Minutes
Frontdesk, Rosie, Dialzara and others meter conversation time. Long calls matter.
Verified pricing
AI receptionist pricing is only comparable after you normalize the billing unit.
Some vendors charge by minute, some by call, some by unique customer, and some publish only a base price. This page keeps those models separate so a cheap sticker price is not mistaken for a cheap monthly bill.

Why sticker price misleads
Five billing models can produce very different monthly totals.
Calls
Smith.ai meters real calls. Call length is not the pricing unit.
Unique customers
Goodcall meters distinct customers, so repeat callers behave differently than new callers.
Flat or unlimited
A flat price can be attractive at high volume, but only when the published plan price is verified.
Base price only
A public starting price without usage rules is not enough to call a vendor cheapest.

From shortlist to purchase
Test the vendors with the same proof questions.
The $29 Vendor Evaluation Kit gives you a consistent workflow, demo tests, and evidence capture so the vendor with the best sales call does not automatically win.

No. Affiliate status and commission are kept outside the pricing and recommendation logic. Some vendor records may contain active or researched commercial programs, but those fields do not change ordering, calculations, scores, or tie-breakers.
