One-time setup
Covers building and training your receptionist on your services, connecting your number, calendar, and CRM, and testing it live before it takes a single real call.
Hear it first
Riley is our live demo, set up for a roofing company. Call and ask about a roof repair, then hear it book an appointment. Yours is trained on your own business.
What determines your monthly price
Every business gets one flat monthly rate between $500 and $1,000. Three things decide where you land:
Call volume
How many calls the receptionist handles each month. Lower volume sits near $500; heavy, consistent volume sits near $1,000.
Integrations
Which tools it connects to — calendar, CRM, texting, multiple phone lines. More connections mean more setup and upkeep.
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 hire | Live answering service | AI receptionist | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Typical cost | ~$54k/yr fully loaded | $175–$700/mo, or ~$1.75–$5.40/min | $500–$1,000/mo + $1,500 setup |
| Hours covered | ~40/week | Varies; 24/7 at a premium | 24/7, included |
| Books appointments | Yes | Sometimes | Yes, on the call |
| Handles call spikes | No — one at a time | Limited | Unlimited, in parallel |
| Follows up by email | Rarely | No | Yes, included |
| Who runs it | You manage the staff | You write the scripts | Built & managed for you |
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.
