We are not always the cheapest. At low volume the budget tiers cost less per month. What they leave out is booking into your real calendar, messaging across every channel, and workflows — which is what this page is actually about.
Each of these is good at something. If that something is what you need, you should buy it — not us.

Where they win

You want the lowest possible monthly cost and a five-minute setup, and you don't need booking, messaging, or workflows.

Competitor figures collected September 2026 from the sources named above. Roundups disagree with each other more often than you would expect — we have said so where that is the case rather than picking the number that flatters us.
Send us a month of your calls and we'll show you where the honest break-even is — and say so if another tool is the better buy.
None of this is exotic. It is just usually spread across three other subscriptions.
The agent reads your real calendar, offers only genuinely free slots, books the appointment, and sends the confirmation.
Most tools take a message and email you to call back.
Calls, SMS, WhatsApp, Telegram, and email land in the same thread against the same customer record.
Channels usually live in separate tools with separate histories.
Trigger on call completed, appointment booked, cancelled, or no-show — with delays, conditions, and an activity log.
Automation is often limited to a fixed follow-up sequence.
Staff, locations, per-location pricing, and each member seeing their own calendar.
Small-business plans usually assume one person.
Receptly runs an MCP server, so Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client can read calls and change bookings in plain language.
Rare in this category — assistants are usually closed.
Plans include a monthly minute allowance at a flat rate, from $0.22 a minute.
Per-call pricing makes a busy month expensive without warning.
Flat monthly plans from $0.22/min of included talk time — no per-call charge on top.

They were collected in September 2026 from each vendor's public pricing page or a named third-party roundup, and each row names its source. Competitor pricing changes often and roundups frequently disagree with each other, so treat these as a starting point and confirm with the vendor before you commit.
