The Google Voice alternative
built for businesses.
Google Voice gives you a number. Frontdesk gives you a number an AI receptionist answers, plus texting and a CRM that fills itself in. Start for free.
Why businesses outgrow Google Voice.
Google Voice is a solid free tool for a personal second number. It forwards calls, handles basic texts, and transcribes voicemail.
It was never built to answer a business. There is no AI receptionist, no CRM, limited support, and your number is tied to a personal Google account. Growing teams hit those walls fast.
Frontdesk is the business version of that idea. A real number, an AI that answers and books, SMS, and a CRM, all at no cost to start, live in 30 minutes.
Everything a great Google Voice Alternative does. At 1/10th the cost.
An AI that answers
Businesses get a business line where an AI receptionist picks up, qualifies, and books, instead of routing to voicemail.
Calls, texts, and email
One number for voice and SMS, with email handled in the same inbox.
Real support
A managed setup with a team behind it, not a self-serve consumer product.
No Google account lock-in
Your number and data are yours, portable, and not tied to a personal Google login.
CRM built in
Every conversation is transcribed, summarized, and saved to a contact automatically.
