Quick Answer
My AI Front Desk is a self-serve AI receptionist from $99 a month for 200 minutes, then $0.25 a minute, bundled with chat, texting and a CRM. At around 500 calls a month that's about $414. Cheaper per-call options are Upfirst and Goodcall; Sockly is the set-up-for-you option at $997 for up to 500 calls.
My AI Front Desk's pricing page sells a broad bundle: voice answering, website chat, texting, a CRM and automations, with outbound calls capped at 20 a day. You build and run the agent yourself. Because it bills by the minute, the bill grows with how long your calls run.
Where My AI Front Desk wins
Breadth for the price. If you want chat, texting and a simple CRM in the same tool as phone answering and you're happy to configure it, $99 a month is a low place to start.
When an alternative fits better
The usual reasons to look elsewhere:
- Long calls: per-minute billing adds up. Upfirst bills per call ($299 for 600) and Goodcall per unique caller ($129 for 500).
- No time to build it: Sockly sets the agent up around your services and booking rules and goes live this week, $997 for up to 500 calls, $0 setup.
- You need live people too: Smith.ai and Abby Connect mix AI with human receptionists.
