Price comparison, checked September 28, 2026

Same stack.
Six price tags.

What JotLink includes for a small team: cloud PBX with IVR and queues, call recording and an AI receptionist that answers 100 minutes a month. Each competitor is priced on the plan that actually matches this feature set. Move the sliders: every number recalculates from published price lists.

AI receptionist minutes / mo100

Feature set: multi-level IVR, call queues, call recording and the AI receptionist. Native Salesforce/HubSpot connectors are not required, because JotLink connects CRMs through its open API and webhooks rather than a vendor app; where a competitor needs a higher plan for them, the fine print says so.

Prices and features shown are taken from each vendor's publicly available US pricing pages as of September 28, 2026, and are provided for general informational purposes only. They are month-to-month list prices in USD and exclude taxes, regulatory fees, E911 surcharges, hardware, number porting and usage beyond the amounts shown. Vendors change prices, plans and feature availability without notice, and actual pricing may vary by region, seat count, contract term, promotions and negotiation. Plan selection is based on the vendors' published feature descriptions and may not reflect every configuration a vendor offers. Figures labelled "uncertain" rely on checkout screens or third-party sources; figures labelled "not published" are excluded from totals. This comparison is not an offer, quote or endorsement, and JotLink is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by any vendor named here.

The price of one AI minute

Effective cost per minute of AI receptionist at your volume: bundle price divided by minutes actually used. Vendors that bill per conversation are converted at a 2.5-minute average call.

MethodologyHow we counted

Month-to-month US list prices, checked September 28, 2026, on the plan that matches JotLink's feature set. Open the sections below for the exact rules and sources.

How the numbers are calculated (8 rules)

Only vendors that sell a full cloud phone system (user seats, IVR, queues, SMS) and an AI receptionist are compared. Voice-agent platforms without business telephony are out of scope.
Prices are US list prices in USD, read from each vendor's public pricing page on September 28, 2026. Taxes, regulatory recovery fees and E911 surcharges are excluded for everyone (no vendor publishes exact amounts).
The feature set is what JotLink Telephony ships with: multi-level IVR, call queues, call recording, plus the AI receptionist. Native Salesforce/HubSpot connectors are not required, since JotLink connects CRMs through its open API and webhooks. For every vendor we pick the lowest plan that matches that set, then add the vendor's own add-ons for anything still missing. Phone numbers are excluded for everyone.
Outbound calling: every competitor bundles unlimited US & Canada calling into the seat price. To compare on equal footing, each JotLink seat is counted as $15: the $5 licence plus 1,000 outbound minutes at $0.01 per minute ($10 per 1,000). JotLink bills outbound minutes only as used and inbound calls are free, so a team that calls out less pays less than shown.
All prices are month-to-month list prices. Annual-commitment discounts (typically 10 to 35% at RingCentral, Dialpad, Nextiva and Zoom) are deliberately not applied, so every vendor is compared on the same no-commitment footing. JotLink and Ooma each have a single published rate.
Per-conversation AI pricing (Nextiva, Dialpad) is converted to a per-minute rate at a 2.5-minute average call: Dialpad $1.99 per voice conversation = $0.796/min; Nextiva 100 interactions = 250 minutes, then $0.99 per interaction = $0.396/min. Nextiva counts a call over 30 seconds as one interaction; Dialpad bills a voice conversation when the AI performs at least one lookup or action.
Anything a vendor does not publish is shown hatched and excluded from the total, with a note. We do not estimate quote-only prices.
Labels: verified read on an official page this date; uncertain official wording is ambiguous or a third-party figure; n/a not published.

Before you choose

Why is each vendor priced on a different plan?

Because we match features, not plan names. JotLink's telephony includes multi-level IVR, call queues and call recording at one rate; most vendors put one or more of those on a higher tier or a paid add-on, so that is the plan we price.

What is included in the JotLink figure?

Telephony counted as $15 per user per month ($5 licence plus 1,000 outbound minutes at $0.01, the equivalent of competitors' unlimited calling; inbound calls are free and outbound minutes are billed only as used), the AI Voice Agent at $5 per 100 minutes. CRM connection through the open API and webhooks is free. Not included: phone numbers ($2 per local number per month), SMS ($0.05 per message), the JotLink CRM module ($15 per user), AI Analytics and taxes.

Where can I verify a competitor's price?

Every vendor name on this page links to that vendor's official pricing page, and the Sources section lists every page we read and the date we read it. Always confirm the current offer with the vendor.

Why might my actual bill differ?

Taxes and regulatory fees, annual-contract discounts, promotions, seat-count bands, rounding rules and usage beyond the amounts shown all change the total. Costs a vendor does not publish are excluded and marked as such. These are modeled scenarios, not quotes.

Can I use my existing business number?

Discuss forwarding or porting your current number with our team. The appropriate setup depends on your phone service and how you want calls handled.
