The "Per Minute" Trap

Traditional answering services charge you by the minute. They are incentivized to keep you on the phone longer. A simple "What are your hours?" question can cost you $2.50.

This calculator compares those legacy costs to the modern, flat-rate pricing of AI. The more calls you get, the more you save.

Quality Control at Scale

Answering services are often staffed by people who don't know your business. They take a message and that's it. They can't book appointments, they can't answer specific questions, and they often mispronounce your company name.

AI Knows Your Business

An AI Phone Receptionist is trained on your specific knowledge base. It knows your pet policy, your office hours, and your showing availability. It doesn't just take messages; it solves problems.
