No more paying for:

  • The jump to a higher CX tier
  • AI transcription behind a higher tier
  • Standalone AI plans
  • Toll-free and SMS add-ons
It looks like yours is a whole lot simpler than the other one I saw, I think it was Nextiva. You had to train it for the receptionist, and you had to train it for skills.

The AI receptionist is an add-on, priced per agent like a Business seat.
