For a small business taking about 100 calls a month, Goodcall Starter ($79/month, 100 unique callers, no minute charges) is the cheapest predictable option among the four checked. Rosie Professional is the lowest sticker price at $49/month but includes only 250 minutes. Smith.ai has the only free plan (25 calls a month) and can hand calls to live receptionists, but costs about $2 or more per call after that. My AI Front Desk is $99/month ($79 yearly) with 200 minutes plus chat, SMS and a CRM.
