AI + live receptionistVerifiedLast checked November 2, 2026

Smith.ai is an AI + live receptionist that bills per call. Sells both AI and live receptionists. Prices are its AI Receptionist plans only; live plans are not in our data. Its cheapest plan with a monthly fee is AI Receptionist Pro at $150/mo (75 calls included, then $2.50/call). It also has AI Receptionist Free: no monthly fee, 25 calls included, then $3.00/call. At 300 calls a month (3 minutes each), we estimate $500/mo on AI Receptionist Enterprise. All 8 we can compare like for like cost less at that volume.

We have no record of these for Smith.ai: HIPAA. That means we found no evidence, not that it can't.
