An AI receptionist from 513 AI is $497/mo plus a $997 setup. It answers 24/7 on your existing line in English and Spanish, texts every caller your booking link, and sends you an SMS summary the moment a hot call ends. You can hear it live at (513) 650-6960 before you spend a dollar.
That's the short answer. The longer answer is that receptionist pricing only matters if it's the right first move for your business. For most Cincinnati small businesses, it isn't. Here's how to think about what's actually worth your money this year.
## What does an AI receptionist actually do for $497 a month?
It answers every call, or only the ones you miss, on the line you already have. No porting, no new number. It speaks English and Spanish and detects which the caller uses. It texts callers your booking link so they book themselves. Missed-call text-back and quote chasing are included.
You pick the voice from 28 options during a 30-minute onboarding call, with playable samples. If you want to hear one working in the wild first, call (513) 650-6960. That's the live demo line, no signup, no email capture. It's the fastest way to decide if a voice agent fits how your customers actually talk.
## Is the receptionist the right first product?
Probably not. Most clients start with the 513 AI Personal Assistant at $97/mo, no setup fee, self-serve at 513ai.ai/assistant, live in about two minutes. You text it or email it a job and it answers on the spot. It builds branded estimates and invoices, reads Word, Excel, and PDF, and sends a 7am briefing.
The reason to start there is simple. It's cheap, it's fast, and you learn whether AI actually fits how you work before you spend $1,494 in month one on a receptionist. Run it a couple months. If it earns its keep, add a second product.
## What are the other options and what do they cost?
Six products, each fixes one headache. AI Review Manager runs Google, Yelp, and Trustpilot responses in your voice for $197/mo plus $397 setup. AI Website Agent is a chatbot trained on your business for $297/mo plus $199 setup. AI SEO Agent publishes articles Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and tracks whether ChatGPT and Claude recommend you, nightly, for $797/mo plus $997 setup. AI Lead Reactivation is a one-shot 30-day win-back over your dormant list, $997 base up to 1,000 leads, capped at $2,997.
Beyond those six, the AI Ops Suite is custom work quoted per project, $500/mo to $10,000+/mo. That's for the jobs the standard products don't cover. If a human can do it on a computer, we can automate it.
## What's the catch on pricing?
Each recurring product includes one free hour of changes per month, overage is $75/hr. Cancel anytime with 30 days notice and one final billing cycle. Multiple locations get 25% off MRR per additional location. That's it.
513 AI is based in Cincinnati and serves Northern Kentucky, Dayton, and the rest of the Tri-State. The products are software, so location doesn't change the price. The Cincinnati focus is for in-person meetings when a client wants one.
## What's the next step?
Call the demo line first: (513) 650-6960. Hear the receptionist answer, decide if the voice sounds like something your customers would trust. Then book the free 15-minute intro call at 513ai.ai. No pitch, we'll just explain where you should start and why.
