The Parloa alternative
built for SMB.
Parloa is strong at large-enterprise contact-center scale. SMB and mid-market teams need flat pricing and same-day setup. Frontdesk is the AI front desk across phone, SMS, email, and chat.
Why teams look beyond Parloa.
Parloa built an enterprise-grade conversational AI platform with deep contact-center automation and a strong track record at large global enterprises. For Fortune-scale contact-center transformation, it delivers.
For SMB and mid-market, the math is different. Custom enterprise pricing is hard to budget, and multi-week implementation cycles slow time to value. Smaller teams want a working front desk this week, not a procurement project.
Frontdesk fits SMB and mid-market with start for free pricing, 30-minute setup, a unified phone, SMS, email, and chat front desk, and native CRM sync to HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, and Zoho.
