What to check before you choose
- Work out the price per included voice minute. My AI Front Desk is 49.5¢ a minute billed monthly ($99 for 200) or 39.5¢ billed annually ($79 for 200). Rosie Professional is about 19.6¢ ($49 for 250), Rosie Scale about 14.9¢ ($149 for 1,000), Trillet about 32.7¢ ($49 for 150) and Dialzara Lite about 48.3¢ ($29 for 60). That only holds if you use every minute.
- Know how going over works. My AI Front Desk takes extra voice minutes from its 1,000-credit monthly pool at 25 credits ($0.25) a minute, which is about 40 minutes; unused pool credits expire each month, and auto-reload adds 1,000 credits for $10. Trillet charges $0.20 per extra minute and Dialzara $0.48 down to $0.35 depending on plan. Rosie's pricing page shows no per-minute overage rate.
- Count the extras you'd actually use. My AI Front Desk includes 100 chatbot conversations and 400 texts a month. Rosie's website chat widget is free on every plan and its website texting add-on is $50/mo for 25 conversations ($1 each after that). Dialzara's website chatbot is free with its voice plans for 100 sessions a month ($0.15 per extra session), and its AI SMS agent is $19/mo plus $0.05 per AI message.
- Spanish callers: Rosie answers in English and Spanish on every plan, and Dialzara offers bilingual English and Spanish from its $99 Business Pro plan. My AI Front Desk lists 20+ languages.
- Long calls and repeat callers favor Goodcall and Smith.ai, since neither meters minutes. Goodcall counts one phone number once a month however often it calls back; Smith.ai Pro works out to $2.00 a call ($150 for 75).
- Try before you commit: My AI Front Desk, Rosie and Dialzara have 7-day free trials, Smith.ai's Free plan covers 25 calls a month, Goodcall lets you build and test a free demo agent before you connect a number, and Trillet's receptionist has a 28-day money-back guarantee instead of a trial.
