How much does an AI receptionist cost?
Updated
Most AI receptionists cost $25 to $300 a month, but that price usually covers a small allowance: 25 to 250 minutes or calls on entry plans, then $0.25 to $0.85 a minute or $0.70 to $3 a call beyond it. A live answering service runs about $165 to $2,100 a month, and a full-time receptionist earns a median $38,010 a year before payroll costs. Count your calls before comparing plans.
