Pricing, straight

How much does an AI receptionist cost? The honest answer.

It's quoted custom, and we'll tell you exactly why below. What we won't do is publish a number that's wrong for most of the businesses that read it. Here's what sets the price, what's free, the one price we do publish, and how to get a real figure for your shop.


The short version

There's no sticker price, and that's on purpose.

Every page that promises one flat figure for an AI receptionist is either guessing or hiding the climb. The honest answer to how much an AI receptionist costs is that it depends on your business — and the variables aren't decoration, they're the whole calculation. A one-zip roofer taking a handful of calls a day is not the same job as a four-location med-spa group fielding consultations across a metro. Charge them the same and one of them is overpaying for the other.

So we quote it custom, on a free 30-minute discovery call, after a free audit of where your leads are actually leaking. You walk away with a real number for your shop — not a "starting at" that changes the moment you ask a question. If you want the full picture of what the receptionist does before talking price, the AI receptionist page lays it out.


What sets the price

Four things move the number — and they're different for everyone.

Call volume

A shop fielding a dozen calls a day and one fielding hundreds are different builds. Volume drives how the receptionist is provisioned and what it's expected to handle.

Services and pricing

It's trained on your actual services, your quoting logic, and your price points. Three offerings is a quick build; a deep menu with conditional pricing is more.

Service area

One ZIP code is simple. A metro spread across multiple locations and calendars means more routing, more scheduling rules, more to wire up.

Your stack

Wiring into Housecall Pro, Jobber, ServiceTitan, GoHighLevel, Salesforce, or a custom system shapes the work. We connect to what you run instead of forcing a switch.

Hours and overflow

After-hours, weekends, and catching the second call when two ring at once all factor in. The more you want covered, the more there is to set up.

The rest of the system

Most owners pair the receptionist with a conversion site and ads. How much of the front office you install together affects the whole quote.


No catch

What's free, and the one price we actually publish.

Before anyone quotes you anything, the diagnosis is on us — and the report is yours regardless of whether you hire us.

  • The audit is free, with no obligation — it runs over 3–5 business days and examines five leaks: missed calls, your website's conversion, ad waste, speed-to-lead, and a reactivation pool of dead leads from the last 12 months
  • The 30-minute discovery call is free, and the written report plus a recorded walkthrough are yours to keep either way
  • The one public price: the conversion website is a one-time $1,750 and includes six months of uptime — after that, hosting only
  • The AI receptionist and ad management are quoted custom on the discovery call, after the audit shows what your business actually needs

Why it pays for itself before it costs anything

The industry benchmark for responding to a new lead is under five minutes. Most local businesses answer in hours. That gap is the leak — and the audit shows you yours for free.

The point of pricing the receptionist to your business isn't to make it expensive. It's to make it honest. When you can see exactly how many calls slip to voicemail while the crew is on a roof, the cost question stops being abstract. You're not buying software — you're plugging a hole you can measure. An answering service versus an AI receptionist is a useful comparison if you're weighing the alternatives.


Where we draw the line

What we won't do on pricing.

  • No bait-and-switch "starting at" that quietly climbs once you're on a call
  • No fake discounts, no countdown timers, no "this price ends Friday" pressure
  • No promised ROI multiples or revenue guarantees — anyone selling those is guessing on your behalf
  • No ranking guarantees and no invented stats about how many calls you're losing — the audit measures yours instead of quoting someone else's
  • No long-term lock-in: it's month-to-month after install, you own everything built, and you cancel any time with no exit fees

There is one thing we'll stand behind in writing: a 90-day guarantee. If the system isn't producing measurable booked-job growth in 90 days, we refund the install fee and keep working. That's a guarantee on our work, not a fantasy multiple on your revenue.

Straight answers

The pricing questions owners ask.

How much does an AI receptionist cost?

It's quoted custom, based on your call volume, the services it's trained on, and the size of your service area. A one-zip owner-operator and a four-location group are not the same job, so a single public sticker would be wrong for most businesses that read it. The audit and discovery call are free, and you get a real number on that call.

Why won't you just publish a flat price?

Because the inputs that set the price differ business to business — call volume, how many services and price points it's trained on, your hours, and your service area. A public number forces everyone into one wrong figure, or it's a low "starting at" that climbs once you talk. We'd rather quote the real thing on the call.

What costs money up front, and what's free?

The audit and the 30-minute discovery call are free with no obligation, and the written report and recorded walkthrough are yours to keep either way. The one public price is the conversion website: a one-time $1,750 that includes six months of uptime. The receptionist and ad management are quoted custom on the call.

Am I locked into a contract?

No. The receptionist is month-to-month after install. You own everything we build — the site, ad creative, the receptionist's training, your customer data, and your call recordings. Cancel any time with no exit fees.

Do you guarantee a return on what I spend?

We don't sell ROI multiples or ranking guarantees. We do offer a 90-day guarantee: if the system isn't producing measurable booked-job growth in 90 days, we refund the install fee and keep working.
