Phonely alternatives (2026): 8 options compared on price

AI receptionistVerifiedLast checked November 2, 2026

Phonely is an AI receptionist that bills per minute. Its cheapest plan with a monthly fee is Starter at $50/mo (200 min included, then $0.25/min). At 300 calls a month (3 minutes each), we estimate $225/mo on Starter. 5 of the 8 we can compare like for like cost less at that volume.

HIPAA is on Enterprise plan, not the starting price. We have no record of these for Phonely: CRM sync and call routing. That means we found no evidence, not that it can't.
