AI receptionist cost: minutes, scope and a useful budget

The short answer

The published AI Receptionist offer is €149 per month with 300 included minutes and €0.39 per extra minute. A useful budget also checks what the service includes, what third-party usage is separate, and which workflows are actually connected. This offer is not a live checkout.

Calculate monthly minute usage

Use call count multiplied by average handled call duration as a first estimate. For example, 100 calls averaging four minutes represent 400 minutes. Under the published offer, 100 minutes exceed the allowance and cost €39, making the illustrative subscription total €188. This is arithmetic, not a usage forecast. Ask how failed calls, transferred time, rounding and test calls are measured before agreeing to billing terms.

Budget for the workflow, not only the voice

Phone setup, calendar access, number ownership, SMS and implementation can affect the total. This site does not publish extra setup fees or claim that all third-party charges are included. Get the scope in writing rather than assuming a cheap per-minute figure covers every action. For a hotel, reservation-system access matters; for a clinic, privacy and administrative boundaries may matter more than voice customization.

Apply the workflow to your industry

Use contribution rather than gross sales for ROI

A basic planning formula is incremental contribution plus measured time savings, minus the full monthly cost. Contribution is the amount remaining after costs directly associated with a job or appointment, not the headline sale amount. Avoid counting every captured inquiry as a new customer. Track accepted appointments, actual attendance and outcomes the business can verify. Any spreadsheet scenario should label assumptions instead of presenting them as proof.

Compare providers on the same scope

Compare included minutes, overage rules, concurrency, handoff, integrations, transcript retention, support and the exit process. Check whether a demo is simulated or connected to a real phone number. Product screenshots do not prove that a booking integration works. Ask for a low-risk pilot with clear pass/fail criteria and a human fallback before moving the main business number.

The workspace demo illustrates desired outcomes using sample data. Treat the stated monthly offer as a published proposal to evaluate, not evidence that all operational services are active today.
