What determines your monthly price

Every business gets one flat monthly rate between $500 and $1,000. Three things decide where you land:

01

Call volume

How many calls the receptionist handles each month. Lower volume sits near $500; heavy, consistent volume sits near $1,000.

02

Integrations

Which tools it connects to — calendar, CRM, texting, multiple phone lines. More connections mean more setup and upkeep.

03

Locations & scope

One location and one service area is simplest. Multiple locations, service areas, or call types add to the build.

On your demo call we'll ask about these three things and give you an exact monthly number — no guesswork, no "contact sales" runaround.

How it compares

The monthly fee only looks like a cost until you put it next to the alternatives.

In-house wage per the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (~$38,010 median, before taxes and benefits). Answering-service pricing from current industry ranges.

The number that matters is cost per booked job. If your average customer is worth a few hundred dollars and the receptionist books even a couple of extra appointments a month that would otherwise have hit voicemail, it has already paid for itself.

Pricing questions

How much does it cost?
$500–$1,000 per month plus a one-time $1,500 setup fee. Where you land in the monthly range depends on your call volume, integrations, and number of locations.
What does the $1,500 setup fee cover?
Building and training your AI receptionist on your services, service area, hours, and pricing rules; connecting it to your phone number, calendar, and CRM; and testing it live before it takes a single real call.
What moves me within the $500–$1,000 range?
Three things: monthly call volume, how many integrations you need, and the number of locations or service areas the receptionist has to know. Lower volume and a single location sit near $500; higher volume and multiple integrations sit near $1,000.
Is it a one-time fee or a subscription?
Both. A one-time $1,500 setup to build and launch it, then a flat monthly managed fee of $500–$1,000 that covers running, monitoring, and maintaining the receptionist as your business changes.
Are there per-minute or overage charges?
No. Your monthly price is flat. Unlike a live answering service that bills by the minute or the call, you won't get a surprise bill after a busy month.
How does it compare to hiring someone?
A single in-house receptionist runs a median wage of about $38,010 a year (roughly $54,000 loaded with taxes and benefits) for 40 hours a week. The AI answers 24/7, handles unlimited simultaneous calls, and costs a fraction of that.
