AI receptionist pricing for trade businesses

AI receptionists start at $24.95 a month (Upfirst, 30 calls) and $29 (Dialzara, 60 minutes). For about 100 calls a month, Upfirst costs $69.95 (its 90-call plan plus 10 calls at $1) and Goodcall $79 (up to 100 different callers). A live human service costs more: Ruby charges $250 for 50 minutes. Jobber's own AI receptionist is a $29 add-on for Jobber customers.

Every plan, side by side

Month-to-month prices unless the row says annual. "Over the limit" is what the vendor charges once the plan's calls or minutes run out; a dash means the page doesn't say.

What 100 calls a month costs

Services that charge by the call, at 100 calls a month on the cheapest plan or plan-plus-overage that covers them:

  • Upfirst: $69.95. Premium ($59.95, 90 calls) plus 10 calls at $1.00. Upfirst says spam, calls under 15 seconds and silent calls aren't billed.
  • Goodcall: $79. Starter covers 100 "unique customers" a month, which Goodcall puts at about 150 calls, so 100 calls fits if they come from 100 or fewer callers.
  • Newo: $299. The AI Receptionist plan includes 200 units; Newo counts one voice session of 30 seconds to 3 minutes as a unit.

Services that charge by the minute, if calls average 3 minutes (300 minutes a month; that average is our assumption, not the vendors'):

  • My AI Front Desk: $124. $99 for 200 minutes plus 100 minutes at 25¢ ($104 on annual billing).
  • Dialzara: $135. Business Pro ($99, 220 minutes) plus 80 minutes at 45¢.
  • Rosie: $149. Scale covers 1,000 minutes. Professional ($49, 250 minutes) would need overage, and the page doesn't state the rate.
  • Ruby: $1,725. Live human receptionists, sold in minute blocks; 300 minutes needs the 500-minute plan, as the page lists no overage rate.

AI receptionists built into trade software

  • Jobber AI Receptionist: $29 a month on top of a Jobber plan. What Jobber says it does.
  • Housecall Pro CSR AI: listed as an add-on with no price on Housecall Pro's pricing page.
  • Quo and Allo are business phone systems priced per user (Quo from $15, Allo from $32 a month billed annually) with AI answering as an add-on: Quo's Sona answers 10 calls free, then packs from $25; Allo's AI Receptionist is $32 per agent billed annually.
