Answering service, receptionist, or AI?

Three ways to make sure the phone gets answered — at very different prices. Put in your call volume and compare the real monthly cost. Every rate is yours to adjust.

Total inbound calls a month (≈ calls/day × days open).
Answering services bill by the minute.

Answering service

$0
/ month
Humans, per-minute. Warm — but every minute is billed, and they take a message, they don't book the job or take payment.

Receptionist

$0
/ month, loaded
A real person — but business hours only. Nights, weekends, lunch, sick days go unanswered.
Lowest cost

KwickPhone AI

$599
/ month, flat · 24/7
Answers every call day or night, books the job, and takes payment into your POS. Flat price, no per-minute meter.
Adjustable rates. Answering service $/min + $ base · Receptionist $/mo · KwickPhone $/mo

A fair note: an answering service and a receptionist give callers a human voice, which some businesses want. KwickPhone's edge is that it's 24/7, flat-rate, and actually completes the job — booking and payment — not just taking a message.
