How it works
Most businesses are live within one week. No setup fees, no long-term contract.
See the setup processWhat will it cost at our call volume?
Estimates assume a three-minute average call. Live answering service costs are typical market rates for the same volume.
| Monthly calls | Minutes | BotsDontSleep | Live answering service |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50 calls / month | 150 min | $90 CAD | $260–$500 CAD |
| 100 calls / month | 300 min | $180 CAD | $500–$950 CAD |
| 200 calls / month | 600 min | $360 CAD | $950–$1,900 CAD |
| 300 calls / month | 900 min | $540 CAD | $1,400–$2,800 CAD |
| 500 calls / month | 1,500 min | $900 CAD | $2,300–$4,600 CAD |
All amounts in CAD. You are billed per second, so partial minutes cost less than the table shows.

Talk with our teamFrequently asked
Pricing questions, answered.
- How much does an AI receptionist cost?
- $0 to set up and $0.60 CAD per minute of answered call time. There is no monthly minimum, no contract, and no per-seat pricing — you pay only for the minutes the AI is actually on the phone.
- Are there setup or onboarding fees?
- No. Onboarding, tuning, dashboard, integrations, and email support are all included at $0 setup. Most businesses are live within one week.
- What counts as a billable minute?
- Only time the AI is actively on a call with a caller. Voicemail drop-offs, hang-ups before connect, and internal test calls are not billed.
- Is there a monthly minimum or contract?
- No. Month-to-month, cancel anytime. If your call volume drops, so does your bill.
- How does pricing compare to a live answering service?
- Live services typically run $1.50–$3.00 CAD per minute plus setup fees. At $0.60 CAD/minute with $0 setup, most businesses see 60–80% lower monthly cost — and every call is answered on the first ring.
- What would a typical month cost us?
- A business taking 300 calls a month averaging three minutes each uses 900 minutes, or about $540. A 100-call month at two minutes averages 200 minutes, roughly $120. You can estimate from your current call log.
- How is billing calculated and invoiced?
- Minutes are metered per second and totalled monthly, then invoiced at the end of each billing cycle. Your dashboard shows minutes used and running cost in real time, so there are no month-end surprises.
- Are outbound calls charged differently?
- No. Outbound follow-ups, confirmations, and callbacks are billed at the same $0.60 per connected minute. Unanswered outbound attempts are not billed.
- Do SMS confirmations and integrations cost extra?
- No. SMS confirmations, calendar and CRM integrations, transcripts, call scoring, and the analytics dashboard are all included in the per-minute rate. There are no add-on modules to buy.
- Is there a charge per user or per location?
- No. Seats are unlimited and multi-location routing is included. Add staff, lines, or offices without changing your rate.
- Do you charge for extra languages or after-hours calls?
- No. All 90+ languages, nights, weekends, and holidays are billed at the same $0.60 CAD per minute. There is no premium tier for out-of-hours coverage.
- Can we cap or control spend?
- Yes. Set monthly minute alerts and call-duration limits in the dashboard, and configure transfer rules so long calls move to your team. You are notified before you cross a threshold you set.
- Is there a free trial or pilot?
- There is no free period — you pay for answered minutes from the first call. But there is nothing to commit to either: $0 setup, no contract, no minimum, and you can hear the receptionist on our live demo line before you sign up for anything.
- What if we want to cancel?
- Cancel any time with no termination fee. Your number stays yours — we release forwarding or port it back, and you keep exported transcripts and call data.
