Estimates use each vendor's published plans as of 2026-10-30. Each bill is the full monthly cost to get call answering running, including any plan, seat or phone number the vendor requires first (for example, Jobber's Core plan). Taxes, one-time fees and optional extras aren't included; each vendor page lists them. For Goodcall we assume 1.5 calls per unique customer, Goodcall's own ratio.

Common questions
How much does an AI receptionist cost per month?
It depends on your call volume and how the vendor bills. At our example of 200 calls a month, 3 minutes each Unverified, the 14 vendors with a published price for that usage range from $105.33 to $898.50 a month, including any plan, seat or phone number they require. Put a month from your phone log into the calculator above for your own number.
Do AI receptionists charge per minute or per call?
Both, and some use other units. Among the vendors we track, some bill by minutes of talk time, some by answered call, some by unique customer, and some charge a flat monthly price. That is why the cheapest vendor changes with your call volume and call length. Each vendor's overage terms are compared side by side.
Is there a free AI receptionist?
11 of the 19 vendors we track list a free trial or a free plan on their pricing page (read 2026-10-30). Free plans cover a set number of calls and then charge per call. See AI receptionists with a free trial or free plan.
