24/7 phone answering
An AI answering service that books the job instead of taking a message.
Every missed call is a customer calling the next name on the list. 513 AI answers on the second ring — 24/7, in English or Spanish — answers real questions about your business, books the appointment, and texts you the lead. Flat rate. No per-minute meter running.
The math
Flat rate beats a minute meter
Typical human answering service
$1–$2 per minute or $250–$400/mo for a small bundle of minutes. Overages every busy month. Scripts, not answers — most can only take a message.
Hiring a receptionist
$35,000–$45,000 a year, covers 40 hours of the 168-hour week, and still misses the Saturday call that was worth the whole payroll.
513 AI answering service
$497/mo flat, unlimited answering, 24/7. Books appointments, texts you every lead, speaks English and Spanish. Cancel anytime.
Questions
Answering service FAQ
Human answering services usually charge by the minute or by the call — plans that look like $300/mo often cover only 100–200 minutes, and a busy month can double the bill. Ours is a flat $497/mo with unlimited answering, plus a one-time $997 setup. The price you sign up at is the price you pay in your busiest week of the year.
It books. The AI knows your services, your hours, and your schedule, so a caller can ask a question, pick a time, and get a confirmation text before they hang up. You get a text summary of every call — message-taking is the fallback, not the product.
Same thing that happens at 9am on a Tuesday: it answers. Nights, weekends, holidays, and the hour when your whole crew is on ladders. Most owners route missed calls first — your phone rings like normal, and the AI only picks up what you couldn't.
It sounds natural and warm, and it never pretends to be a person if someone asks. Most callers just want their question answered and a time booked — and they notice the pickup on the second ring more than anything else.
No. Keep your number and forward missed calls (a two-minute phone setting), or we give you a new tracking number — whichever fits how you work. Setup is usually live within a week.
Same engine, same price — “answering service” is just what many owners call it when they start shopping. The AI Receptionist page has the full product tour, and the demo there answers questions about your own business.

A 15-minute call is faster than reading about it. We'll show the AI answering the questions your customers actually ask — live, for your business.
