AI receptionist pricing, compared
What 21 AI receptionist services charge, side by side, taken from each company's own pricing page and last checked 2026-10-14. Of the 15 that publish a paid starting price, the lowest is AI-Receptionist.com ($14/mo to start).
How AI receptionists charge
- Flat monthly plan with a minute allowance. You get a set number of call minutes each month. Going over usually costs a per-minute fee. This is the most common model.
- Pay per minute. Developer platforms (like Bland or Retell) bill by the minute and you build the agent yourself. They're cheap per minute, but someone has to set them up.
- Quote only. Some services, often the ones aimed at larger HVAC or plumbing companies, don't publish prices. You have to talk to sales.
To compare fairly, estimate your monthly call minutes (calls per month × average call length) and check which plan covers that without overage fees.
