The PolyAI alternative
without the enterprise contract.
PolyAI is built for enterprise contact centers with custom contracts and managed rollouts. Frontdesk gives SMB and mid-market the same AI voice on start for free, live in 30 minutes.
Why teams look beyond PolyAI.
PolyAI does enterprise voice well: custom-designed assistants, deep contact-center integrations, and a professional-services team to deploy them. For a large enterprise, that model makes sense.
For everyone smaller, it is overkill. Annual contracts, custom pricing, and multi-week implementations price out SMB and mid-market teams that just need calls answered and logged.
Frontdesk delivers the same outcome without the enterprise overhead. Start for free, self-serve setup in 30 minutes, CRM and outbound included.
