What would your busiest month
actually cost?
The AI Receptionist includes 1,500 minutes a month at its recommended tier. Here's the exact math for what happens in your busiest realistic month, no fine print, no guessing.
About 2,796 minutes that month, against the 1,500 included in Tier 2.
Your bill that month would be
$699/that month
$375 base + 1,296 min over at 25c/min = $324 more, billed per minute.
Every month back under 1,500 minutes
$375/moflat, no overage, no math required25 cents a minute, the same rate as your included minutes, billed per minute (each call rounds up to the next full minute). This is the actual formula, not a marketing estimate. Free for 7 days on your real calls.
Why we publish the overage math
Most AI answering tools have a cap somewhere in the plan, VoiceCharm caps at 500 minutes, Ringing.io and RingDesk both charge by usage tier. The difference isn't whether a cap exists. It's whether you can see the real number before you sign up.
NO.1's cap is 1,500 minutes, three times VoiceCharm's, and the overage rate is 25 cents a minute: the same rate as your included minutes, billed per minute. You can run the exact formula above before you ever talk to us.
Common questions
Why publish this instead of just saying "flat rate"?
Because most AI receptionist plans have a cap somewhere, and most don't publish what happens past it. We do: 1,500 minutes included, 25 cents a minute after, billed per minute, the same rate whether you're under or over. This calculator runs the actual formula so you never have to guess.
How often would a typical Phoenix HVAC shop actually go over?
Rarely. 1,500 minutes is more than double a typical month for a 3-15 truck independent. It exists for the genuine outlier: monsoon-season spikes, a heat-wave week, a business that's growing fast. Most months land well under the cap.
