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–$149 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.
