We checked every price on each company’s own website on 10 November 2026. One tool on this list is ours: Komms. We put it last, and we list its limits too.

Phonely pricing: what we found
Phonely Starter is $50 a month and Pro is $150, or $33 and $100 paid yearly. Pro minutes past the plan are $0.30.
Phonely’s own page lists two different minute allowances for each plan (200 or 250 on Starter, 650 or 750 on Pro). Ask Phonely which applies before you compare.
1. Rosie: three plans by minutes
Rosie is $49/mo for 250 minutes, $149/mo for 1,000 and $299/mo for 2,000, or less paid yearly. There is a 7-day free trial.
Rosie does not show a price for minutes past the plan on its pricing page.
2. Smith.ai: priced per call, with a free plan
Smith.ai’s AI receptionist has a free plan with 25 calls, then $3 a call. Pro is $150/mo for 75 calls, and each extra call is $2.50/call.
Pricing per call means a long call costs the same as a short one.
3. My AI Front Desk: one plan, then credits
Business-in-a-Box is $99/mo, or $79 a month paid yearly. It includes 200 voice minutes, plus texts, chats and forms. Past that, voice minutes are $0.25/min.
There is a 7-day free trial and no free plan.
4. Dialzara: minute bundles from $29
Business Lite is $29/mo for 60 minutes, and Pro is $99/mo for 220. Bigger plans run to $349 for 1,000 minutes. Minutes past the plan cost $0.35 to $0.48, depending on the plan.
A US phone number is included on every plan. There is a 7-day free trial.
5. Goodcall: unlimited minutes, billed by unique callers
Starter is $79/mo, Growth $129/mo and Scale $299/mo, with 100, 500 or 2,000 unique callers a month. Each extra caller is 79 cents on Starter, $0.26/customer on Growth and 15 cents on Scale.
Minutes are unlimited, so long calls do not raise the bill. A caller who rings many times counts once a month.
6. Komms: one per-minute rate, phone call included
Komms answers your calls with an AI agent you build as a flow of questions, with no code. It books appointments, answers from your knowledge base, and transfers to a person when needed, in English and Spanish.
Calls cost $0.08/min, with the phone call, the AI and a standard voice included, billed in 6-second steps. A phone number is $15 a month. New accounts start with 625 free minutes, with no card.
Limits: there is no flat plan with unlimited minutes, so very long calls cost more than on a per-caller plan. Contact us: lower prices may apply at your volume.
