AI receptionist cost per month: a simple calculator

If you can answer 5 questions about your calls, you can estimate monthly spend within a reasonable band—before you book a demo.

Updated: 2026-03-02

The 5 inputs

  1. Calls/week
  2. Average call duration (minutes)
  3. Billing unit (per-minute vs per-call)
  4. Transfer rate (what % of calls transfer)
  5. Add-ons: booking, SMS, analytics

A quick worked example

Example: 200 calls/mo × 2.5 min avg = 500 minutes/mo. If billed at $0.20/min, usage ≈ $100 + base plan.
