The assumptions behind the numbers

100 or 500 minutes are modeled as 40 or 200 calls, averaging 2.5 minutes each. Per-customer pricing assumes one unique customer per call. Repeated callers can reduce that cost.

We use monthly billing and a published plan or usage calculation that covers each scenario. Required base subscriptions are included where stated. Taxes, optional extras and negotiated discounts are excluded. This is a cost comparison, not a claim that features are identical.

Rosie uses a plan with enough included minutes because its overage rate is not published. Abby is modeled as AI-only: two AI minutes per Abby Minute. RingCentral rounds calls in 30-second increments; actual bills may vary. Sources were checked on September 16, 2026 and may change.

Only providers with a direct public pricing page are included. Zoom is omitted because a suitable dedicated pricing page was not verified. This is a selected comparison, not a complete market ranking.

Before you choose

Are all services priced in the same way?

No. Some charge for minutes, others for calls, conversations or unique customers. The scenario makes those differences explicit; open a provider for the calculation.

What is included in the JotLink estimate?

AI Voice Agent usage at $0.05 per minute: $5 for 100 minutes or $25 for 500 minutes. Other JotLink modules, outbound calls and SMS, and taxes are not included. See the pricing calculator for your full configuration.

Where can I verify a competitor’s price?

Every provider has a direct Official pricing link inside its details. Additional official usage documentation is linked where needed. Always confirm the current offer with the provider.

Why might my actual bill differ?

Call duration, repeat callers, rounding, taxes, optional features and subscription requirements can change the total. These are modeled scenarios rather than a personalized quote.

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.
