Human-receptionist tier offers warm relationship-driven calls. Established 8+ years, large customer base. Multiple specialty tiers (legal, contractor).
Per-minute pricing creates unpredictable monthly costs (typically $300-$1,200/mo with overages). Hybrid model means consistency varies by which agent picks up. Booking accuracy depends on agent training that you don't control.
Flat $797/mo regardless of call volume (Smith.ai overages bite at scale). 24/7 same-quality coverage. Direct PMS integration (Open Dental, Dentrix, ServiceTitan, etc.) booking accuracy 75-90%. Vertical-specific tuning (dental flow vs HVAC flow vs real estate flow).
If your call volume is under 200 minutes/mo AND you specifically want a human voice for relationship-driven sales, Smith.ai's lowest tier may beat AI on raw cost.
