How much does an AI receptionist cost
How much an AI receptionist costs is the search when you want a number before you buy anything. This page prices one job: catching a missed call and booking it with tools you already pay for. It does not price the rest of the business.
The number on a tool page is not this job. Read where a small shop should start, what the tools can do this week, and the biggest risks before you compare a plan.
Add up the bill you already have
The missed-call booking uses the phone line you have, the schedule software you have, and a chat tool you have. If the request form is already inside software you pay for, this job can add no new line. Check each vendor's current price before you move up a plan. This page does not print those prices, and it does not print another company's.
The lines to look at on your own bill
Open your own statements. Write each line below. A blank means you have not checked that vendor yet, so leave it blank. The sum is the cost of this job.
- The phone line. Google Voice transcripts and email forwarding are a setting, not a second phone. Confirm on your own account whether your plan already includes them.
- The schedule software. In Jobber the request form lives under the gear icon, Settings, Requests and Bookings. If your plan already includes requests, the form is not a new product.
- The chat tool that turns the transcript into a booking note. Use the one you already open. Read that vendor's current plan page before you pay for a higher tier.
- Your time. One afternoon to record the greeting, turn on transcripts, and place a test call. After that, a few minutes each time a transcript arrives. You still book the visit.
Two ways this job is usually priced
A person who takes a message is commonly billed by the minute, so the month moves with call length, repeat callers, and junk calls. Software is commonly a set fee for the month. Those are two shapes. They are not a quote, and they are not a survey. Before you compare them, ask which minutes count and what happens when you pass them.
Do not take a number from this page and treat it as someone else's price. Their price is on their site.
If you would rather have it built
Deeplathe builds custom AI inside the tools you already use, so the transcript becomes a booking note in that software and waits for you. That work is scoped to this job. The steps above are enough to finish it alone. Published figures for other work, when a build is priced from the list, are on the pricing page.

Questions
How much does an AI receptionist cost?
For this job, add the phone line, the schedule software, and the chat tool you already pay for. If the booking form is included, the new spend can be zero. Check each current price yourself. This page does not print them.
How does that compare with a human answering service?
Human message-taking is commonly billed per minute. Software is commonly a set fee for the month. That is the shape of the market. It is not a quote from any named company.
Where is Deeplathe's number for this?
This page does not sell a receptionist plan. A custom build inside tools you already use is scoped to the job. The pricing page lists published figures for other work.
Where are the steps, not just the cost?
The plumbing page, the med spa page, and the law firm page each teach one booking job in the tools that business already uses. This page only prices that kind of setup.
