Ruby alternatives (2026): 8 options compared on price

AI + live receptionistVerifiedLast checked November 2, 2026

Ruby is an AI + live receptionist that bills per minute. Live receptionists, not an AI-only product. Prices are live-receptionist minute bundles. Its cheapest plan with a monthly fee is 50 minutes at $250/mo (50 min included). At 300 calls a month (3 minutes each) we have no estimate: that is past every published plan and no overage rate is published.

We have no record of these for Ruby: HIPAA, live transfer and SMS. That means we found no evidence, not that it can't.
