What does an AI receptionist cost to run?

Do this

1. 1

   Call minutes

   The biggest moving part. You pay for minutes on the line, not for the number of calls, so long calls cost more than short ones.

2. 2

   The phone line

   A number or call forwarding, usually a small monthly charge plus a per-minute rate.

3. 3

   The voice

   Voice platforms charge by the minute, and more natural voices tend to cost more per minute. Their own pricing pages list the rates.

4. 4

   Connections

   Booking into your calendar, logging calls in your customer list, texting summaries. Each connection is setup work once, and some tools add a monthly seat.

5. 5

   Setup

   Writing the answers, the handoff rules and the testing. A one-time cost, larger when there are many call types.

6. 6

   Upkeep

   Someone listens to calls and fixes answers, an hour or two a week at first, less once it settles.
