How Much Does an AI Receptionist Cost?
AI receptionist pricing varies. Here's what to expect and how to compare value.
Typical price ranges
Most AI receptionist plans in Canada fall between $59–$179 CAD per month. Entry-level plans often include basic answering and SMS follow-up. Higher tiers may add script personalization, multiple numbers, or priority support.
Flat rate vs per-minute
Flat-rate plans are easier to budget. You pay one price for unlimited minutes and follow-ups. Per-minute pricing can surprise you during busy months. Prefer flat rate when possible.
What's usually included
Look for: 24/7 answering, missed-call SMS, booking link in follow-ups, and your own number (or forwarding). Some plans charge extra for add-on lines or custom scripts.
Trial and guarantee
Many providers offer a free trial. A money-back or satisfaction guarantee (e.g. refund if you don't get one client) reduces risk when you're evaluating.
