answering service

An answering service also bills by the minute or by the call, but it takes a message. The AI agent finishes the job on the call: it answers the question, books the appointment and writes the result to your CRM. Nobody has to call back.

What setup includes

Setup is paid once and covers everything needed to launch.

  • Connecting your phone system and CRM
  • A script built for your sale
  • A pilot on part of your leads with a call-by-call review
  • Operator console: campaigns, conversations, recordings and summaries
