How Much Does an AI Receptionist Cost?
With Awava, the AI Receptionist is $97 a month added to the Website or Core plan, or included in AI Pro ($1,997 setup plus $397 a month). Across the market, AI receptionists are priced one of three ways: a flat monthly fee, a rate per minute, or a rate per call, often with a setup fee. What you pay depends mostly on your call volume, whether it books into your calendar, and how much of the setup is done for you.
Add it to Website or Core
The AI Receptionist is $97 a month on top of the Website plan ($2,497 one-time plus $29 a month for managed hosting) or Core ($1,297 setup plus $297 a month).
Included in AI Pro
AI Pro ($1,997 setup plus $397 a month) includes the AI Receptionist with every other channel: missed-call text back, lead follow-up and review requests.
Month to month
Every plan is month to month and cancels with 30 days’ notice. The setup or build fee is charged once.
Three pricing models, and who each one suits.
- Flat monthly feeOne price however many calls come in. Easiest to budget, and a busy month costs the same as a quiet one. This is how Awava prices it.
- Per minuteYou pay for talk time. Cheap when calls are few and short, expensive when the phone is busy or calls run long.
- Per callYou pay for each call answered. Predictable per call, but spam and wrong numbers count too unless the provider filters them.
- Setup feeMany providers charge once to write the scripts, connect your calendar and number, and test it. Ask what is included.
What moves the number up or down.
- Call volumeOn per-minute or per-call plans, the bill grows with your calls. On a flat plan it does not.
- BookingAn AI that books appointments into your calendar does more work than one that only takes messages, and is usually priced higher.
- Hand-offsLive transfer of urgent calls to your phone, with a summary, is often part of the higher tiers.
- Done for you or do it yourselfSome tools hand you software to set up. Awava writes the scripts, connects your number and calendar, and manages it for you.
Work it out with your own numbers.
To see what it is worth, use your own numbers: missed calls in a month (from your phone’s call log), times the share that were real customers, times how often you win a customer you actually speak to, times your average job or client value. If that number is bigger than the monthly price, the AI Receptionist pays for itself.
