The real bill
The part of a Smith.ai plan that doesn't fit in the headline price.
Take a normal busy month — 94 calls, about 235 talk-minutes — and run it through both providers. Same business, same calls, two invoices.
Smith.ai
AI Receptionist, Pro plan
On Smith.ai's live-staffed Starter plan ($300 for 30 calls, $11.50/call after), the same month runs $1,036.
Prisma Voices
Starter plan
Same 94 calls. Same invoice you'd get in a slow month too.
That's $89 more with Smith.ai's AI plan in a single month — over $1,000 more per year if it's typical.
Illustrative example using Smith.ai's published rates as of August 2026 (smith.ai/pricing) and an average call of ~2.5 minutes. Verify current pricing on smith.ai before deciding.
Why teams switch
Everything that made you consider Smith.ai. None of the per-call math.
Flat, predictable pricing
$99 a month covers 250 minutes — roughly 100 typical calls. Past that it's $0.40 a minute, not $2.00 to $11.50 a call. Busy months stop being scary.
Live in about 5 minutes
Self-serve setup with industry templates already built in. No scripts to write, no agents to train, no onboarding calls to schedule.
Built for your industry
Plumbing, HVAC, dental, legal, real estate and more — Prisma Voices ships with trade-specific call handling, not a blank slate you configure yourself.
Keep your number
Point your existing business line at Prisma Voices. Nothing to port, nothing to reprint, no downtime while you switch.
