What Does an AI Receptionist Cost? 2026 Pricing Guide

The price of an AI receptionist varies more than you'd think. Here are the factors that actually affect what you'll pay.

Price depends on subscription, usage, channels, telephony and any integrations. Compare the total with staffing and follow-up for the same needs.

"What does it cost?" is often the first question, and often the hardest to get a straight answer to. The price depends on several factors that are rarely spelled out clearly.

Pricing model. A flat monthly fee, price per conversation or price per booking/lead gives different total costs depending on your volume. See our comparison of pricing models for a deeper look.

Which channels you need. Web chat alone costs less than a solution that also covers phone, SMS and WhatsApp.

Integrations. Standard integrations (calendar, CRM) are usually included in the base price with reputable vendors, but always check, as some charge extra.

Industry and call volume. A business with high call volume (for example a dental clinic) often gets more value from a solution with unlimited conversations than pay-per-conversation.

Compare it with staffing. Calculate the cost for the same opening hours and cases, including telephony, usage, setup and human follow-up. See Aveexia's current prices and how the pilot works.
