PROVIDER PROFILE

Smith.ai AI Receptionist

AI receptionist + live humans.

This profile explains where to start a comparison; it is not a hands-on performance review or a claim that this provider is the best for every buyer.

What to evaluate.

Short calls cost the same as long ones. Custom prompting and integrations are on Enterprise ($500/month) only.

Start with your call flows: new enquiries, appointment changes, existing customers and urgent transfers. An effective answering service needs a reliable escalation path as much as a natural voice.
